Abstract
 

This research work was carried out, to find the impact of the uses of computer in the 4 Local governments, namely: [Ife East, Ife South, Ife Central and Ife North], local government areas, in Ile – Ife Kingdom of Osun State, Nigeria. 4,000 open questionnaires were distributed to 4 Local Governments, out of which 1000 was used in each local government. A total of 40 different locations were visited and sampled in all the four Local Governments, out of which 100 questionnaires were used in each location. It was gathered that above 75% of the people from the four local governments, supported that there was an impact in the uses of computer in our society, while below 25% of the people could not even understand whether computer has an impact or not. The results from the questionnaires when using Pearson two-tailed correlation coefficient revealed that there was asignificant difference from the summary data collected within the four local government visited and sampled, [p > 0.05] table 5. This shows a strong positive correlation, which implying that, the impact in the uses of computer in our society, is strongly influenced and enhanced the people’s support in Osun State, and therefore had made the research work to become a reality, [p > 0.05] table 5. The reasons may not be far - fetched. Since we are in computer era, a large numbers of activities are dependent on computers; such as at homes, at schools, in offices, at banks, in market places, in industries, in hospitals etc. Most of the business centre users have become computer literate through adult awareness training that was possible here, in both rural and urban areas of Osun State, Nigeria. Since the state government had made computer compulsory in all levels, starting from secondary school’s level to both youth and adult alike, these had however equally, added to the glamour. Histogram with curve was used to depict the summary data of each of the local government areas sampled.
