hundreds of ways. For example:
computers make it faster to sort and find information
to communicate information with others
to create automatic "paper trail" of transactions
reduce amount of manual labor of data input and tracking
reduce size of document storage
enable ordinary people to do complex calculations quickly
bad things computers do
only give you the answers they were programmed to give
require hardware and software maintenance
concentrate sensitive information in one place
allow massive data theft unless properly protected
difficult to have communication and good security at same time
built-in obsolescence requires period upgrades or new systems
are extremely unreliable unless designed with backup systems
require "clean" electrical power, which not everyone has
may be difficult to train new people or to upgrade skills
reliance upon support staff who actually know how things work
not always as flexible or agile when needs change
