If my memory does not fail me, over 60 percent of Americans have computers at mom and virtually 100 percent of companies in the USA make use of computers and the information technology. Computers are used to eliminate the paperwork, conduct sophisticated calculations and simulations. Also a great number of companies use computers and proper software to keep track of inventory (KIT delivery made it possibly to have zero inventory), engage in efficiency improvement through total quality management, let alone perfectly coordinate numerous departments and corporate branches across the globe with Just a few clicks of a computer mouse.
As one can understand, computers is a part of modern business and since business Is a part of the modern society and American culture, computers represent an Indispensable part of the modern society. The second reason why I would pick a personal computer Is because It Is something one would not even think of 100 years ago. Although, the ideas to create machines that would do some calculations existed for several hundred years, it is only in the late sass that some reasonable computing machine was developed.It took another 15 years to create useful and elatedly small PC's to be used at homes and to be cheap enough to be bought by the general public. The new machine is extremely compact, yet it can do probably more in a few seconds than all the available computing machines that existed in the world society 100 years ago. Since, computers were not known hundred years ago, while they are everywhere In the modern world, they can't be omitted if one was to explain the modern culture to the person from 100-years-ago society regardless of the country or culture.
The third reason why personal computer would make a good pick or representing my modern culture to someone from 100 years ago Is because It opens up a new vision and the new world. Nowadays, computers certainly occupy a larger part of a person's life. Computers at the same time are a habit of most of the modern societies. Computers are used not only for making calculations as one thought of them 100 years ago, but also for other things.
For instance, computers almost completely replaced the typing machines. Computers are also used for playing media be it music or video.Computers nowadays provide a wonderful entertainment and utility for people by allowing PC users to play games, learn new languages, shop, communicate with each other and Just spend their time. In conclusion, I would Like to say that personal computer would be the very item I would take with me to explain the modern culture to the person from 100 years ago. Computer Is an Indispensable part of the modern business and social life.
Computers provide virtually all sorts of entertainment possible and thus gained a decent place in the modern society.
