With the development of technique, computers become the most important machines in our daily life. Though some one said that computer is the best friend of young people, they are not only suit for young people, but also suitable for old people. As an old people, they will have much more time to stay at home and use computer. They can use computer to know the information about the world outside. If they want to buy something, but they are too old to walk on the road, they can book something they need in the computer. They also can find a housekeeper to look after them in the computer. So computers are also very useful for old people.

I think both young people and old people have the same right to use computers. Maybe the only difference is that they use computers in different purpose. For those old people, they have more spare time at home. When they are alone, computer can be their good assistant. I�d like to take my own experience as an example. Recently when hearing I plan to buy a new computer to change the old one, my grandmother telephoned me immediately. She asked me whether she could have my old computer or not. And also she wanted me to teach her some skills to manage the computer as easy as she can manage. Suddenly I realize that my grandma is lonely at home. Since grandpa died few years ago, she almost has no activities. Moreover, her five children will come back to see her randomly even in weekends. She always stays at home from morning until night. So I wish my computer can help her and bring happiness to her. So when you say computer is also suit for old people, I totally I agree with it.
