Q I'm in my mid-fifties and have never used a computer. In today's small business world, is a computer really as necessary as you imply?A Today's business world is a world of rapid communications, and the personal computer plays a large role. If you use telephones or fax machines or credit card machines or cash registers, the chances are that a computer chip is already at work in your business.
Today's computers are really non-intimidating, self-teaching tools. For a couple thousand dollars, you can purchase a state-of-the-art computer system capable of teaching you all you need to know about computer operations. When you buy new software programs, you will find that they also will teach you the basics to be up and running in short order.
For your daily correspondence, your newsletter, your accounting, your billing, and inventory control, there is no reason not to be using a computer. As always, check with your industry leaders for recommendations on computer hardware and software.
