The Use of Computer in our life

In our previous post we talked about the use of computer in industry. We looked that how computer helps us in office or factory environment. Today we will see that how computer is helpful in our other matters. It has become that part of history when the mail delivery took too much time to reach to reach its destination. Now, with the help of computer our message reaches to its destination just within a second. This type of mail is called Electronic Mail or E-Mail; we can send E-Mail in any type of data. Such as text, image, audio and video. If we want to send simply text message, we will just type our message and then send it, but if we want to send other data type file, we will use the attachment facility. We can attach the other file with our mail and that file/files also delivered to the desired E-mail address. So, in short, we can say that the use of computer in the field of mail brought a very positive change and now the mail delivery time has been reduced from days to seconds.
It was also a long process to arrange the meetings. First of all, inform the members about the meeting place and time, then the participants will prepare on their end. They have to travel long distances, some had to travel from one city to another. But the use of computer has made it too much easy to arrange meetings or in other words, we can say that the traditional meetings have been replaced with the videoconferences. All the participants take part from their offices or from their homes. They just need a computer and Internet connection. So, all members can share their ideas and views along with their live videos.
Another major advantage of computer use in our life is it, that it brought a revolutionary change in the field of Banking, this called E-Banking. With the help of E-Banking, our accounts and all other bank related activities remain under our access or observation twenty-four hours. We can check our bank balance with ATM and we can also withdraw amount any time. We can check our balance through computer and Internet and even from our cell phone. So, E-Banking is also due to the use of computer in the field of banking.
The use of computer has also made our sale and purchase very easy. Now, where it is easy for the manufactures to sale their products, it also very useful for the customers to purchase. Now, the customers can purchase anything and anytime from their home. We need just a computer and Internet connection. We will visit to products web site and then we can place our online order.
So, in the end we can summarize our post “ The use of computer in our life” in the following words that the use of computer has totally changed our life. We find computer in almost all the major departments of our life. In our previous post we discussed how computer is helping us in offices and factories. In this post we talked about E-Mail, E-Conference, E-Banking and E-Shopping. E-mail is the replacement of our traditional mail system and now we can send mail along with other file attachments just in seconds, where as in past, it was a long and time taking activity. E-Conference is the replacement of traditional meeting system and now the participants can participate from their offices or even from their homes. And same way E-Banking made it possible that we can use all the banking services from our homes and due to the E-Shopping we can purchase anything anytime from our home and on the other hand, E-Shopping is helpful for manufactures to sale their products.

The Role Of Computer In Business

Almost two hundred years ago, nobody was familiar with the word of computer and it was unbelievable at that time that one day computer will become the essential part of our daily life.
Today the use of computer has become compulsory in the all fields of our life. Here we will discuss the use of computer in our daily business life. Once there was a time when offices were full of registers and files and factories and offices have large record rooms full of register and manual workings. And it was a hard activity t find about anything. But now, the computer has made it too much easier to manage our data. We manage the records of our employees, all personal information of employees. Furthermore, we store and manage the daily attendance of employees, their “Time-In” and “Time-Out”, in short, we generate our payroll with the help of computer and store all the employees’ personal records and it is too much easier to locate any specific record.
There is also accounting software available in the market, which, help us to manage our accounts activities, such as to calculate the taxes to generate the profit and loss reports, vouchers of all expenditures.
Computers also help us to manage our inventory and like accounts software, inventory softwares are also easily available about in the market and the stock remains always in front of our eyes. It helps us to take decision that what items are urgently required and where the items are over loaded. In short, our store stock and warehouse position always remains under our observation due to the computer.
Where computers help us to manage our accounts and inventory it is also very useful as for as the sale is concerned. If a factory has more than one outlet (shop) in one or different cities. We can update our daily sales with the help of computers. We can replicate the data from sales point and in this way our main database updates. The sales man puts the amount of all items and this one time activity prevents him to calculate again and again the list of sold items. Customers also receive the detailed printed receipt of items with the individual price items quantity, total amount and the grand total. Computer also calculates the taxes and all is easily possible due to the use of computer.
So, in the end, we can summarize our post that computer is very vital invention of last century. Prior, the invention of computer it was too much difficult task to manage our data but with the help of computer, it has become too much easy to manage our day-to-day activities in all fields of life. In this post, we discussed the use of computer in our business. We can save the adman’s related records such as the information of employees leave record; we generate the monthly payrolls and all the records related to payrolls such as salaries, salaries taxes and benefits.
Computer is also very useful in the accounts department and helps us to manage account records, it helps us to calculate profit and loss reports and generate accounts ledgers. Computers help us to maintain our inventory system, to maintain our store and warehouse stock positions and in the end we discussed how computers help us as for as the sale is concerned.
