SINCE the competition is increasing day by day, students need to develop their qualifications. Skills in using computer is a must in order to survive better in today's world.
Students need to learn how to be self-reliant in using computers. So, they should know how to compose in word, how to work in excel, how to customise a photo in adobe photoshop, how to compile a report with the help of computer. In addition, if they can learn other aspects of using computer, that will add to their qualifications.
Even in the best business schools of USA, MBA students these days are taught the use of technology. Why not us to learn the basics of computer which will be integral part of us in the working life?
Computer is not a difficult thing. The more you keep yourself away from it, the more you might feel panicked about computer. The more you use it, the more comfortable and bold you will be about learning more about it. Your life will be handicapped without the use of computer.
These days we take huge help of Internet in order to enrich our knowledge on different subjects. It has been mandatory for students to learn for themselves how to browse Internet and collect information in order to satisfy their thirst for knowledge on different subjects and issues of interest.
Urban students have many advantages in terms of acquiring computer skills. Many of them have computers at home. Those who do not have computers at home can use computer at schools or can go to nearby computer firms in order to develop their necessary computer skills.
The rural students are in a disadvantageous position with regard to having access to computers. Very few students in the rural areas have their own computer at home. In many cases, high schools have only one computer for hundreds of students. Students get very little opportunity to learn computer.
It is a good news for the students that big giants like Intel will assist educational institutes in having computers in the coming days. This will indeed create a more congenial atmosphere for the students' development of computer skills.
Learning different aspects of computers during student life is very helpful since whatever someone learns at young age remains embedded in the brain. Student life is the best period of life for learning anything, since students learn things in group and their enthusiasm level remain very high.
