Answer 4

I think the thing that has created the most economic acticity is computers (which u already said) because there are alot of jobs out there that require computers, and without them there would be alot less jobs.

That's a good start. You should probably add details about the jobs that the invention of computers have created.

Answer 7

I don't see how homework and homework club are economic activities. If you earned money by delivering newspapers, babysitting, and doing household chores, then those are economic activities.

Economic activities mean earning or spending money.

Buying stuff is also an economic activity because you're spending money.

Answer 8

Yes. Spending money on a sweater and boots are economic activities.
