How have computers changed our world?
Today in this modern world, computers have made a mark able position in almost everyone’s life. From students to business men, everyone owns a computer. Without a computer, life seems quite impossible. It is the most versatile machine ever been made. Anyone can use a computer according to his or her own desire. For example, a small kid may use a computer to play games or a student may use it as a medium to extract information from the internet, etc. The importance of this machine can be observed in our day-to-day life.
It has totally changed our lives. Since the time it has been invented, everyone is buying them. We have now entered the scientific era in which a computer system plays a major role.
Computers have been modified a several times. They have come a long way since Charles Babbage invented his Difference Engine. His early computers could only make complicated calculations and print the results. But the computers that we have today are able to do much more than that. Today we use computers to play games, watch movies, listen to music etc. Now, this new world is totally changed. We have computers for all the work that people used to do manually. For example, if we solve a mathematical equation by our hand, we would take much more time as compared to a computer system solving the same mathematical equation. Most people prefer computers rather than hands because it has proved its worth.
The world of arts has also been changed in a big way as; 35 mm film has been replaced by digital photography. These days every kind of books and information is available through the internet for ready references, for which computer is the medium. There is a tremendous progress seen in the field of music. The earlier used cassettes have been replaced by new audio formats like .mp3, .wav, .wmp etc
CONCLUSION: The above written clearly indicates that computers hav really changed our world and will keep on changing it with the new techniques going to be developed in future.
