Programs such as Word and PowerPoint gives us a new working environment, which makes it easier to write essays and make presentations. Also, programs such as Word makes it easier to change mistakes on a writing assignment rather than having to rewrite the entire assignment because a change was needed somewhere in you writing. Word also a program within it that will notice if a spelling or grammatical error is made. This can really be helpful because it won’t be needed to rely on having someone else proof read the assignment because there is a chance that they could miss a mistake that the computer wouldn’t miss.

Also, the computer has been able to help businesses with all the parts and necessities of running a business. They can help with everything from making forms and documents to doing payroll for the employees.

Also computers let you network throughout the building making it easier to transfer documents and such from one floor to another, which also saves paper and time. Being able to use a portable computer or laptop for work is very helpful because you’re then able to take your work home with you much easier.
