Computer Now and Back Then

With computers now we can do many things with it. For example looking up dictionary, help with homework and connect with people. Computer has improved a lot in the past few years now the computer can do even more then it use to. When I asked my parents/guardians they told me that use to without computer life was all about working and helping out the house. There was no time to play or anything like now if you wanted to know about stuff you had to go to the library and such.
