Due to the energy of the atom man can produce electric energy at atomic power stations. An electronic machine has to be used to make all these calculations and technical drawing. They should help their friend to solve this vital problem as soon as it can be possible. He could not complete his research in time as he was to work very carefully. The students were not able to do the work without their teacher’s help; he had to help them. As the student was late for his Soil Science class, he might not enter the classroom.

       TODAY'S ASTONISHING COMPUTERS

Not long ago computers were not very reliable and comparatively slow in operation. Since then, several generations of complex electronic computing equipment have been developed, each being significantly better than the one before it. Almost every day a new use is found for these astonishing devices to help man.

We know a computer to be a complex electronic device that can store and process vast quantities of information. Following instructions, computing equipment will perform calculations such as addition, subtrac­tion, multiplication and division, and provide the answers to a large vari­ety of problems in a tiny fraction of time.

A computer is known to be the ‘heart’ of an electronic data process­ing system, other pieces of equipment being auxiliary.

There are two main types of computing equipment - digital and analogue. They work differently and yield different results. A digital PC is performing a much broader range of functions than an ana­logue one. An analogue computer, as its name implies, produces analogues or parallels of the process to be described or the problem to be solved.

Both the digital and the analogue computers are to be ‘programmed’ by an expert operator. This means they should be set up in such a way that they can produce a result from the information fed into them, and the information itself must be organized so that it can be handled by the machines. These de­vices working by electronic impulses perform at fantastic speed and with great precision.

Looking to the future, computer makers see no end to the things they would like to perfect. The computer of the future seems to be developed by using bionics - i. e. biological functions of plants and animals - as a guide in designing electronic circuits.

Nowadays, computer makers are working at the problem of introduc­ing small computers into our everyday life making them personal. They are trying to develop a data processing system that will be able to understand human language. And each new generation of computers opens up new possibilities for basic and applied research.
