Computer is the
latest miracle that has ushered in a revolution in the application of science
for the benefit of mankind. It is like a super electronic brain doing all types
of difficult calculations, keeping records and storing data for us. Its main
features are speed and accuracy. It is an appliance which can do a job in
seconds that would normally take days for hundreds of people to accomplish. It
is an appliance which can do a job in seconds that would normally take days for
hundreds of people to accomplish. Age old system of keeping records in
voluminous registers and files is gradually making way for computer-bases data
processing. It is used in schools, colleges, offices, bands, airlines, shops,
laboratories, hospitals, libraries. In the fields of medical diagnosis and
printing technology computerized machines are doing wonders. The space flights
would not have been possible without the application of computer science.
Nowadays computers are dominating every sphere of a man’s life. Though
computers yield greater productivity, they have the potential to replace human
labor and cause unemployment. While we should go ahead and reap the positive
benefits of large scale computerization, we should also keep in mind the fact
that under no circumstances should it be allowed to deteriorate the employment
situation.
