Student Use of Computers

Short Paragraph

Student Use of Computers

Computers are excellent machines to help students. Before computers, students had to do their schoolwork on typewriters. Typewriters did not allow students to make major changes easily, so they had to use special correction fluid to fix mistakes. Today computers let student move information around without retyping it and correct errors with little effort. Computers also make research more convenient for students. For instance, before computers, students had to go to the library. Many times, they would read for four or five hours in several sources before finding useful information. However, students can now use the Internet from their home to obtain the information that they need much more quickly. Some computer are very expensive. My friend bought a computer that cost almost three thousand dollars. Computers have certainly made students' lives easier.
