Business and Computers
1. Although computers have become necessary in the business world, computers have also become a "must" for certain individuals in their daily lives. 2.[I] With computers today, the things someone can do are unlimited. 3.[I] Desktop computers, meaning computers designed mostly for home use, are getting more powerful than ever as the days go on. 4.[I] Like in the business world, the Internet is rising and getting more and more popular; therefore, all sorts of "virtual companies" have come out on the internet and once again, prove to only be the beginning. 5.[TR] Although this report examines the effect of computers on the business world and on people’s daily lives, it is important to know when and where they come from. 6.[TH] Therefore, the report covers two main topics: the business world and computers, and why we use computers.

Who hasn't heard of IBM? 9.[P] This is the fifth largest industrial corporation in America and the world's biggest computer manufacturer. 10.[S] To a large degree, IBM is the computer industry, and almost every other computer company in the world swims in its ocean. 11.[SS] IBM commands about 40 percent of the international computer market, producing approximately three fourths of all medium and large-size computers and one fourth of all personal computers. 12.[SSS] With the invention of "intelligent" computers, IBM was about to enter an era of success that has not stopped since. 13.[P] This is not a secret that businesses now depend on computers, as well as any large organization that wants to keep their "edge" in today's world has to have a computer system. 14.[S] Businesses usually keep a list of all their employees and clients on huge databases, every report, note, memo or anything else that is of importance is stored on computers. 15.[SS] Governments use very expansive IBM mainframes to keep extraordinary databases of all the population.
