Computers and devolopment

It is said that computers have played a major role in the development of the modern world and it has become an important part of wide range of areas such as science and technology, Economy, Agriculture, Medicine and many more. The introduction of computers for different fields has increased the overall growth of relevant fields and the development of the all inhabitants of earth. It has found that computer industry itself has achieved a significant development than any other industry in the world.

Computers have been used in wide variety of sections and its usage has been gradually expanding across many areas. Medical science is one area which has improved a lot with the use of computers over last 30 years. There are surgeries which are carried out by automated devices using the instructions fed through computers. It has helped to perform complex surgeries with precious accuracy even without a doctors performing the surgery or giving instructions to a preprogrammed computer. An eye operation for insertion of artificial lens is an example where computers are used to facilitate the preciousness of the surgery. The cockpit of an airplane is nowadays equipped with devices which are programmed or operated using computers and it has place air planes as one of the safest methods of traveling. Theses highly sophisticated devices has made pilots task much easier and one example is the usage of automated air traveling program which guides the airplane to a specified destination without the help of the pilot and there are unmanned surveillance aircrafts which are specially used by military in many countries.

Surely, we can’t think of a world without computers and it has become the backbone of our development. However, it could harm the mindset of many children and some children are addicted to computer games and movies such that they spent most of their time in front of a computer. This reduces social interaction of children which is vital element of the development of personality and knowledge. Terrorists and thieves have been able to plan their violent activities easily with the support of computers and Al Quieda terrorists used pilot stimulation program to train their terrorists for the September 9/11 attack. But Computers can’t be thrown away due to such reasons and it is necessary to find methods to overcome such problems. In fact, children have been able to learn much faster using computers than they used to.

It can be said that computer is one of the most essential item in the modern society and it will continue to play its role for many centuries to come. We are in the commencement of technological age where human are looking to explore the universe using spacecrafts and without computers none of them would have been possible. Although we like computers or not we have to live with it. It is necessary to minimize the misuse of computers and find techniques to maximize the development.
