as student i used Microsoft word mainly for papers. in this case we as students are not using it to its fullest potential and cannot see beyond following a certain format and using it to write certain files. in some cases Microsoft word is also in the case of students to do outlines for papers and also to distribute and organize workload when working with other people. In the case of professor, they use it widely not only for papers but for any written evaluation made for students. this includes quizzes, exams and even instructions for group projects. apart from that I've also heard professors using word to write letter and resumes and even emails.

This standard in particular is very important because it does not only show the value of technology especially for social networking, but it also shows how meeting and working with new people can actually shed some light into your world view and expand it.

At around age 7 i started using the internet almost daily, but that was mostly so that i could use it to download games online. That went on for a while until we had to use computers in school. this was thanks to a class that i took where they showed us how to use programs like word, excel and power point. once that class was over though i mainly only used word and power point.
