They have become commonplace in homes, offices, schools, research institutes, plants. Young people who have grown up with PCs and mobile phones are often called the digital generation.

They are used to access the Internet, to do basic research and to communicate with other students around the world. Teachers use projectors and interactive whiteboards to give presentations and teach sciences, history or language courses. PCs are also used for administrative purposes – schools use word processors to write letters, and databases to keep records of students and teachers. A school website allows teachers to publish exercises for students to complete online. Students can also enrol for courses via the website and parents can download official reports.

3. Mobiles let you make voice calls, send texts, email people and download logos, ringtones or games. With a built-in camera you can send pictures and make video calls in face-to-face mode. New smartphones combine a telephone with web access, video, a games console, an MP3 player, a personal digital assistant (PDA) and a GPS navigation system, all in one.

4. In banks, computers store information about the money held by each customer and enable staff to access large databases and to carry out financial transactions at high speed.
