Activity 1-Prelim
INSTRUCTION: Explain the computer applications throughout history. TURN IN your
activity in the google classroom. You have until September 2, 2022 (Friday). (100 points.)
Explain the impact of computer applications in the field of:
1. EDUCATION
Because of the advancement of computers, students now have the access to infinite or
limitless knowledge. Whereas previously we only learned in the classroom or libraries, but now
there are many search engines that provide information that is useful in student assignments and
projects.
2. FINANCE
Computers in financial services provide numerous advantages, including increased
security, speed, convenience, coverage, and customer experience. In the industry, various
technologies have been used. Blockchain and cryptocurrencies are examples, as are big data and
artificial intelligence, cybersecurity solutions, and digital banking.
3. GOVERNMENT
The computer also had a significant impact on government because it made it faster and
easier to record statistical data. Because of the computer's influence, even tracking has become
easier, and even disseminating information. Back then, they used to work by hand/manual, it is
now much easier because they can complete their tasks with just one keystroke on the keyboard
of the computer.
4. HEALTHCARE
Nurses can quickly access important information about your health or illness and
treatment plan from your electronic health record using computers. Nurses can access
information such as laboratory test and x-ray results, as well as health reports from other
members of your health-care team, to provide you with the best care possible. Medical
computers can help hospitals and patients save money. Going paperless allows you to save
money on paper, printing, and postage. Furthermore, medical computers can help with increased
efficiency.
5. SCIENCE
The computer is a great help in the field of science because it contributes to scientists'
inventions and research work. Even researcher students needs a computer because it facilitates
access to related studies and, of course, the hardcopy production of their work.
6. PUBLISHING
The computer has had a significant impact on the field of publishing because it used to
take years to copy a book, but now it only takes a few minutes. This is how computers and
modern technologies have accelerated and improved publishing
7. TRAVEL
Travel technology automates bookings, payments, and back-office tasks for travel
agencies while also allowing consumers to book online without using a travel agent. Multimedia,
such as Instagram and Facebook, are used to promote the travel industry and can produce photo
and graphic designs for tourism suppliers to use in advertising their products
8. MANUFACTURING
Computers are now used in all aspects of manufacturing, such as planning, control,
scheduling, designing, distribution, processing, marketing, and production. Factors governing
increased productivity, greater accuracy, greater shape flexibility, and lower manufacturing costs
are compelling manufacturers to use computers.
