Putting the compute back in computer
As technology advances, so does the abilities of technological devices. Cell phones get smarter, televisions can broadcast their images in three-dimensional scenes, and computers can work faster and compute more data than ever before. In the past, computers were very slow and one dimensional in their abilities. Now, however, as new technologies have been created, computers are all but human in their abilities and nature. Computers can run programs that are next to human intelligence, help guide missiles, control aircraft, and much more. Scientists use computers and their programs to help hold volumes of information as well as make presentations. The human race has become quite dependent on machines, which is ironic since they wouldn’t be made if it weren’t for the people who created them. Email has replaced snail mail, video conferencing has replaced face-to-face meetings, and even instant messaging has replaced normal conversation. We are dependent on these machines to handle our everyday wants and needs. Whether we realize it or not, computers are the gateway to the world.
