of such services are city planning, traffic control, law
enforcement, infrastructure developments, and
tourism. In most cases, the primary purposes of using
computers are performing data processing tasks,
maintaining citizens' database, and promoting a
paperless environment. Apart from this, computers
are playing a crucial role in the country's defense
system. They are helping in missile development,
rocket, satellite launches, etc.
Health and Medical
Computers are radically changing the methods of
diagnosis in hospitals. They are used for maintaining
patients' information, records, live monitoring of
patients, X-rays, and more. Everything is being
digitized with the help of computers. Computers help
configure lab-tools, monitor heart rate, and blood
pressure, etc. Doctors get extra advantages in treating
patients with proper drugs and medicines.
Additionally, computers enable doctors to exchange
patient's data easily with other medical specialists.
Besides, advanced surgical devices are based on
robotics that helping surgeons to conduct complex
operations and surgeries remotely.

Education
Computers are broadly getting used in the education
field. They help people get different educational
materials (such as images, videos, e-books, etc.) in
one place. All such information can be accessed
through the Internet. Additionally, computers are best
suited for online classes, online tutoring, online
examinations, and creating assignments and projects.
Apart from this, they can also be used to maintain and
monitor student performance and other information.

Industry
Computers are used in industries to perform various
tasks, such as maintaining inventory, interior
designing, designing samples or virtual products,
communicating over video conferencing, and more.
Online marketing has made it easier for people to buy
products in rural areas. Online trading in stock
markets has also seen a significant revolution due to
its easy participation potential. Computers have
enabled people from different levels of different
locations to participate easily in stock marketing.

Banking
Banking has become so advanced in the past few
years. Most countries use online banking systems
where customers can access their data directly using
computers and the Internet. People can check their
account balance, transfer money, and pay online bills,
including credit cards. Besides, Banks use computers
to perform transactions and store customer data,
transaction records, etc. Banks have reduced the
number of manual errors, number of employees, and
costs to a great extent by using computers. ATMs are
the best example of computers that are helping
people to withdraw and deposit the money
themselves.

Entertainment
Computers nowadays are one of the best mediums
for entertainment. Computers can be used to watch
movies, play games, listen to music, etc. Computers
combined with MIDI instruments can be used to
record audio through artificial instruments. Besides,
people can also enjoy recording their videos with
webcam and apply several entertaining AI effects.
