One day I was worried because I needed to buy materials for a project. I couldn't find these documents, so I decided to ask a friend. She turned on her computer and started looking for the materials I needed. In a few minutes she found all the materials and I saw that next to the photo there were two prices. My friend told me that the lowest price is when someone buys the things by computer and the highest price is from the store. I got everything I was looking for in a few minutes using the computer. This is one of the many benefits of using a computer. The advantages of using the computer are online banking, using the computer for research and online shopping. Firstly, the use of computer in online banking is very useful nowadays. For example, one of its advantages is unlimited service day and night. This is a good advantage because if a person needs a service during the night, they can use it without worrying if the service is open or not. As CIBC, an online company, says, you can check your balance whenever you want, not just when you get a statement (“The Benefits of Online Banking” 1). Secondly, it is a simple payment method accessible to everyone. A person does not need to wait until the day they have an appointment. “The person can leave any day and pay his debt” (Dulawat 1). Third, checking their account balance available 24 hours a day. For example, my mother checks her account some days in the morning, other days in the evening. If someone makes a payment with their debit card when they arrive home, they can check the balance and control what happens with the money (“CIBC” 1). There are many benefits of online banking, and one of them is really interesting. According to Dulawat: Higher interest rate. A...... middle of paper ......r balance, search for information or compare prices. I learned new things I could do using the computer that I didn't know before. In my opinion, there are more benefits than dangers when a person uses a computer. It all depends on how the person uses the computer.
