Today, computers are widely used and can be found in a variety of settings, including
homes, offices, shops, hospitals, and schools. People rely on computers so heavily that many of
them get frustrated and cannot work when computers are “down”. Nowadays, computers are so
essential that they are utilised for everything from entertainment to navigation.
Computers of today are much quicker, cheaper, and smaller than those of the past. Many
modern computers are so small that they are the size of a deck of cards. Users can work from a
variety of settings thanks to notebook computers, also known as “ultra-lights,” and hand-held
Personal Data Assistants (PDAs). These computers’ ability to connect to several networks allows
users to access information from any location with greater ease and control over their time.
Future computers will be smaller and faster than current models. They may have “smart” or
artificial intelligence features like expert intelligence, neural network pattern recognition, or natural
language capabilities, and they may be as small as coins. These features will make it simpler for
users to interface with computers and manage a large amount of data from fax, email, Internet, and
phone sources. Wearable computers, DNA computers, virtual reality gadgets, quantum computers,

today.

HANOI, A CAPITAL OF TRADITIONAL CRAFTS
Hanoi has long been home to hundreds of craft villages. Over the years, many of the crafts have
developed, while some have disappeared altogether.
The heart and soul of Hanoi’s vibrant old crafts are its craftsmen and women. One such couple
are Nguyen Van Hoa and his wife Dang Huong Lan of Ba Dinh District’s Hang Than Street. They
are among the few artisans still making elaborate cardboard masks in order to preserve the
traditional culture.
Although the work itself requires many steps, the materials required are simple: newspapers,
glue, paint and paintbrushes. The first step entails tearing the newspapers to pieces and then using
glue to combine them into a mold. The masks are painted one color at a time and then laid out to
dry. Cardboard mask making is therefore dependent on dry weather and the couple can only make
about 2,000 masks per festival. These are priced from VND25.000 to VND35,000 a piece, bringing
in VND50-60 million - a sum is not commensurate with the efforts that go into making these
elaborate crafts.
Making swans out of cotton is also a traditional craft. Only artisan Vu Thi Thanh Tam of 79
Hang Luoc Street in the capital makes these swans. The swan frames are made of notebook paper
and are stuffed with cotton, then a skillful artisan puts each layer of cotton on the swan frames and
uses rice water to smooth them. The swan neck is made of steel wire and is covered by cotton. The
finished product is placed in a rattan basket with cotton around and glass-beads and silk flowers are
added for color.
The continuity of traditional crafts adds to the capital’s attractiveness in the eyes of citizens and
international visitors.
