The world is constantly changing around us. People have come to realize the importance of literacy. One has to get educated to live a better life. Now, with the dawning of the new millennium, a new age has raised - one we now call the age of the computers. In this fast developing world, people from all corners of the world are starting to realize the importance of computers. We are now marching into a new era where information technology is simply indispensable. To step into unknown territory, computer is the key. It is thus undeniable that being computer literate is a must. Otherwise, one world feel incapacitated. The computer has made life easy for humans. Let me give an example. Fifty years ago, one of the qualifications for a secretarial post was the ability to write fast and neatly. Now, all you need is a certificate stating that you are computer literate! Besides, the computer helps people to produce fast and efficient work. As a result, with the help of the computer, more things can be done in a shorter time. With the computer, the Internet is made possible. The Internet is a source of knowledge. It can fulfill your every interest. You will be able to search for what you want, be it on health or music. With just a click of the mouse, you are able to improve on what you like. Unknowingly, you become a better-equipped person. Education is the key to success. Without education, one has to be contented with a meager salary. With the help of computers, distant learning is made possible by logging on to the Internet. Imagine yourself getting a degree without going to school or a university. This facility not only helps to save one's money but also one's time as one study at one's own pace and ability. In addition, the Internet provides cheap and fast communication. You are able to send e-mails instantly after a click. Moreover, you can also chat with your friends. This can also be a sort of entertainment. It is so hard to phone someone or call someone using only by phone but by the use of computer you are connected.

Conceptual Framework

The purpose of this conceptual framework is to provide an information how the computer give benefit to the people most especially to the students. To know further, the computer gives a large impact to the society.

Computers make life easier for people every day. They help us to do tasks quicker and communicate with friends and family with the click on a button. Computers play a significant role in the school system as well. They help students to learn more efficiently and help them do their work. Computers offer the Internet which helps student’s research information for projects they may have. School computers also offer programs which can help anyone learn. An example of this is the program All the Right Type. This program helps students as well as teachers, to learn how to type faster and more efficiently. Also there are other programs which younger students can go on to help them with developing and reinforcing their math skills and reading skills. Programs like Math Circus and matching the word with the picture. Programs like these make it easy to understand and use computers, yet it also makes learning fun. Computers also make writing and doing homework easier to complete. With spell check and other spelling tools, it makes it easier and faster to complete work. This is because you are not spending all your time going through your homework looking for spelling mistakes, because the computer automatically does it for you, making your life easier.

Theoretical Framework

Many people today know the computer and how it works on our daily life. It can help them in different ways and different situation. A theoretical framework for knowing the benefits of computer is presented. The proposed framework based on the information and data gathered, organized the use of computer in many different ways.

Since the beginning of time technology has helped us out as a human race. From the invention of the wheel to the Internet, technology has been a great factor on the way our civilization has grown. With more and more technological advances just around the corner, our civilization will continue to grow faster and faster than ever before.

The research introduced historical used of computer with good benefits. Nearly twenty million children in the United States do not have computers in their homes. Although an enormous literature explores the effects of computer use in schools, the role of home computers in the educational process has been understudied. The use several identification strategies and panel data from the two main U.S. datasets that include recent information on computer ownership among children -- the 2000-2003 CPS Computer and Internet Use Supplements (CIUS) matched to the CPS Basic Monthly Files and the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 -- to explore the causal relationship between computer ownership and high school graduation and other educational outcomes. Teenagers who have access to home computers are 6 to 8 percentage points more likely to graduate from high school than teenagers who do not have home computers after controlling for individual, parental, and family characteristics. The research generally find evidence of positive relationships between home computers and educational outcomes using several identification strategies, including controlling for typically unobservable home environment and extracurricular activities in the NLSY97, fixed effects models, instrumental variables, and including future computer ownership and "pencil tests." Home computers may increase high school graduation by reducing non-productive activities, such as truancy and crime, among children in addition to making it easier to complete school assignments.Such research findings and analysis between the computer’s benefits and to the user may the used of theoretical framework, organized the good effects of computer to people who used it. The framework used, gives information regarding to the benefits of computer.

