 Importance of Computing 

Fast and Easy Learning

Computers have a big role in the learning process in education. Students can easily comprehend what they are being taught with the help of the computer,  through videos that show what they are being taught and with other resources made available from using the computer. For instance, computer animations and graphics can be used to understand how the earth moves and the phenomenon of the solar and lunar eclipse. 

Online classes and lectures are made possible with the help of the computer, you can easily get the education without having to be within the four walls of a school in the office or business. It makes filing and keeping database and tracking records fast. Account keeping and record keeping is now much easier and less stressful than it used to be in time past. The use of the computer eliminates the abuse of workload while increasing the effectiveness of trade and industry. A computer makes processes very easy in the business sector. 

Quick and Cashless Bank Transactions

Online banking is another way that computer helps in banking,  you can retrieve all your previous transaction records within a minute, transfer and receive money from your home, school or office with the click of few buttons. Gone are the days that you have to stand on queues just to send or transfer money.

A computer makes banking easy,  fast and stress-free. The use of computers also save the banks much money,  they can make use of customized software programming that eliminates paper check transfers. You do not have to carry lots of cash around as there are bank terminals in supermarkets, factories,  schools, hotels,  eateries and many more places. Salaries of employees can easily be paid more safely and faster by just imputing employees’ account numbers. The use of the computer reduces frauds in banking.

Assistance to the Disabled

The computer also helps those who are disabled. Microprocessor based voice system help people with disabilities speaking with terminals that directs the computer to a verbal job, helps the deaf to communicate and the blind to see either with the use of the keyboard or the help of speech synthesizers.  The computer makes the disabled to be more active, performing the task that they could not before.

Importance of Computer Network

The importance of the computer network is as follows −

To share computer files −Networks enable users to share files with others. For instance, in an organization, one file is to be shared by multiple branches. When it can locate these records on the network system, some branches can use this file.

To share computer equipment − Laser printers and large hard-disk drives can be expensive. Networks allows users to share such equipment by networking microcomputers or workstations together.

To enable computer equipment to communicate − An organization with computers of multiple uses using several operating systems, including MS-DOS, UNIX, WINDOWS 95, and Apple DOS, cannot share files from one computer to another unless arranged using a Networking operating framework such as Network 4.1 or Windows NT 4.0.

To improve communication speed and accuracy − Sending messages through networks are virtually instantaneous, and there is also less chance of a message being lost.

To reduce the cost of data transfer − The cost of transfers of files using computers associated with networks is less expensive than other traditional means like telegrams.

High Reliability − All files can be regenerated on some devices, and thus if one of them is unavailable (because of hardware failure), the different copies can be used.

Saving Money − One of the advantages of a computer network is saving money. Small computers have a much better cost proportion than larger ones. Mainframes are suitably a method ten times faster than the fastest single-chip microprocessors, but they cost a multiple times more.
