In Work

​

It is rare these days to find an office that does not have a personal computer. Many work-related activities can be executed in a much better way by using a computer. Employees use office computers for making presentations, creating drafts, keeping records of the company and making spreadsheets. A number of professions these days are directly related to computer usage, including web page and graphic design. With the majority of the world connected to the Internet, individuals can work from their personal computers at home and make their living this way, like website content writers. Personal computers are used for off-line work too. Music studios often use personal computers to record musical tracks. After recording, the tracks can then be mixed and mastered, all on a personal computer.

Education

 

The role of the personal computer in the field of education is also prominent . Nowadays, it is common among college and school students to have a personal computer at home, and some even bring laptops to school. Students can research papers and essays online, looking for both historical facts and the latest happenings around the globe. Most colleges and schools have personalized web pages to display important notices to students, and students find this to be a convenient way to get updates on campus events.

Graphic Designing and Motion Pictures

 

The greatest tool of artists is their imagination but it is limited by their knowledge (try imagining something you don’t know). But the diversity computing offers may address this problem. For the creative artist, computers supply three basic tools: access to information, software, and new ways to interact. This has had three main effects: anyone with the right software can be creative; the tool is constantly evolving; and it is difficult to develop tradition or generational history, as aesthetic and conceptual paradigms are constantly subverted by the newest tools.
