Why Are Computers So Important?

• Computer technology is used to serve and connect people in the modern


world.

• Desktops, laptops and mobile devices network the world together and
perform multiple operations at once; however, this industry includes more
than these machines.

• Individuals, communities, government and organizations rely on computer


technology to produce or innovate the majority of things in their lives, such
as food, services, entertainment, care, communication, education and
transportation.
EDUCATION
• A computer is a useful tool for advancing educationally in traditional and non-traditional
ways.

• Colleges and universities offer online courses for adults who are looking to obtain a degree
without quitting their job.

work to their teacher.

• Each year, hundreds of thousands of individuals launch businesses based from their homes or in
small-office locations.

• They rely on inexpensive computers and software not only to perform basic work functions, but
to manage and grow their companies.

• These tools enable business owners to handle tasks- such as daily accounting chores, inventory
management, marketing, payroll, and many others- that once required the hiring of outside
specialists.

• For example, free lancers establish their own small businesses working online.
INDUSTRY
• Businesses today have a wide range of uses for computers. This has been a necessity for industry
as a way to utilize their resources more efficiently, as well as a way to reach a larger group of
potential customers.

• Using spreadsheets or databases, most businesses utilize some sort of computer maintained
inventory tracking system.

• From printing or depositing paychecks, to applying raises and bonuses, industries have become
very reliant on computer management.

• Customer databases are used not just to track order information for clients, but also to
chronicle interactions to better serve clients in the future.

• All industries have been migrating towards the Internet over the past two decades, resulting in
the need for maintained websites, requiring not only server space, but maintenance and
updates to these sites as well.
GOVERNMENT

• Like businesses, state and federal government offices use computers.

• Government employees must set up meetings and distribute various reports.

• Computers help these workers expedite these tasks, as most government-issued computers
contain numerous software programs like word processing, spreadsheets and database
management programs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

• Computer uses in government offices also include various e-mail functions, payment
distribution, record keeping and even coordinating mailings.
HEALTHCARE

• Healthcare professionals review and prescribe medications using electronic health records.

• They also use apps and software programs to manage patient records.

• This technology not only boosts staff efficiency, but it also helps to prevent human error.

• Nurses can also use technology to perform routine health checks such as EKGs, oxygen levels,
and blood pressure.

• Surgeons carry out many advanced surgical procedures using a computer.

• This process is known as Computer Assisted Surgery, or CAS, and is quickly becoming popular in
the medical field.
