The age of computers has arrived Computers have touched almost all phases of our lives in one way or another. Even in Forest Lake High School one is in contact with a computer. Daily schedules are produced from the TIES computer, hand calculators are becoming more and more popular and classes in business, electronics and math all touch the computer field. These machines have also invaded the business world. Big corporations utilize computers and even small towns like Forest Lake are experiencing the impact of the computer boom. Grocery stores are beginning to invest in electronic scanners which are not only easier to use, but faster for the customers. These machines will change our lives forever.
