Computers: Past, Present, and Future
Computers have been around for years and help a great deal at home and in
the workplace. I have owned a computer for about three years now and it has been
very helpful when it comes to projects and type-written essays. I have completed

for and the computer will find it for you.

all the cashier calculations. Computers are beginning to take over the workplace
