My father and mom are working at Techno computers Company. This is a very big company in the

They have worked for the company for three years. My dad does many things. He has to research,
design, develop, and test computer systems and components such as processors, circuit boards,
memory devices, networks, and routers. My mom has other kind of tasks. Lately, she has studied
the organization’s current computer systems and procedures. She told me that she has also
designed some information systems solutions to help the organization operate more efficiently and
effectively. It sounds like a lot of work to me.
