Today computers are
used almost everywhere, it is impossible to imagine our life without PCs,
Internet, mobile phones and other computer devices. It is reasonable to think
that people look forward to the future of computers. In what field
will be computers used for and what role will human has in this world in
future?
Besides,
computers make our life easier, we can easily get information about any product
we plan to buy or place we plan to visit in a second using a personal computer
and Internet. Scientists predict
that in the nearest future it will be possible to smell a new perfume using the
Internet and watch 3D scenes at home like we do in the movie theater. According
to forecasts of HR agencies machines will replace jobs of cashiers, and civil
and military pilots. Some corporations in Japan are already selling
housewife-robots, which help old people to keep their homes clean.

Despite the fact
that computers help us, they make us dependent. Apparently, people spend more
time behind monitors than ever before. And some of them feel a need for more
time to be spent with people in live contact. In addition, a breakdown of one
of the important modules of a specific computer can entail serious
consequences. Suffice to mention the computer problem that
occurred in the end of 1990s, a problem related to the coming year 2000 (Y2K)
and catastrophes that were predicted. Fortunately imminent disasters did not
happen. However, it is difficult to imagine what could be if
all the predictions came true.
We live in a
technological era, computers penetrated everywhere with all benefits they provide
and all dangers they hide. However we are satisfied with them and sometimes we
even thank them because they help us in communicating, studying, doing
business, entertaining and saving lives in critical situations.
