Monitors Are Important
by Callie Schembeck, 4th grade

A monitor is a thing for looking at files and pictures that you have on your computer or on the internet. A monitor is important because if you didn’t have one you couldn’t see any computer files, computer games, computer internet web pages, or pictures on the computer. A monitor is like your computer’s face, which tells you what your computer is saying and makes expressions that you can see.

If I typed this on a computer or posted it on an internet web page, a monitor would be how you are looking at it right now, unless someone printed it for you. And they would need a monitor to print it. If you have a monitor it is good to have a good monitor like the good Gateway FPD1975w 19” Widescreen LCD Monitor. It is not very big but that is OK because your files might look too big if it was too big.

Since everyone needs a monitor but not everyone has money, some people, like robbers, might try to rob a monitor. If they tried to rob the Gateway FPD1975w 19” Widescreen LCD Monitor, they would be disappointed because its GatewayShield™ Security keeps it locked to a secure fixture. And if the robbers broke it anyway, the monitor would shut down when it was disconnected from the computer. So if you have the Gateway FPD1975w you should put on a sign like ROBBERS: THIS WILL BREAK IF YOU TRY TO STEAL IT SO GO TO SOMEBODY ELSE’S HOUSE.

I guess blind people maybe don’t need monitors. But it would be hard to be a blind person, and it wouldn’t make up for it just that you wouldn’t have to buy a monitor, which a lot of computers come with already anyway.

In closing, monitors are important for many reasons. Computer monitors are the part of a computer that you look at when you look at computers. And since many of us look at computers every day, you can “see” why monitors are important! The next monitor I get, it will be a Gateway FPD1975w 19” Widescreen LCD Monitor.
