A Computerized World :: science

A Computerized WorldSince the first computer was made in the late fifties, the technology has developed extremely. Computers which took the place of a living-room then, are now existence made in creditcard-formats. More and more(prenominal) areas are being taken over by the computer. As computers are capable of handling large amounts of data in a very short time, they are well up suited for wordprocessing. I guess that it wont be long till all the paper-archives are replaced by magnetic tapes and diskettes. A diskette can contain practically more data than a written page, and it takes less place It is possible to get the Norwegian telephone book on just one diskette. In near future, a new area bequeath be taken over by computers, namely maps. Different routes are stored on one oneness compact-disk. Imagine, barely insert the CD into the CD-driver in your car, and tell the computer where to go. The rest will be done automatically. This will be a safer, faster, and more cozy wa y to travel. Another new area, called virtual reality is currently being tested. This is a way to simulate reality on a monitor. In dress to feel this so-called reality you have to wear special electronic glasses and an electronic suit. Fastened to the suit are sensors, which send information to the main computer. This computer works with the data and displays them on the electronic spectacles. This is a technique which use three-dimentional views, therefore the scenery seems incredibly realistic. If you want to be a boxer, simply change the scenery on the main computer, and you are in the ring. Today, many kids have got video games. You could say these games are the presents answer to ludo and monopoly. In a way, it is a great advantage that the kids are being presented to computors at an early age, because they will definitely have to use them later, when they start to work. In the future there will be few occupations which wont use computors, one way or another. But the videoga mes are often being presented as something negative, which hinder the kids from doing homework and other more useful activities. This partially true, if they do much of it. But generally, I think the young peoples contact with computers is positive. In Norway today, it is getting more common to have a computer at home. You can use a personal computer to keep household-budgets or other economics.
