feature of the coming century is the development and growth of computer technology.
After ten years, computers will be at home, in our pockets and inside our television.
Even a grocer and vendor will be doing his business with the help of computers.
As it is rightly said,
Computers themselves, and software
yet to be developed,
will revolutionize the way we learn.
A
scientific survey has revealed that tomorrow, we shall have shirt pocket
computers, which will work much faster than to-day's computers.
A
computer is an electronic device that solves problems by processing data
according to instructions. The word computer has been derived from the “Latin”
word “computar” which means to reckon up (recount). The first computer was designed
by French scientist Pascal in 1942. The
first automatic electronic digital computer was prepared in America in 1946.
The computer was born to solve the problem
that did not exist before.
The
electric computer is rightly called the wonder of the modern age. It is an
electronic device for storing and analyzing information fed into it. It makes
calculations and controls machinery automatically.
A
computer is of immense help in every field of life. It can help us in business,
Industry construction, banking, medicine and teaching. In business and
industry, the computer can let us know about the latest trends of business. It
prepares lists of goods purchased and sold. It can show the figures of loss and
profit of a mill or factory in one moment. It can inform us about the
production, and needs of a factory within a flash of time. As it is wisely
said,
Access to computers and
the Internet has become
a basic need for
education in our society.
It
can equip us with a comparative statement of the production of other factories
and mills. Thus in no time, we shall have a perfect data of the working of
different factories on the screen of the computers without moving from our
room.
A
computer is too much helpful in the construction of the big plazas, buildings bridges
and roads. It gives us designs of various building structures, which are shock
proof and sound proof. This computer accuracy has reduced the time for building
something. Now, we can construct buildings of perfect designs which cannot be
completed by hundreds of engineers and scientists. As it is rightly said,
The digital revolution is far more
significant
than the invention of writing or even
of printing.
The
banking system too has been revolutionized by the computers. The clients do not
have to wait for a long time to know their balance, profit and loss. It supplies
to its clients the most accurate accounts.
Computers
are rendering great service in the smooth working of telecommunication system
also. The telephone exchanges are controlled by computers. The messages by
telephone, radio, fax machines and television are fully computerized. As it is
wisely said,
The real danger is not that computers
will begin to think like men,
but that men will begin to think like
computers.
Rockets,
satellites and spaceships are controlled through computers. The air flights between
different countries are guided by computers. Due to the wide range of memory and
calculation, they have become the need of every establishment. In the
hospitals, the computers help us to diagnose various diseases. They help us in
the investigation of laboratory tests. They guide the doctors to prescribe
correct medicine for the patients. As it is rightly said,
Man is still the most extraordinary
computer of all.
A
computer has a very vast memory. A small disk can store material that several
books and files can store. The knowledge contained in a whole library can be
stored in the computers. We can say that in future, the computer will play a
great role in our social, economic and cultural life. As it is wisely said,
“Computers are magnificent tools for
the realization of our dreams.”
