Architecture interior design and landscape architecture animation. were designed in mobile designs, photography, filmmaking, audio and video. Health services. Computers in hospitals are used by doctors to store medical data, patients records, research materials and other information effectively diagnose and treat patients. Online health information and consultations are now available on the Internet. sharing a valuable experience and expertise helps treat patients with wear and serious diseases faster. Computers in operating rooms assist doctors perform microsurgery with accuracy and better chances of success. Computers are also used in hospitals to monitor the patient's condition. These computers send out alarm signals whenever the patients condition becomes critical. So doctors and nurses can attend to them immediately. Science and research. Modern laboratories have computers used by chemists to invent materials, medicine and products to improve life. This assists look for a new renewable safe and affordable power sources using computers. Travel and hotel bookings. Computers and airports are used by air traffic controllers to control and schedule takeoff and landing of planes to ensure safety. Travel routes and maps can be downloaded to your computers or paint maps to ensure you will travel faster and not get lost on your trip. Airline players and tickets are now paid online. Hotel and housing are also reserved using the Internet and even ship travels are also booked online. Computers on airplanes help both military and commercial pilots to fly and land their airplanes safely and efficiently. Business and accounting.

Computers and groceries are used by cashiers to store prices of goods determined inventory of goods and located goods in the store. Call centers use computers to record receive or transmitted large volume of requests by telephone to administer incoming product support or information inquiries from consumers and telemarketing. Accountants use computers to know the financial status of the business. Accounting process is done using computers like preparation of financial reports in the fast and accurate manner. Manufacturing industries. Automobiles on other vehicles are manufactured using computer aided machineries and robots. This is called computer aided manufacturing, CAM. CAM is a programming tool that helps reduce better products faster and cheaper, with precision and accuracy. Computers in industry are also used to design new and better machines, test them in the computer before they are manufactured. Banking. Almost all of our financial transactions are done by computer software. They provide ease, security, speed and convenience. Banks usually provide remote services to their clients by installing automated teller machines or APM. These are controlled by a network of computers. Mathematics. Computerized calculations in the creation of buildings, machines, riches, airplane and radio communications. Software can help simulate data and demonstrate it using statistical graphs like a bar chart, table or diagram mode. Engineering and architecture. Architects design houses buildings and breaches using computer aided design, or CAD programs which is a lot easier and presentable. Civil engineers use computers to calculate the strength of footing and foundations of a building. Electrical engineers design and determine electrical power requirements for buildings and houses. Mechanical engineers use computer in their work, the design and build machineries and vehicles such as cars, boats and airplanes with better aesthetics, accuracy and safety. Agriculture. Computers are used in research monitoring to improve agriculture, crop and animal production care and management. Computers are also used for food processing and packaging. Writing and publishing. Print publishing such as books newspapers and magazines are designed and prepared using powerful desktop computers, using drawing, photo editing and layout programs. Videos are edited in powerful and faster computers, since videos have higher memory requirements. Video editing programs together with other programs used in print publishing may be employed together to craft and finish a movie.

Military applications. Computers are used to guide weapons systems from any source and pinpoint targets with precision and accuracy. Computers onboard mechanical vehicles are used to locate and diffuse bombs. Computers also process value building permission for intelligence, especially impending terrorist attacks. Weather analysis. There are super supercomputers used to analyze and predict the weather of the day. Data gathered from weather satellites with the calculated by these computers, if the wind direction and velocity, volume of rainfall and other important weather information. Space exploration. Computers are likely to use a control stations for the spacecraft and satellite on mission. Computers onboard spacecrafts are equipped with camera, video and other sensors that send vital data back to Earth. Aeronautics. Pilots are trained using software which simulate flying. Lights in relations are safe and cost effective means of training future pilots without the rest of a real airplane crash. Social media. Social media is a collection of Internet based communication goals and computers as the channels dedicated to allow users to interact, to mitigate and share information in a virtual community in network. 1.
