Computer literacy means the knowledge of using modern digital devices, software and tools which have been used in daily life for different tasks. Computer literacy plays a very important role for success in today’s world because it has made our tasks very easy and time effective in almost every field of daily life.

Application and importance of computer education in some areas of our daily life is given below:

Book a ticket for train or aeroplane

We don’t have to rush to the railway station or airport desks for ticket booking. This facility is available for us on websites as online booking, or on our smart phones through their respective apps. We can book cancel or even make alterations in our booking details with our finger tips

Online shopping

Feeling reluctant to go for shopping in the market due to pandemic? No worries, computer knowledge has made it possible for us to do shopping by staying at home through online shopping. We can purchase anything online we need. Just imagine we can buy things like clothes, food, grocery, furniture, home appliances, electronic devices, jewellery, cosmetics and many other countless stuff of any brand by sitting on our comfortable chair with the knowledge of computer and internet.

 

For storage of books and other educational material

It needs a large shelf or may be a library to keep books. But we can store hundreds of books in computer. 

                                              

It has become quite easier to store a lot of notes, assignments lectures and other helping educational materials on computers, which are easy and simple to search and access as well. But definitely we need to have basic computer knowledge for all of above tasks

In schools, college and universities

When computers were not there it required a bundle of registers and human resources to keep all the record of students and other staff. But computer education has brought a revolution in terms of easiness and time effectiveness. These days the record of all of the student’s attendance, educational progress, dues etc which comprises on years, can be kept on a single computer. The software used for these purposes are called database. Now students and parents are able to track their progress with the help of computers
