In the last few decades, computer
technology has made tremendous progress in the world of communication to
benefit humankind. The computer has the capability to communicate across long
distances. Furthermore, an information superhighway has been created for the
computer, in which huge amounts of data can be transmitted around the world at
high speed. Computer technology also makes it possible for computer networks
to link academic, research, and government organizations globally.
Much information is transmitted by “electronic superhighway” where
you can be connected to universities, libraries, banks, and businesses.

credit card and it arrives at your house the next day.
