Many of us have desktops or laptops at our homes. However, they are mostly used as to surf the net or as gaming stations. We need to go beyond that and make the computer a knowledge tool.
Packages like Encarta or Britannica go a long way in doing just that.
Ever since I installed a copy of Microsoft Student with Encarta Premium 2007 on my laptop, I haven’t experienced boredom. Whenever I do get bored, I just open the suite and click my way through its vast knowledge-base.
Microsoft Encarta Premium 2007 has different sections like History, Geography, People & Society, Arts & Literature, Science & Nature, Sports & Recreation.The advantage that an electronic version has over the paper version is that the videos, 3-D animations and virtual tours make the learning much more enjoyable and interesting than a piece of text.
Moreover, Encarta Kids is a special section devoted to kids. It has information in a simplified manner, with lots of games and animation thrown in.
Microsoft Student 2007 is not just an encyclopedia, but a knowledge-tool. It lets you learn about many of activities one performs in school or college. For example, it has an extensive array of Math tools, geography tools, foreign language tools and search tools. For college students, it has tools to create projects and papers, presentations, and charts & graphs, plus a complete section devoted to college, jobs and career.If you have kids at home, Microsoft Student with Encarta premium 2007 is one of the best things you can get for them as a (birthday!!!??) gift!
