Computer Boon or Bane

Computers have had a significant impact across many fields such as transportation, engineering, medicine, weather prediction, space exploration, and entertainment. Computers are now used in almost every area and can accept, store, manipulate, and transmit vast amounts of data to help solve complex problems. While early computers were room-sized and used tremendous amounts of power, modern computers are small, portable, and power efficient while being exponentially more powerful. Computers have helped advance fields like medicine by maintaining patient records, aiding in diagnosis and monitoring vital signs, and assisting with complex procedures.

COMPUTER-A BOON OR BANE

INTRODUCTION: A computer is an electronic machine that can accept , store , manipulate and transmit data in accordance with specific instructions providing the required information to the user. I n todays world , computers are used in almost all the areas especially scientific field which involves storing up of voluminous data and complicated calculations. ENIAC: The first electronic computer used so much power that all lights in a nearby town dimmed every time it was switched on. It weighed in at about 30 tonnes. COMPUTERS IN TRANSPORT: Computer controlled bullet trains run at the speed of 200 km/hr. Computers control traffic signals and reduce traffic congestion. Now in-built computer drives cars. Planes can switch over to auto-pilot and the pilots can take rest in the cockpit. Computers launch rockets into space and even drive rover on Mars. ENGINEERING: The computers help the engineers to design structures e.g., Highways , bridges , sky scrappers , dams , ships , vehicles , complex aerodynamical studies .

MEDICINE: Computer science has helped the medical sciences to progress . It helps to maintain the records about patients , perform medical diagnosis , monitor patients vital signals such as heart beatand pulse rate . They also help in complicated organ transplants and micro-surgery. INTERNET:

YEAR RAPID GROWTH


1982 1991 1995 1999 2008

NUMBER OF INTERNET USERS


200 600,000 45,000,000 150,000,000 1,500,000,000

RECORD BREAKER: The worlds biggest and most-used search engine ,GOOGLE has an index of millions of web-pages and handles 250 million searches every day. PREDICTION OF WEATHER CONDITION : Computers help meteorologists to predict good rain spell or drought .This in turn helps farmers to plan their cultivation . Storms and whirl

winds are predicted well in advance . This prevents loss of life and poverty. SPACE: Computers have helped in designing space crafts and guiding them in their search probes of distant planets . Computers help the research scientist to perform sophisticated calculations which they cant perform . For e. g, computers are employed in nuclear research and astronomical calculations . ENTERTAINMENT: Computers have made rapid strides in entertainment field .No film is made without employing animation technique .Huge buildings being destroyed by bombs and fire , unseen , huge creatures , sand storms , deluge taking human shapes , bullets whizzing past before our eyes are made possible by computers. CONCLUSION: Computer Science has helped progress of humanity in several fields since computer can store large amounts of data , process them rapidly with perfect accuracy and transmit the results in several ways .Hence computers have become indispensable.
