The importance of having a computer in college

posted on 17 April 2011 | posted in Technology


When I was in high school, my computer did not have much to do with academic programs. I remember the only thing that made me install the Microsoft office package was the numerous assignments that I had to type in word. If it were not for assignments and papers that needed be handed in, I would not have had it installed. The reason why it is still installed is because the work load increases when someone goes to college. I have to type assignments of different classes ever week and the one thing that is filling my disc space is school documents and notes. There are lecturers who give their notes in the form of the PDF format and that is when I got the answer to my question do i need adobe reader on my computer. It is impossible to read notes in the PDF format without the help of adobe reader. Installation is never complete until the machine is restarted after the installation is complete. If this is not done, then using the adobe reader will not be possible.
