162. Personal computers (Listen and Read)

Over the past few decades, personal computers have become an essential part of daily life.

Since the early 2000s, the role of computers has evolved dramatically.

While computers were once mainly used for tasks like word processing and basic calculations,

today's devices are used for everything from work to entertainment.

In the early 2000s, many homes had a single computer.

Now, most people have multiple devices,

including laptops, tablets, and smartphones.

Computing power has increased, and cloud storage allows people to access their files from anywhere.

Gaming has also advanced.

What began with simple games has transformed into an industry with immersive graphics,

online multiplayer features, and virtual reality experiences.

Communication has shifted from just email to instant messaging, video calls, and social media,

allowing people to connect instantly with others worldwide.

The Internet has become even more central to our lives,

offering endless resources, online shopping, streaming services,

and platforms for work and learning.

Personal computers and technology continue to shape how we live, work, and interact,

making them indispensable in the modern world.
