Life without computers is unimaginable today. Computers, along with the Internet, have changed the world in a way that can be termed only as incredible. With the advent of computers, Homo sapiens entered the Information Age. Suddenly it became child’s play to process a massive amount of data.
Computers brought convenience to all aspects of modern life. With the help of a computer, one could balance bank accounts, use dictionary and encyclopedia programs paint a picture and even design a house. Whatever one’s need, there is a software program tailor- made for it. And now that desktop computers have given way to notebooks and laptops, one can do all this wherever one happens to be the cafeteria, at an airport lounge, or even in mid-air.
