Computers are everywhere!! They touch everything we do in our work and home lives. The use of Computers and knowledge of computing is no longer the preserve of “geeks” and “anoraks”; as computers have evolved and become more advanced, so as their ease of use. Anybody of any age can learn the basics of computing, and indeed basic computing knowledge is now almost a pre-requisite for all office-based careers. Computer “knowledge” can be broadly broken down into knowing how to use a computer and knowing how computers work .
But it is not just in the workplace where a basic knowledge of computing is almost a “must-have”. The adoption of the internet as a primary sorce of knowledge and information means that if we can’t access and navigate the web then we’re missing out on a world of knowledge and information.

Computers at home
The most popular use for home computers is simply to keep in contact with friends and family via e-mail and also via social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace, which enable us not only to keep in touch with current friends but also to also re-connect with old friends. Internet access also opens up a world of information to us, and is a vital study and knowledge resource. Another two very popular uses for a home computer is to watch online movies and listen to music. There are a great many ways to participate in these two activities. Sites such as Netflix and YouTube allow us to watch and stream videos and you can share and download music to keep your playlists bang up to date.
