The most powerful computer

One of the greatest advances of modern technology was the invention of computers. They are widely used in industry and universities. Now, there is hardly any sphere of human life where computers are not pressed into the service of man. We are rapidly moving towards a situation where a computer is as much a part of everyday
 life of a man like a toothbrush.

Computers are capable of doing extremely complicated in all branches of knowledge work. They can solve the most complex mathematical problems or put thousands of independent facts in order. For example, they can provide information on the best way to prevent traffic accidents, or they can count the number of times the word "and" was used in the Bible. Because they work with precision and speed, they save researchers years of hard work. The whole process by which machines can be used to work for us was called "automation". In the future, automation may allow much freer today humans. The advent of automation is bound to have important social consequences.
There is an automation expert, Sir Leon Bagrit few years have pointed out that it was a mistake to believe that these machines can "think." There is no possibility that human beings are "controlled by machines." Although computers are able to learn from their mistakes and improve their performance, they need detailed instructions from human beings to be capable of operating instructions. They can not, so to speak, independent living or "rule the world" by making decisions on their own.
Sir Leon said that in the future, computers would be developed that would be small enough to fit in your pocket and even watches. Ordinary people already use the Internet to obtain valuable information. Computers can be connected to a national network and be used as radios. People who go on holiday can check the weather, motorists can be given alternative routes to avoid congestion. The machine translation have allowed people who do not share a common language to communicate with each other without any difficulty or read foreign publications.
It is impossible to assess the importance of a machine of this kind, for many international misunderstandings are caused simply by our inability to understand the other. Computers are very useful in public hospitals also. Providing a machine with systems of a patient, a doctor will be able to diagnose the nature of his illness. Similarly, machines are used to keep a check on the patient and update medical records. Doctors have immediate access to a large number of facts that help them in their work. guards and accountants, too, were relieved of office work boring, for the tedious task of collecting and checking lists of figures can be done entirely by machines. Computers will also be able to tell the exact age of a man or how long he will live with the help of his image in the blood. Computers are the man of the most effective servants has never been and there is no limit to how they can be used to improve our lives
