Computers are having an enormous impact on science and technology.Complicated

mathematical calculations can be performed in minutes.Also data gathering ,testing and analysis

have been improved by computer use.Computer have many applications in factories where they

are used for controlling and analysing many industrial processes.However,not only are they used

to manufacture certain products,but they are incorporated into the products,such as

cars,trains,ships,weapons,cash registers or machine tools.

Computers are also being increasingly used in medicine.They are very helpful in medical

diagnosis,patient monitoring and general hospital administration.In the banking and

architecture,engineering or machinery are also increasingly dependent on computer

design.Moreover, computers are revolutionizing such fields as advertising or marketing of new

There is a widespread impact of computers in education.Educational institutions use them for

various purposes.First of all,they perform administrative functions,such as data recording or

book-keeping.Second ,they play an important role in teaching.More and more secondary schools

offer classes in computer science to educate young people how to use them . This trend is

increasing as we are all on the brink of computerized future and an understanding of computers

is especially important to the young genration.Everyone will probably agree that the future of

modern society depends greatly on computerization.
