Computers today
Computer document programs allow people to prepare typed memos, statements and
letters. The analytical tools built into typical document programs help writers check for
mistakes. Businesses use software programs to carry out business activities on their
computers.
The Internet offers many other uses for individual and companies using computers.
Businesses often present merchandise to customers on their websites. Online retailing is a
way for consumers to make purchases from home, at any time, and for sellers to offer higher
levels of inventory than they can fit into a store. The Internet is also used by individuals and
company representatives to send electronic mail. Email allows for communication of
personal messages and for correspondence between company representatives and clients or
partners.
People also use computers to conduct research using the World Wide Web. Students conduct
research for research papers in classes. Business representatives conduct research for use in
preparing statistical analysis, reports and marketing materials. Users can go directly to sites
or enter search phrases in a search engine.
