Hello, I’m Nina and I’m new here.
If I want to write an essay about benefits of the computer, do I use ‘the computer’ or ‘computers’. This always confuses me whether I need to put ‘s’.
Thank you a lot.

Hi Nina, welcome to our forum. As for your question, in order to avoid any confusion I suggest you use ‘The benefits of using computers’ as the title.
Best regards,
Torsten

You can use either. ‘The computer’ can also have the generic meaning as in: The computer is an indispensable tool today. But ‘Computers’ is preferable.
As Torsten has opined, the title will dispel the confusion likely to be had by a reader.
Good luck, Nina!
