Best Answer

Computers were made to calculate big numbers that could not be calculated by humans. Before computers it took about 7 years to calculate the population for the US census, by the time it was all counted up it was outdated.

Computers were later used to decode enemy messages, and to encode ally messages. When computers weighed several tons and were not affordable for the average person they were mainly used by the military and big businesses.

Computers today are used to communicate and to share and find information over the internet. Computers are now affordable to any person on earth with access to electricity and an internet connection. Computers are also used to design buildings and structures, calculate numbers, host the internet, government private communications, and millions of other uses.
