Only once in a lifetime will a new invention come about to touch every aspect of our lives. Such devices changed the way we manage, work, and live. A machine that has done all this and more now exists in nearly every business in the United States. This incredible invention is the computer. Computers are one of the most important inventions ever. If computers had not been invented, technology would not be developed to its current state. Since the computer invention, society has changed severely. Computer technology is so helpful, that it is even used to create newer, better computer equipment. Almost everything today is linked in some way, to a computer.

They are good for studying and research, if the sites are indeed factual. Computers supply a way to type papers, they can be used for business classes, and it can provide children with something they may enjoy using. If students are interested in what they are doing, they will do it better. Computer programs are also very helpful to business classes. Accounting classes and computer related fields of study must have computers to be current with today's business. Accounting today is all computerized. It is necessary to familiarize students to the functions of various programs if they are going to go into one of those fields.
