text: Computers have definitely effected peoples lives.  I have a computer  and my life has change because of it.  I'm able to store almost all the information I need for school and for other things in my computer whereas before I had a computer my desk was cluttered w/ paper and records of all sorts, I no longer need to keep these records but only to transfer them to my computer. This means I'm able to store more information in an organized fashion.  Though I have only used a fraction of my computer's ability, I'm still aware of the tremendous opportunities which I have or will have.  Aside from being able to store great amounts of info, I'm also able to process and to edit things quickly.  For example, without the use of a computer I had to balance my checkbook once a month and had to this w/ a calculator, a pen and a piece of paper.  Of course, this was very time consuming and open to error.  W/ the use of a computer I have programmed the computer to make the calculations which I once had to make.  Also, w/ the use of the Word Processor I'm able to edit and rearrange documents w/out altering the entire document, and furthermore, though I have yet to use the Communications program in my computer, this program seems to be extraordinarily helpful.  My father has the same program in his computer and is able to buy on line tickets w/out leaving the house  and moreover w/out picking up the phone.  Also, I realize that my experience w/ computers is limited and that the power of computers, for me, is incomprehensible.
  	I'm now here in Madrid.  How did I get there?   Well, I applied to the this program, was accepted, and flew here form the US.  But, w/out the use of computers I would still be struggling w/ the secretary in the International Programs Office at Boston University, no doubt.  Instead, once I applied to the program- the application for which was probably computer generated- I assume my info was processed by a computer.  W/out this luxury, the International Programs Office would inevitably inundated w/ paperwork and things would therefore be lost or at least misplaced.  When booking my flight, though I did not do this myself, the transaction would seem impossible minus the aid of computers.  Computers have had a most significant impact on the people in the latter 1/2 of the 20th century.
