Applications Of Computer

INTRODUCTION:- Computers play a role in every field of life. They are used in homes, business,
educational institutions, research organizations, medical field, government offices, entertainment,
etc. The first electronic computer systems were used to perform difficult numerical calculations.
Gradually they have come to take on more complicated and much wider roles. They now perform a
diverse array of functions and services, and play an important and major role in most individual’s
professional and personal lives.

1. Home :- Computers are used at homes for several purposes like online bill payment, watching
movies or shows at home, home tutoring, social media access, playing games, internet access, etc.
They provide communication through electronic mail. Computers help the student community to
avail online educational support.
2. Medical Field:-Computers are used in hospitals to maintain a database of patients’ history,
diagnosis, X-rays, live monitoring of patients, etc. Surgeons nowadays use robotic surgical
devices to perform delicate operations, and conduct surgeries remotely. Virtual reality
technologies are also used for training purposes. It also helps to monitor the fetus inside
the mother’s womb.
3. For Scientific Research:- Computer was first used to perform Scientific Research job. Scientists have
been using computers to develop theories to analyze, and test the data. The accuracy and speed of
computer enabled scientific analysis carried out too fast at that time to now. Computer controlled
robots must be used in all those fields which are dangerous to human lives like in deep sea
investigation and nuclear research etc. Computer systems also play an important role in
maintaining, controlling, and launching space craft, as well as operating other advanced
technology.
 4. For Education :- We can also use your computers/ PCs for educating ourself through images,
videos audio, etc. There are hundreds and thousands of sites available over Internet nowadays
which are ready for delivering education for free in almost each subject. We can pick whether we
want to learn offline or online. We can open any site to read your desired topics in online learning
while we can learn through videos in offline learning, photos, PDFs etc., all these documents can be
downloaded through world wide web or internet.
5. For Entertainment :- Many individuals are using computer system for entertainment purposes
such as:
 animations
 Photos
 Listening songs
 Watching videos
 Watching movies etc.
Applications of Computer for Entertainment as creating these things in an attractive manner so that the
customer loves to enjoy these things.
6. In Banks:- Banks are the institutions where there is continuous use of computer systems and PCs.
Therefore, we can surely say that the banks are the major users of computers. For example,
Automated teller machine, or ATM in short, can be used for either depositing or withdrawing our
cash in/from our Bank. All data and information like interest, withdrawal, deposits, and account
holder details, etc. are managed by computers in banks. All of the branches of the banks are
interconnected using network of computers so that their customers feel always free to deposit his
or her money and cash in any branch of the same bank all over the nation.

7. For Communication:- Conveying a message, an idea, a picture or speech which is understood and
received correctly and clearly by the individual for whom it is meant for, is known as
communication. Some major areas in this category are: Telnet, videoconferencing, FTP, Usenet,
Email messages, and chatting. Using your computer systems or PCs for the sole purpose of
communication provides a lot of advantages and benefits.
8. For Book Publishing:-Book publishing has also become an easy task with the use of computer
systems. Book publishers are now using software such as MS-Word- DTP (Desktop publishing) for
publishing their books.

9. Industry:- Computers are used to perform several tasks in industries like managing inventory,
designing purpose, creating virtual sample products, interior designing, video conferencing, etc.
Online marketing has seen a great revolution in its ability to sell various products to inaccessible
corners like interior or rural areas. Stock markets have seen phenomenal participation from
different levels of people through the use of computers

10. For Engineering Purposes:- Computer are also using for the purpose of Engineering, that is, to
design any machine without actually making it through CAD (Computer aided design) softwares
and once the design is accepted, and then using CAM (Computer aided manufacturing) process
company can produce a large number of such products at very fast speed. Architects are also using
computers to draw and design individual houses to big buildings like Apartments. There are a lot
more uses of computer for engineering purposes.
 11. For Games:- Now-a-days, peoples are using computers most of the time to play games. For online
games to play, you must have the internet connectivity whereas for offline games, you can start
without any internet connectivity. There are a variety of games available in computer world. Here
are some of the category available in the game field:
 action
 racing
 adventurous
 puzzle
 simulations
 combat etc.
Peoples are playing (mostly today's or new generation childs) games on computer for few to many
hours. Some popular games are listed here:
 Minecraft
 Counter Strike
 PubG
 WoW
 Grand Theft Auto
 Skyrim
 Angry Bird
 Call of Duty
 Halo
 Pokemon
 Super Mario Bros etc.
12. For Accounting Purposes:- Computers are highly used for accounting purposes to handle
company financial accounts and inventory management using some accounting software like Tally.
With the use of computer the task of maintaining accounts become very easy. Later you can also
retrieve the data on the basis of various pattern or requirement very easily.
13. Transport:-Boats, planes, trains, and road vehicles are increasingly automated with computer
systems and they are being used for maintaining navigation systems and safety, and increasingly to
steer, fly, or drive. They can also be used in highlighting issues and problems that require attention,
such as a failing mechanical part, oil changes, low level fuels. Applications of Computer can be used
for customizing settings for people, for example, air-conditioning temperatures and seat setup.
14. Navigation:-Since computer technology has been combined with GPS technology, navigation has
become increasingly computerized. Computer systems combined with satellites mean that it is now
extremely easy for pinpointing your exact location, have a good idea of amenities and places of
interest around you and know which way that you are moving on a map.
15. Security And Surveillance:- Computer systems are increasingly being combined with other
technologies for monitoring individuals and goods. Computer systems combined with biometric
passports make it harder and difficult for individuals for fraudulently entering a country or gaining
access to a passenger airplane. Face-recognition technology makes it easier for identifying
criminals or terrorists in public places. Driver plates can also be easily auto-scanned by police cars
or speed cameras. Private security systems have also become much more advanced and
sophisticated with the introduction of internet technology and computer technology.
16. Weather Forecasting:- The world’s weather depends upon a multitude of factors which are
changing constantly and is complex. It is really impossible for human beings for monitoring and
processing all the data and the information coming in from satellite and other technologies, never
mind performing the complex calculations which are needed to predict what is likely to happen in
the future scenario. Computer systems can also process the large amounts of meteorological data
and information.
