The computer’s input device(which might be a disk drive or tape drive depending on the medium used in inputting information) reads the information into the computer.

For outputting information, two common devised used are a printer which prints the new information on paper, or a cathode-ray-tube (CRT) display screen which shows the results on a TV-like screen.

Third, computers have circuits which can make decision.

A computer can solve a series of problems and make hundreds, even thousands, of logical decisions without becoming tired or bored.

It can find the solution to a problem in a fraction of the time it takes a human being to do the job.

Save the Planet

Today’s global economy has been formed by market, not by the principles of ecology. This has created an economy that is destroying its natural support system. It is eco-economy that we need today to save the planet. An eco-economy is one that satisfies our needs without affecting the prospects of future generations to meet their needs. Therefore, it is necessary to turn our economy into in eco-economy. To build an eco-economy means to restore carbon balance, to stabilize population and water use, and to conserve forests, soils and variety of plant and animal life in the world.

Such an eco-economy will affect every side of our lives. It will change how we light our homes, what we eat, where we live, how we use our free time, and how many children we have. It will give us a world where we are a part of nature.

Building a new economy means eliminating and replacing old industries, restructuring existing ones, and creating new ones. The generation of electricity from wind is one such industry. Soon millions of turbines will be turning both electricity and hydrogen. Together, electricity and hydrogen can meet all the energy needs of a modern society.

Another industry that will play an important part in the new economy is management of available water supply most efficiently. Irrigation technology will become more efficient. The recycling of urban waste water will become common. At present, water flows into and out of cities, carrying waste with it. In the future, water will be used again and again, never discharged. As water does not lose its quality from use, there is no limit to how long it can be used, as long as it is cleaned before reuse.

One can easily see eco-economy changes in some countries. It is known that Denmark is the eco-economy leader. It has stabilized its population, banned (запрещать) the construction of coal power planets, banned the use of non-refillable drink containers, and is now getting 15 per cent of its electricity from wind. Besides, it has restructured its urban transport networks; now 32 per cent of all trips in Copenhagen are on bicycles. Denmark is still not close (near) to balancing carbon emission, but it is moving in that direction.

Paperwork and the Digital Nervous System

  Bill Gates states it did not take Microsoft Co. long to get rid of most of the company’s paper forms. The move from paper to electronic forms is avital step in the evolution of a modern organization’s nervous system. A corporate system defines howan organization deals with planned and unplanned events alike. It includes meeting, paperwork and electronic systems. It governs the way information about customers is stored, the way workers are organized, the way budgets are compiled and activities are coordinated, and the way information is exchanged.

  In the past, companies were virtually alike in terms of how they managed these activities. Meetings, memosand managers were relied upon heavily. The placewas not usually too fast, and there was lots of paper.

  But one of the lessons from Darwin is that the excellence of an organism’s nervous system helps determine its ability to sense change and quickly respond, thereby surviving or even thriving.

  Today, new “digital nervous systems” are based on electronic communications tools that help corporations maintain themselves, defend from dangers and take advantage of opportunities rapidly. The Internet and intranetsare essential.

  You can easily bring the people you need together electronically, even if they are all over the globe. The people in the company can gain a common understanding of what is going on. They can exchange ideas easily.

  Perhaps the single most important element of a digital nervous system is a customer database. Having all your information about customers in one place gives you the tools to analyze and make decisions. It empowersyou to be highly responsive to customers needs. 

  Microsoft’s system is far from perfect, but it improves as the company takes better advantage of technology. Its annual budgeting process used to take three month. Microsoft invented a new process around electronic forms on the company’s intranet. 

  The budget cycle is now a very tense three-week period. The company’s digital system lets everybody see immediately what the other people in the company are planning. The managers see comparisons of sales and expense forecasts relative to market size in other divisions and regions. The product groups see the numbers organized by product. The subsidiaries see the numbers geographically. The finance people see them in on a profit-and-loss basis.

  In other worlds, information can automatically be analyzed and compared and summarized and brought to the attention of the people who need know about it.
