CAT module 1.1 computers in our everyday livesWhy we use computers:
Efficiency:
Computers save the following:
-Time: work faster than people can.
-Labour: Computers have reduced the labour in mentally intensive tasks and can
perform tasks that are too dangerous for humans to perform.
-Resources: Resources cost money and computers can be programmed to work
more efficiently with resources.
Accuracy: As long as computers have quality data and quality programs they are
extremely accurate. If the software is correct the computer than perform tasks
over and over with 100% accuracy.
Reliability: Computers can be relied on to do tasks without getting tired, bored,
complaining or asking for more money.
Communication:
-Virtually eliminate time and distance as business constraints
-Communicate and share information in many different ways globally
-Save on communication costs: VOIP software cheaper than making telephone
calls.
-Interact socially on a world-wide scale.

network.
