Computers are all around us and can be considered a wonder of the world. Thanks to the computers, we drive computerized cars, receive letters sent by computers, astronauts can go to the space and return safely. Thus, the computer has significantly changed our world through advances in science and medicine, business and education.

First off, computers have contributed to the advances in science and medicine. In the sixties the U. S landed men on the moon because of computers. For example remember the first men that walk in the moon surface Neil Armstrong. We couldn't have gotten there without computers in the equipment and guiding systems. Also doctors use computers to treat patients. For example CAT scans and MRI's find diseases such as brain tumors.

On the word processor students can do their homework and check their grammar and spelling. In the library, students search for any written material on computers and complete projects. Also teachers use computers programs to grade papers and calculate students GPA faster. Thus, both students and teachers have to rely on computers to enhance learning in ways not possible years ago.
In conclusion, computers have made life better for us in science and medicine, business and education. In each field computers makes common place what seemed impossible years before. Computer technology it's a wonder invention that enhances our daily lives with conveniences we rely on. But, each advance expands our perception of what is possible.
