Computers and microchips have become part of our everyday lives: we visit shops and offices which have
been designed with the help of computers; we pay bills prepared by computers; just picking up a telephone
and dialing a number involves the use of a sophisticated computer system, as does making a flight
reservation or bank transaction.
Every day we encounter computers that bring to lives the instance they are switched on, for example
calculator, the car's electronic ignition, the timer in the microwave or the programer inside the video cassette
recorder, all of which use chip technology.
What makes your computer such a miraculous device? Each time you turn it on, it is a blank slate that, with
appropriate hardware and software, is capable of doing anything you ask. It is a calculating machine that
speed up financial calculations; it is an electronic filing cabinet which manages large collection of data, such
as customers' lists, accounts or inventories; it is a magical typewriter that allows you to type and print any
kind of document - letters, memos or legal documents, it is a personal communicator that enables you to
interact with other computers and with people around the world; if you like gadgets and electronic
entertainment, you can even use your PC to relax with computer games.
Nowadays, it is almost impossible to imagine life without the magic of computers
