"What is the computer" (WORD - 246)
The computer is the most wonderful
gift of science to the modern man. The computer can do all the works of man.
Thus, after the invention of computer, the gap between man and machine has been
bridged up.
Computers are being used for various
purposes today like weather forecasting, machinery operations, guidance of
spacecraft and technology. Apart from these in the medical sector, it
provides a great helping hand in storing information that could be referred
later, in space technology, automation in banks, ticket booking through the
net, traffic control, and even games could be played in computers on and many
more.
To run a computer, it is the
programming that decides and it should be run in a computer. Programming is
defined as a set of instructions allotted to the computer that accepts it in
order to solve a problem. There are many different languages that are being
used to program a computer. Some of the languages are BASIC, COBOL, C, C++,
JAVA are a few to name.
The world would not have been what
it is today, had there not been an entry to this great machine even though in
the crude form, ages before us. Computer has a great future and we just have to
keep a watch and mark the changes coming to it.
We are becoming increasingly
dependent on computers. They are used in business, crime detection and even to
fly planes. What things will they be used for in future? Is this dependence on
computers a good thing or should we be more suspicious of their benefits?
