Why being computer literate isn't such a bad idea after all!?

Technology is something that has been growing at a enormous rapid rate. Nearly 80% of all jobs available in 2016 involve the use of computers, and if you're one of the people who don't know how to manage a computer... my sincere apologies are directed to you.

According to the website small business, in which it is a website that talks about everything ranging from cars to politics. They mention "You will have a better chance of being successful in a workplace if you are able to navigate computers and use common or specialized computer programs (Latzko)." Personally, i can tell you that its 100% true, i've looked for jobs and one of the questions was "Can you use a computer", and the job i applied for heavily leaned on using a computer.

The next website I looked at was reference. I personally like reference because it gives me clear and straight forward answers. Everything that they said is true, and summed up they talked about the importance of computers in society. It helps you stay updated, gives you more job opportunities, and easy to communicate with people. They said "A person using a computer is likely to be more organized when compared with someone who does not use a computer".

Hopefully by now you have an idea of how important

computers in modern day society are, they are probably more important than actual manual labor. On this last source parentguide news talks about how you can achieve that computer literate level. They offer classes, or refer you to places where you can take classes and achieve much more.
