Read Text 1 Band find information on advantages and disadvantages of modern computers. Text 1 B Computers in the Modern World Computers play a very important part in our life. They help people in their work and studies and save a lot of time. People make use of the Internet to collect information for their needs. Computers give access to a lot of information. It is possible to find data and descriptions, chapters from necessary book to make a long story short. Computers have been around for about more than fifty years. ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer), the first great electronic computer, was built in the 1940th. Despite the fact that it was the size of a large house, was limited in power and was unreliable. ENIAC was the first programmable, electronic, general-purpose digital computer. ENIAC was able to solve "a large class of numerical problems" through reprogramming. Although the device was designed and primarily used to calculate artillery firing tables , its first program was a study of the feasibility of the thermonuclear weapon. But computers have developed quickly. Today computers sit comfortably on our desks and have much more power than those original machines. In the last ten years or so, the largest businesses have become completely dependent on computers for writing and storing financial and mathematical information. Computers within a single office or building may be connected, and they therefore form a network. A computer network is a group of computers that use a set of common communication protocols over digital interconnections for the purpose of sharing resources located on or provided by the network nodes. The interconnections between nodes are formed from a broad spectrum of telecommunication network technologies, based on physically wired, optical, and wireless radio-frequency methods that may be arranged in a variety of network topologies. Computer networks support many applications and services, such as access to the World Wide Web, digital video, digital audio, shared use of application and storage servers, printers, and fax machines, and use of email and instant messaging applications. Users of computers on a network can send messages to each other, utilizing the same collections of data or information. In many offices and organizations computer messages have replaced messages written on paper, and they are now called e-mail or electronic mail. E-mail is not only fast and easy (if you understand how to use the computer), but it also saves paper. Workers can send and receive e-mail without leaving their desks and their desktop computers. Disadvantages. There are some disadvantages, of course. First, some people use computers for negative purposes. Sometimes people with bad intentions can make use of the information available in the wrong way. They hack the credit card and misuse them or they can steal important data from organizations. Second, different tasks are performed automatically by using computers. It reduces the need of people and increases unemployment in society. 21. Decide if the following statements are true (T) or false (F) and give reasons to your opinion. 1. Computers are in wide use all over the world. 2. The first electronic computers were large in size, powerful and reliable calculating machines. 3. Most large businesses have become completely independent on computers. 4. In many firms and organizations, computer messages have replaced written messages. 5. To communicate with each other the computers use special codes as computer network. 6. Sometimes the information available can be used in the wrong way. 7. Computers give no access to any kind of information. 22. Complete the sentences based on Text 1 B. 1.
