Why Computer Basics and Office Skills?

Computers help you work faster: As computers, software, and hardware improve, so do their capabilities. For example, someone with even a very basic understanding of a word processor is going to be able to work faster and enjoy writing more than someone who is typing on a typewriter.
Computers can answer almost any question: Understanding the computer, connecting to the Internet,
opening a browser, and using a search engine gives that person so much more power than someone who doesn’t know how to do these things.
Understanding computer terminology helps with other technology.
Computers and robots are replacing jobs: More and more computers are assisting or replacing jobs that have been done in the past by humans.
