If we know something that we want, the first thing we should do is to connect to the Internet.
Use the word processor.

Storing the information
Computers have huge memory space in which we can store all the personal and business-related information we can access whenever we need.
We can also store our passwords using a google account that is secured, and we won't forget them.
We can also link our computer to our smartphone and then use WhatsApp etc., from the computer.
Users can back up important information on the computer's hard drive. Computers can fail from time to time. It is important to back up your data externally, using a flash drive, CD/DVDs, or the Cloud.
Improve our knowledge
With a computer, we can learn new things and expand our knowledge with the help of applications within the systems.
Users can also do research-related work by using the computer to gain knowledge and store the findings from the researchers.
Listen to music and Internet Radio.
We can listen to music by inserting CDs or DVDs into the computer's CPU. We can also enjoy online music by connecting to the network.
We can also access the huge number of songs that are present on online radio stations.
Creating the animations
Using paint, we can create cartoon characters on the computer, and when the required software is installed, we can also create new carton movies.
Using computers, we can also build new art according to our creativity.
Retrieve information using browsers
Users can use browsers such as google chrome, Microsoft edge, and Mozilla Firefox to know and retrieve the data they want.
Read and send emails.
We can compose emails and send them to friends and officers according to our requirements.
Computer-generated emails are used widely to exchange information instead of using letters. These emails are secured and confidential.
View, edit, and print photos.
We can send photos from your digital camera or from phone to your PC. View and organize them in a specific folder. We can create the albums, folders that we can share with our friends and family.
Shop online and see the product reviews.
Using the computer, we can visit the web site of the companies that make online sales, from there we can buy the required products. Even the users are able to view the reviews of the products to check the quality and efficiency of the items.
Online ticket booking.
The computers help in booking the tickets online through online transactions. These tickets can include wide range of fields like booking tickets for movies, shows, doctor appointments.
We can also know the movie reviews.
Download sound files
Many songs we hear are present on the Internet in the Mp3 file. We can download these sound files from the Internet from various websites, which are often open source.
But users have to pay attention to if the song is present in the public domain, then only the songs are free, but if the other sites also have the song downloading, it might be illegal.
We can also copy the songs from our CD and create MP3 files. When the songs are copied into the computer, the user can hear the songs at any time without inserting the CD into the computer.
Online banking
We can use computers by connecting them to the network to do our banking transactions from our homes without physically visiting the bank. The above method saves time and is maintained confidentially without cyber-attacks.
We have to open the web page of our registered bank and then go through the process we are supposed to do to make our transactions.
Operating the appliances using the computer
When we install the required software in the computer that is compatible with the appliances, we can control them from our PCs.
For example, we can also operate the computers' modern air conditioners(ACs), fans, and lights.
