A computer is an information-processing machine that works by converting all kinds of information into binary numbers (ones and zeros) and then using simple mathematics to make decisions about, or to rearrange, those numbers. There are two things essential to understanding the basics of how a computer works. One is that a computer treats any type of information (not only numbers but also letters, words, dates, and so on) as if it consisted simply of binary ones and zeros. For example, a computer can translate the letter “A” typed into its keyboard into a string of ones and zeros, such as 1000001. One reason to do this is that once in binary form, the information can be stored and moved about more easily.

Computers, like several other everyday items, was originally developed as a "tool".  Some of the first applications developed for the PC were word processors and spreadsheets, meant to take the place of typewriters and updating calculations on a chalkboard.\n\nBecause computers were able to perform many calculations with exceptional accuracy and speed compared to a human being, they were good for balancing checkbooks, amortizing loans, as well as keeping records of assets.\n\nAside from being a tool for calculations, the computer nowadays is used as a vehicle for entertainment purposes (such as games, music and videos) as well as advertising (banner ads on Web sites or Adware).\n\nWith the advent of the internet, computers helped people communicate with one another; both person to person as well as many people to communicate at once either through Web forums or in real-time such as Internet Relay Chat.\n\nDue to many of the innovations to which computers had been adapted, computers also helped provide a market for people to build, support, program and use them in their everyday lives.

For disposal of hazardous waste, many cities and municipalities have hazardous waste collection sites or special days set aside for collection of such items. Check with your city or county Solid Waste Dept. or Environmental Quality or Environmental Protection agency for information. If you have a computer that is still functional, consider donating it to a school or nonprofit organization in need. Also, a nonprofit computer recycling organization called Computer Recycling Center may be helpful (see sources). For ideas on how to recycle items from cell phones to used tires, or how to stay ahead of the game and REDUCE consumption of products (for example, use canvas bags instead of plastic or paper; stop junk mail), see the following sources. Did you know, for example, that 4 to 5 trillion plastic bags are manufactured each year, and that the majority of them are NOT recycled? If we reduce consumption (by using canvas bags, for example), we work toward making our earth cleaner and healthier.

Benefits are numerous. Computers enable us to make life easy by increasing the efficiency of offices, schools and persons. Science and Arts can make great progress with the help of computers. And we enjoy the fruits of them. Instant communication bridges the gap between people - relatives, friends and enemies, as well as researchers and thinkers.\n\nHowever, computers are not without their drawbacks. They can create an illusion of the world which may be different from reality. Many become so dependent on computers that they feel helpless without. Also, you can get ache, cramps, blood clots and impaired vision from excessive use of computer. Without going outdoors or using cars, together with physical inactivity can even kill a person.
