It has not only made our work easier but also aids us in being more productive.

Just a few decades back, graphic designers used to design posters, etc. with the help of paint and typewriters, which took them weeks to complete the tasks. This has now been transformed into a completely new world of spectacular websites like Adobe Photoshop, which requires just a few hours to design some next level posters, graphics, etc.
