There are a lot of computer uses. People use computers in many ways. These devices are multi-purpose tools and many of us can’t imagine live without them. I’m the one of them. Mostly I use my computer in my free time for entertainment and communication and sometimes in my study.

I’ve chosen to study informatics and that’s why computer is necessary for me. Although I have already started my studies but I can’t say that I used my PC a lot. FFirst of all I’ll need it to program. I know that we will learn such programming languages as C++, Fortran and others. For those who have not computer at home is impossible to become good specialists of informatics. Also I use computer for solving various mathematical tasks. It is quite useful in solving very difficult propositions. For these purposes are used special mathematic programs such as Maple, Mathcad. I must say I need computer to make assignments of maths, english, aand other subjects. Furthermore I work with application programs. For example I use word processor to write papers and essays, I make presentations using special programs. Computer also is needed for me to find the information I need. For this ppurposes I use the internet, CD encyclopedias. I have some dictionaries which I use for translating words and studying English.

But I use computer not only in my study but also for entertainment. I am keen on browsing humor websites. Browsing the internet I find much information about things that interest me. Although I don’t like playing games there are some small brain-teaser games which I play sometimes. Chatting on IRC is very practical. I chat with my friends without spending much money, because I don’t have to call them. Moreover I am trying to work with media editing programs for photos and videos, but I do it very rarely.

So as you can see computer has become quite essential part of mmy life. I can use it in many ways. And all in all I must say that this multi-purpose tool has even a little bit changed my life, but it is very useful.
