Computers Are Everywhere!
Whether you like it or not, computers are here to stay and they’re popping up in some very unusual places. From managing your refrigerator, to restoring eye-sight, computers are enhancing just about everything we do. In fact, computers have become an integral part of many of our daily activities, like driving, listening to music, talking on the phone, watching a movie, or taking a picture.
