I use the computer when doing school projects. Usually, I go to the library with my friends, and we each do our own homework. I pick the library because the Wi-Fi there is super fast. It's handy to look for information on the computer. I think it's more efficient than flipping through loads of books the traditional way. I know it's just a reference, and I would check with reliable sources, though. Thank you.
