In the olden days, banks used to maintain files for the people's account. There were lot of problems they had to face as it was a big risk on their part to maintain the accounts because there were all chances of account records getting misplaced. but now, the computers are used, they maintain the records perfectly and all the calculations are also made by the computer which is far better than humans who commit mistakes. also people had to wait for a long time for their transactions during those days but now computers have made it fast. so computers are reallly useful and a must in these days of thick population [blackmagician]

Computer is very helpful in the field of Accounting. Before, footing and crossfooting took eternity to assure that they are balance. With the help of the spread sheets, it is esier to balance everyhing; to check and counter-check. I am really happy to have this now. Using calculator and rulers are things of the past that I laughed at whenever I remember it. [neo_apocalypse]

One of the first a main uses of computing was the creation of the spreadsheet. Prior to this accountants had to continually shift columns of numbers. The sreadsheet is the accountants dream come true. [Denjgi]
