Why are computers important?

Computers are now a part of everyone's existence, including work, school, learning and play. Many modern activities, such as social media, information sharing and business applications require computers, and people cannot complete these actions without one.

The infiltration of computers into modern society means that computer literacy is of critical importance. Schools require computer classes as early as kindergarten to ensure computer literacy at a young age. Many schools are using technology in the classroom, and students need computer access to complete assignments. Home school programs are mostly computer-based and most programs provide computers for students to complete the curriculum.
