One reason why people purchase a コンピュータ is so that they can have it connected to the internet. This especially true of people who have loved ones who live far from them and they want to communicate with them as often as they want to. The internet technology has made communication even better and faster wherever you may be on earth. You may be in Japan or in Timbuktu and you can still communicate with your friends and loved ones across the globe. Connecting your computer to the internet is now easier and faster. Gone were the days when people have to stretch their patience when dealing with a dial-up internet connection. The faster wi-fi and broadband technologies are now widely used in many countries all over the world.
