The greater availability of low-cost pcs will change the way computers are used in school for one simple reason.  They will be widely used in schools.  It is amazing that basic computer skills are still not taught in most american schools, but it is also try throughout the world.  Some guy at MIT is on the verge of mass producing a laptop that will cost about $100 per unit and will be distributed worldwide to schools.  This will allow people in the poorest areas of the world to have access to encyclopedia and other reference books that would otherwise never be available to them.  These machines will also be distinctively designed so as to reduce their value on the black market, because people will know they were stolen from school children.  The quality of education will increase dramatically and all of society will benefit as a result.

A computer is a device or machine for making calculations or controlling operations that are expressible in numerical or logical terms. Computers are made from components that perform simple well-defined functions. The complex interactions of these components endow computers with the ability to process information. If correctly configured (usually by programming) a computer can be made to represent some aspect of a problem or part of a system. ...

I think math is a convenient tool that can be used to facilitate operations in many other fields.\n\nIn computer science's programming, boolean algebra is used widely for logical operations. At the low machine level, native operations such as OR, XOR, NOT, etc are used to manipulate bits of information. At the high level, numerical analysis can be used to solve complex problems. Databases can use statistical methods to perform analysis.\n\nMath is an idealized (perfect) model that is coherent within itself. Hence it provides a very reliable framework for representation and modeling. Of course, the interpretation of the numbers is left to the more intelligent humans.\n\nComputer Science uses some aspects of Math. Math has alot more to offer.

Do you mean what is the role of the computer in the manufacturing sector?  The computer has been integrated into all aspects of manufactruing, from process control and inventory management, to computer aided design for the creation of product and processing equipment.  There is still a level of manual labor in manufacturing which does not require use of the computer.  Minimum wagers doing soldering, placing electronic components, and mechanical assemlbers do not usually have know much about computers.  If they use them, they use bar-code scanners and automated systems that are quite simple to use.\n\nIn a wider sense the computer is "data central" and should have replaced most of the paper record system in companies, while improving quality through the use of databases, etc.  Computers also have brought networking to the shop floor, and when used, all aspects of processing and process control can be remotely monitored.  \n\nComputer control has invaded much of the manufacturing process by adding numerical control to many processes and test equipment too.

pick a company - lets say a shoe store. use a paragraph telling what goes on in a shoe store - keeping an inventory -making sails - keeping books - paying staff etc. Then show how each of these activities could be improved by the use of a computer - speed - accuracy - ability to handle large amounts of data. Then finish it by talking about how a relational data base like Access would handle all of it.

electronic commerce \nElectronic commerce, e-commerce or ecommerce consists primarily of the distributing, buying, selling, marketing, and servicing of products or services over electronic systems such as the Internet and other computer networks. The information technology industry might see it as an electronic business application aimed at commercial transactions. It can involve electronic funds transfer, supply chain management, e-marketing, online marketing, online transaction processing, electronic data interchange, automated inventory management systems, and automated data-collection systems. It typically uses electronic communications technology such as the Internet, extranets, e-mail, Ebooks, databases, and mobile phones.\n\nAccording to Forrester Research (as cited in Kessler, 2003), electronic commerce generated sales worth US $12.2 billion in 2003.\n\n\nHistorical development\nThe meaning of the term "electronic commerce" has changed over time. Originally, "electronic commerce" meant the facilitation of commercial transactions electronically, usually using technology like Electronic Data Interchange (EDI, introduced in the late 1970s) to send commercial documents like purchase orders or invoices electronically.\n\nLater it came to include activities more precisely termed "Web commerce" -- the purchase of goods and services over the World Wide Web via secure servers (note HTTPS, a special server protocol which encrypts confidential ordering data for customer protection) with e-shopping carts and with electronic pay services, like credit card payment authorizations.\n\nWhen the Web first became well-known among the general public in 1994, many journalists and pundits forecast that e-commerce would soon become a major economic sector. However, it took about four years for security protocols like HTTPS to become sufficiently developed and widely deployed (during the browser wars of this period). Subsequently, between 1998 and 2000, a substantial number of businesses in the United States and Western Europe developed rudimentary Web sites.\n\nAlthough a large number of "pure e-commerce" companies disappeared during the dot-com collapse in 2000 and 2001, many "brick-and-mortar" retailers recognized that such companies had identified valuable niche markets and began to add e-commerce capabilities to their Web sites. For example, after the collapse of online grocer Webvan, two traditional supermarket chains, Albertsons and Safeway, both started e-commerce subsidiaries through which consumers could order groceries online.\n\nAs of 2005, e-commerce has become well-established in major cities across much of North America, Western Europe, and certain East Asian countries like South Korea. However, e-commerce is still emerging slowly in some industrialized countries, and is practically nonexistent in many Third World countries.\n\n\nSuccess factors in e-commerce\n\nTechnical & Organizational\nIn many cases, an e-commerce company will survive not only based on its product, but by having a well-organized business structure and a secure, well-designed website. Such factors include:\n\nProviding an easy and secure way for customers to order. Credit cards are the most popular means of sending payments on the internet, accounting for 90% of online purchases. Card numbers are transferred securely between the customer and merchant through independent payment gateways, such as authorize.net. \nProviding reliability and security. Parallel servers, hardware redundancy, fail-safe technology, information encryption, and firewalls can enhance this requirement. \nProviding a 360-degree view of the customer relationship, defined as ensuring that all employees, suppliers, and partners have a complete view, and the same view, of the customer. However, customers may not appreciate the big brother experience. \nConstructing a commercially sound business model. If this key success factor had appeared i

Most computers are an integral part of the products we use including consumer electronics, automobiles, home appliances, cell phones and all the industrial products that contain computers. But wherever there's a computer, you also have software programs that tell the computer what to do. Since the computers and their software are dedicated as part of the consumer or industrial product, engineers refer to those types of computer and software applications as being "embedded" as opposed to your  PC for example that uses general purpose software applications like Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, Apple Itunes etc in addition to the special purpose embedded software like device drivers.

Education software are programs that provide educational benefits to the user.  My children use programs that teach math skills or phonics skills and provide many examples of the subject area for repetitive learning.\n    There are also educational versions of software.  They usually come packaged with a book of the subject.  An example would be and educational version of VB that comes with VB handbook in college.  This software allows you to create programs, but will not allow you to make them executable outside the programming windows.\n   Other software helps to organize your educational needs.
