Effects of computers on society :: Computer Science

Effects of computers on societyInternetThe profit was a major break-through in computing. It enabled peopleto communicate and transfer information. The meshwork has been aroundfor about 30 years and is always changing. It has m some(prenominal) various uses.It end be used for video and teleconferencing, finding information,buying products, downloading programmes and medication and much more.
