Computers in our life
Computers in our life
The language of computers 50 years ago, people hadn’t heard of computers. And today we cannot imagine our life without them. Computer technology is the fastest-growing industry in the world. The first computer was the size of a minibus and weighed a ton. Today, its job can de done by a chip the size of a pinhead. And the revolution is still going on. Very soon we’ll have computers that we’ll wear in our watches or even in our glasses and earrings. Such wearable computers are being developed in the USA. Japan’s biggest mobile - phone company has just released its cleverest product so far, the i - mode, a mobile – phone that allows you to surf the Internet as well as make calls. People are already using their phones to check the news, follow the stock market and download the latest jokes, buy cinema tickets and manage their bank accounts. The next generation of computers will be able to talk and even think for themselves. They will contain electronic 'neural networks'. Of course, they'll be still a lot simpler than human brains, but it will be a great step forward. Such computers will help to diagnose illnesses, find minerals, understand and control the world's money markets, identify criminals and control space travel. Computer revolution is changing our life and our language, too. We are constantly making up new words or giving new meanings to old ones. Most of computer terms are born in Silicon Valley, the world's top computer-science centre.