Research Design

Computer gives a large value to the people who use it. The hard work of user ensures the good quality of computer materials. Objectives are usually clear and explicit. Instruction is carefully sequenced. The materials engage the learner's attention and encourage learner activity. The computer provides frequent feedback to the learner. Computers can generate attractive and complex graphics quickly. Computers can simulate motion. They can give undivided attention to a single learner. They can provide complex evaluations of a learner's performance. They can wait patiently. They can be programmed to model a learner's cognitive processes. In certain respects, computer lessons seem to have an advantage over lessons presented by classroom teachers. Few classroom teachers can put a large of time in preparation for each 1-h lesson. Classroom teachers cannot give each individual in a large classroom their continuous, undivided attention. Classroom teachers can be notoriously slow at grading student work and preparing reports. And their patience is often tried by their charges. Can such differences account for the superior record of computer-based instruction in evaluation studies? They might. It is possible that the computer has fared so well in evaluation studies because programs of computer-based instruction have generally been well designed, and computers have delivered instruction in an attractive and engaging way. It is possible, in other words, that we should take the findings of studies of computer-based instruction at face value. Evaluation studies of other kinds will be necessary to test this notion more fully. Studies must be carried out to address the question, why has the computer helped students to the extent it has? How does it influence learning? Which features of the computer make it so effective? Is it the absolute consistency in the computer's response or the computer's complete impartiality? Does computer effectiveness stem from the novelty that the computer brings to instruction? Or is the immediacy of the computer's response the central thing? Are computer lessons equally effective when presented without electronic technology? How important is the social setting in which the computer is used? Process rather than outcome studies are needed to answer such questions, and process studies are needed in sufficient numbers for quantitative synthesis of results. It will take an enormous effort to produce the studies and to synthesize their findings, but, judging by what has already been achieved, the effort may prove to be worthwhile.

Related Studies

The days of going to the library or using inter-library loan to find resources for a niche research project are becoming less common. Students at many universities now have the ability to obtain electronic records of books, reducing the need to wait several days to weeks for another participating institution to ship research materials. Colleges have subscriptions to industry journals and academic papers that allow students to research a topic online. Even from home, students can search the Internet to find abstracts and in many instances complete case studies. Google Scholar, for example, provides free access for anyone, while JSTOR -- an online subscription service -- charges a fee, but universities usually provide free access for students on campus, and some provide a method of connecting off-campus as well.

Online Learning

Many colleges offer traditional brick-and-mortar in-class learning, online learning or a combination of both. In classes with online and classroom components, the student usually attends a classroom on campus for collaboration, lectures and important tests. The online aspect of a combined course involves submitting assignments, watching supplementary video and obtaining course materials online outside the classroom. Even in traditional classes, students may have access to an online syllabus, research materials and other class information via an online class portal. Depending on your intended program, finding an accredited college that provides an entire degree program online may be possible. Computers have made online learning available and provide access to education regardless of where you reside.

Mobility

As the computer's physical footprint shrinks, opportunities have increased to incorporate mobile computing into the classroom. Students can use mobile computing devices for interviews, to take notes in the field and to record lectures. Students who can't afford the cost of a laptop may use a tablet or other less costly mobile device to access educational resources. Drawbacks exist to using such devices. Mobile devices aren't always able to access content available to traditional laptops and desktops, such as certain video and other programs that students might need to access.

Infrastructure

Schools invest a lot of money in the technological infrastructure that provides support for computer-based research and collaboration. As Internet access becomes a standard technology on college campuses, students don't need to visit a library, cafe or dedicated Internet spot to locate information and stay connected. According to the Federal Communications Commission, 97 percent of schools in the United States have some form of Internet connectivity. As many colleges add computer labs within individual departments and not only in libraries, individual academic programs have started using the technology and requiring students to use computer labs for skill-specific training. For instance, music departments use ear-training programs, and science departments may use professional-grade engineering applications.
