Some people say that computers made life more complex and very stressful. But, they do not see real advantages of computers. They made life easier and more convenient in many ways. A prove of this, it is that computers help us every day in routinely and boring jobs. Also, we can retrieve a lot of information of them and finally, our modern communications would be impossible without this technology.

Nowadays, everybody in the world is demanding more and more goods, like cars, video-game consoles and televisions and they are possible thanks to computers. Computers makes very well repetitive tasks and they are also very good administrating them. For example, in car factory there are lots robots assembling cars. But, these robots need a central unity to do which is in charge of operations and administration of the whole process. The answer: a computer! This is a very good example, why are so important computers, normally a common human cannot manage all this operations with the same velocity as a computer can.

On the other hand, we are living a incredible time because of the Internet. We can retrieve a lot of information from many different sources in a couple of seconds and use it for whatever we want. For instance, 15 years ago a school-student to do his homework. He had to collect all the information retrieving them from a library and normally this information was not completely enough. Now, a school student can retrieve lots of information from internet and he can complement this initial information with many other different sources obtained from the internet too.

Today for many different reasons, people are migrating from their home-country to other countries. But they still want to have a contact with their families and friend. Computers are a really convenient tool to reach this goal. There are technologies with audio and video capabilities like Skype or MSN Messenger which we can use in our computers to communicate with our loved ones.

Summing up, I think that computers are tremendous tools which help us to make our life easier and more convenient. They can do for us all those boring and repetitive tasks. Besides, they help us to retrieve a lot of information from many sources to use them in homework or thing like that and finally they are helping to many immigrants to communicate with their loved ones. I cannot imagine my life without a computer!
