With these steps, one should be able to clearly see how computers can help you in a day to day situations not only involving aiding business processes but also anywhere else you would be using computers.

A wonderful thing about a book, in contrast to a computer screen, is that you can take it to bed with you. - Daniel J. Boorstin
Computers are one of the most useful and versatile tools that humans have available today. They are capable of performing great acts of computation, they allow information to be exchanged easily no matter where you are in the world, they simplify many every-day tasks, and they allow us to automate many processes that would be repetitive or boring to perform otherwise.
Using Collaborative Software for Team Writing
Working as a team. Typically, I believe that there will be at least one class in a semester that will have a group project. With today's technology, getting in contact with each other is easy. With programs such as Skype, Msn, Facebook or Sheridan's own Slate. Communication can be transferred among team members at any time the team decides. Team members can send each other their work though e-mail and then talk about it in Skype regardless of where each group[p member is located. I've done this a few times in the past as our group did not have time to meet up. Where would we be without video communication?

Designing and Producing Professional Looking Documents, Presenations and Web Pages
Most software available contains techniques available to aid you in constructing professional looking documents. You are able to change things like your font to different styles and sizes. You can use italics, boldface, and symbols. You can use these techniques to keep a consistent flowing document.
When you use presentation software you can incorporate things like showy side effects, colour, sound, pictures, and even movies and short video's.
Web design programs can help you design a personal or business website, and is a great alternative to standard methods of presentation.
Microsoft Word and Microsoft Office are the most common but it is not the only way to have something written electronically. You could easily start typing with a smartphone today. In the past i personally would log in to my e-mail account and start off my reports or essays there. It's easy and there is also spell check. When I get home, I could just copy and paste my work on to Microsoft and print it. It can be quite useful if you have no computer or laptop while on vacation. Imagine today, if we only had typewriters to use. How can we get any work done on the first try?
