What are the advantages of using a spreadsheet?
Using a spreadsheet you can see all the data at once and when you change anydata all computations can be instantaneously updated with the change.
It is a place where you can organize your information. Also if you are using numbers, you can input eqautions to help run those numbers (ex. Excel).

They are faster to set up and allow easier copying and duplication for data with repetitive patterns They are neat, easily edited and much quicker.
1. It can help you with finances.
2. It can help you with calculations.
If you had ever used a paper spreadsheet in duplicate or triplicate, etc., you wouldn't have asked. In the old days, if you made one error, you would have to erase, whiteout or rewrite the spreadsheet and all the carbons or duplicates from the point of the error or in its entirety. With software you just correct the wrong entry and recalculate. I almost cried the first time I saw a computer program recalculate a spreadsheet after an error and display it in under 2 seconds in a sales demonstration (the year was 1983). Another advantage besides accuracy and editing is the ability to email and print copies.
It can help you with your finances and it can help you easily with your calculations.

A computer and computing services company named International Business Machines.
Originally founded in 1924 following the merger in 1911 of 3 companies into the holding company CTR (Computing Tabulating Recording):
- Tabulating Machine Company, made electromechanical punchcard data processing machines and punchcards (the product IBM was most known for from 1932 until the 1970s, because of their use by Social Security for printing benefit checks)
- International Time Recording Company (itself a merger of Bundy Manufacturing Company, Willard and Frick Manufacturing Company, Chicago Time-Register Company, Del Ray Register Company, and Syracuse Time Recorder Company), made mostly timeclocks
- Computing Scale Company, made various items including weighing scales, automatic meat slicers, and coffee grinders
By the time IBM made their first electronic digital computers in the early 1950s (NORC and the IBM 701 Defense Calculator) they had an extremely diversified and correspondingly difficult to manage product line. It was not until the late 1960s that they began to fully commit to the computer business and selloff unrelated product lines, a process that continues to the present day (e.g. the selloff of their PC line to Lenova in China as IBM itself concentrates more on services than actual hardware).

How does sudden power outage affect computer?
Most computers will simply switch off. Windows will usually try to check the hard-drive for errors on restoration of power. A computer that's connected to an un-interruptable power supply (UPS) will carry on as if nothing has happened. A UPS gives the user time to shut the computer down properly. Computers are usually connected to a UPS in places like hospitals, police/fire stations etc.
Kilobyte (derived from the SI prefix "kilo-", meaning 1,000) is a unit of digital information storage equal to either 1,000 bytes (103) or 1,024 bytes (210), depending on context.
The prefix kilo- refers to the number 1000. This is the standard, official definition, used to measure hard drives, DVDs, networking hardware, etc. This is what Mac OS X and Linux use to measure disk and file sizes.
- 1 bit = binary digit
- 8 bits = 1 byte (B)
- 1000 bytes = 1 kilobyte (kB)
- 1000 kilobytes = 1 megabyte (MB)
- 1000 megabytes = 1 gigabyte (GB)
- 1000 gigabytes = 1 terabyte (TB)
- 1000 terabytes = 1 petabyte (PB)
- 1000 petabytes = 1 exabyte (EB)
- 1000 exabytes = 1 zettabyte (ZB)
- 1000 zettabytes = 1 yottabyte (YB)
Regarding computer memory, it is usually used as a unit of 2 to the power of 10, or 1024. This is officially incorrect usage, and should be written "KiB", for "kilobinary byte".
