作文范文:Computers and Students
As China speeds the construction of the electronic information industry, computers begin to be widely used in all walks of life. Many important infrastructures across the country, such as communication networks, banking systems, and the airline and railway networks, have been or are being computerized. Because of their magical capabilities, their fantastic speed in data processing, and the unbelievable convenience they can bring to office work and research projects, computers are now quickly becoming the most helpful "assistants" in almost all areas of work and researches.
Students at college and universities can benefit greatly from the utilization of computers. Libraries on campuses, for example, are often which store information about different categories of reference books. Students who are interested in a certain research topic can use the library computers to search for relevant books and articles on that topic. Students who are familiar with word-processing programs, such as WPS and Windows, can write their term papers on computer screens. A terrific advantage word processors have over typewriters is that students can revise and edit their articles on the screen before having them printed out, which saves much trouble and time.
The twenty-first century will soon be welcomed as an information era in which computers play vital roles. University students, in order to take up the challenges of the new era, should, therefore, learn how to use computers to do various work.
