The computer makes doing schoolwork easier for me than it was for my mom and dad. For exam

The computer makes doing schoolwork easier for me than it was for my mom and dad. For example, when writing book reports and stories, I use Microsoft Word instead of a pen and paper. That way, after my teacher checks my work, I can go back and correct the mistakes without having to rewrite the whole thing. And Microsoft Word has a spell check! I use it all the time.
For English class, we are reading The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton. As pre-reading homework, my English teacher asked us to do some research on the Internet. I tried Google first, and finally found a wonderful article on Time. com.
For geography homework on the United States, I used Yahoo to learn about the Mississippi River. I needed to find out how deep the river is, how its widths and depths are different, what states it runs through, and what kinds of fish live in it. I used the information to show how the geography of a country influences its economy(影响经济). For example, the number of fish caught in it and the tourists it attracts directly affect local people’s jobs and incomes.
I never go to the library to do research. It takes too much time. Since I live in New York City and both my parents work, getting to the library isn’t always easy. For a big research project, I used to stay at the library to read books or magazines that I needed. Now being able to find the information at home makes everything a lot easier and simpler(更简单). Online dictionaries and encyclopedias (百科全书) also save time.
Sometimes, I think the computer spoils(宠坏) my generation because it is so easy --- at least physically. But computers are not like television, which does the thinking for you. You still have to use your mind. I prefer using a computer, easy, fun, and fast.
