Technology How has technology changed? It has changed drastically since I was a child. I am talking about computers mainly. The first computer that my family bought was an IBM P/S 1. It was about nine years ago, the price was over two thousand dollars.
Today you can buy a good p.c. for well under one thousand. The price of pc s dropped as the technology grew. Also a new p.
c. entered, it is the laptop. A miniature p.c.
with the same capabilities. If you need help on any thing you can buy a new software program for about twenty bucks. You can get help on any thing from medical problems to taxes. Floppy disks were replaced by 3 1/2 disks, now compact disks have replaced them. Now a new p.c.
is outdated within 6 months of its production. Computers, how they have changed schools. Schools all over the country have computers. Schools use computers for grades, attendance, class schedules, etc. Students use computers that the school has connected to the internet to get information for reports.
Some schools have electronic libraries that you can access through computers. Computers are used to teach classes now from anywhere as long as you are connected to the internet. You can take college classes from your home. In high school, there are computer labs that you can use to type a report.
There are classes that you take on computers. Like me, I am taking Microworks. It is a class that teaches you how to use Windows 95. I use Windows 98 on my computer.
I already know how to use 95 and am learning how to use 98 at home. But I am learning a few things about 95 that I did not know. After you are finished writing a story. You go to the computer lab to type it.
Last year for english i spent one to two days there every two weeks. In college it is recommended that you have. A computer with a word processor in it. So I would say that computers have definitely changed school, and the way we learn.
Work, computers also have changed the way we work, and the work that we do. At factories, Navistar for example uses computers. They build trucks, like the big semi s. They use them for running the line that the trucks move on while workers add parts.machine, robots
