Although electronic spreadsheets were introduced less than 50 years ago, people have created spreadsheets by hand for hundreds of years. What are the advantages of creating an automated spreadsheet, rather than a handwritten one? How does the capability to recalculate automatically when values change make an electronic spreadsheet more valuable than a spreadsheet created by hand? What are some of the other advantages of electronic spreadsheets? How do you use electronic spreadsheets advantages at home, work, or school?
