Computers: Productive Tools In Our Lives

Computers: Productive Tools In Our Lives

Have you ever seen a computer in a store and said, "Whoa! What a chick!"? I am sure you would have, if you were familiar with the new 16xCD-ROM and extra wide SCSI-2 9.0 GB hard drive it features, or if you knew about the dual 225 MHz

Pentium pro MMX chips blazing up its performance. To tell you all about computers, it takes a total computer nut like me. After working with computers almost all my life, I can tell you that a computer is an electrical device, without which a guy like me probably cannot survive. If you have no idea of what

I am beeping about, read on. Experts, I report no error in reading further.

Computers are very productive tools in our everyday lives. To maximize the utility of a computer, what you need to do is get going with the program. To do that, the minimum system requirements are a C.P.U. or the central processing unit, a keyboard, a monitor, a mouse, and if you want, a printer and a CD - ROM drive. The C.P.U. is that part of a computer that faithfully does what his master tells him to do, with the help of input devices like a keyboard or a mouse. After all this so called sophisticated, next generation equipment, you need some sort of software. Software is a set of instructions to the C.P.U. from a source such as a floppy disk, a hard drive or a CD - ROM drive, in zillions of

1's and 0's. Each of these tiny little instructions makes up a bit. Then they assemble to form a byte. Bytes make up a program, which you run to use the computer's various applications.

Now that you know more about computers than Einstein did, let me tell you something more about them, so that you will beat the President in the field of computing. In your computer, you require a good amount of RAM, which is there to randomly accesses memory. That is required to speed up your computer, so that it gives you more error messages in less time. The faster the error messages it gives, the faster you call technical help at 1-800-NeedHelp. The service is open

24 hours a day, but to get through, you will have to wait, at least, until the next Halley's comet passes by. The only thing now required, for you to become the master of this part of the world, is to have a very BOLD determination to become a computer geek.
