Computers have had a great impact on society. Today computers are constantly becoming a part of everyday life. Computers are used in everything from the home PC or laptop to appliances such as microwaves and even our cars. Not only have computers had a great impact on our everyday life, but also on education and the workplace. Computers are used in our appliances, mobile phones, entertainment devices (such as DVD players) and others. The Internet has had a huge impact on society. It provides information and services, as well as the ability to communicate people all around the world in variety of ways. Around the world, the Internet is available to millions of people. Those who don’t have computer or access to the Internet at home will often have access at work or school, or even at the local library. Another added bonus of the Internet is that the majority of the information and services available are free.
The use of computers for educational purposes has been highly beneficial for those involved. News, assignments, tests, lecture notes can be placed on the Internet for students who live in remote areas and cannot travel to and from university or other tertiary institution each day.

THE INTERNET: HERE TO STAY
Most people today cannot imagine their life without the Internet. I believe it is one of the most important innovations. Thanks to the worldwide web, our lives have become easier and more exciting.
First of all, the Internet helps us find information easily. For example, we can read the news and find answers to the questions 24 hours a day.
In addition, we can use the Internet for entertainment. We can send e-mail to friends and shop online. We can even listen to the latest music and watch live sporting events from other parts of the world.
However, some people argue that the Internet has a negative effect on society. Internet users become less sociable. They stay at home most of the day instead of going out to shop, work and meet friends.
