Computers Have Revolutionized Almost Everything
There have been a lot of advancements over the last 50 years and perhaps none have been more important than that of the computer. When you stop to consider it, the computer impacts everything about your life. It is a bit mind numbing.
In the beginning, the computer was a giant thing that had an entire room to its self because it took that much space. Today, you can get a computer nearly as small as you want, with a lot of Americans owning what is referred to as a laptop because they are used while sitting on your lap. In fact, people often refer to their computer as a pc, which stands for personal computer.
We have even now taken the computer and implemented it into our cell phones. This concept of a computer on our phone is absolutely amazing. It allows for so many applications of a computer while we are away from home and any other computer.
So many people now spend an ever increasing amount of time on the computer each day. This seems to be natural because they spend all day on them at work and then come home and jump on their pc at home. Many jobs exist today that did not exist before the computer. While it is true that some jobs were taken over by computers, the amount of jobs created far exceed those that were taken by computers
When a student begins to attend college, they will discover that a pc is part of the required school supplies. So much of the schoolwork is done on the computer that a college student without a pc would not be able to survive and pass their classes without one. Some old timers worry that the penmanship skill is rotting away because of computers, but in reality it is irrelevant in today’s world. As long as someone can write with enough penmanship that it can be read by others, they will do just fine in this world
Even our cars and trucks have been impacted by computers. Computers control some aspects of our vehicles as we drive down the road. Some of the things that they control include the air / fuel mixture, the anti lock brakes and the traction control to name a few.
Even restaurants have been impacted by the computer. If you go out to eat, you will notice that they have computers to input the orders so that they are not lost and also so they can keep better track of which orders need to be done when.
There is no question that pc’s have become a part of nearly every household in America along with the majority of homes in a lot of other countries. They have also pushed into the work place in most every industry. Our research, study, socializing, new reading, picture sharing and many other areas have all been revolutionized by the computer. There is no question that the computer was the biggest and in some regards the best advancement in the last 50 years.
