Mastering Computer Skills
Mastering Computer Skills

What is the one skill that everybody uses but only a few have mastered? Give up, its computer skills. We all need computer skills because technology is changing everyday. I chose this skill because everything is based around computers these days, and mastering this skill can open many doors of opportunity for anyone. I think that computer skills are one of the most important skills one can have today. What if you get a job that may require you to upload and transfer information quickly by using different programs? Computers are wonderful things these days they can store tons of information and all kinds of important documents. Take a couple of minutes to look around, and see how many things are computerized. Sometimes people take some of these things for granted. Like for instance, a digital camera. I believe you can take pictures on it, and then download them on the computer. Wouldn't you have to have some kind of computer knowledge to do this? Most careers require some kind of computer skills, the more computer skills we have there's a better chance for us to advance in the career that we choose.
Some of us may understand a little about word processor or maybe even about PowerPoint but do we know enough to get a job doing these skills. Word processor is the most basic of all skills. Word Processor involves typing basically, but when using computers it deviates a little from the common typewriter. There is the enter key replacing the career movement and there are commands (simple ones) for paragraph, indent, spacing and so on. The best of word processing is that it modifies with ease any part of the text that is entered. The word processing is the minimum one should know because it will be used in almost every application of computers. PowerPoint is also a good program to know how to use. We can use this program to help make a presentation. This is a good stepping-stone to help someone advance in a career. With this program

    In Tugend). The early 1980’s saw both an economic recession and the growth of computer-based technology, which meant an increase in the need for computer skills on the job before there were college courses available for this same skill set. My experience has shown that the need for computer skills and the ability to obtain these skills outside of a college atmosphere still holds true. However, learning-as-you-go often also leaves out important base principals that would have been taught in a classroom setting.…
