“Computer Dependence”

We are becoming increasingly dependent on computers. They are used in business, hospitals, crime detection and even to fly planes. What things will they be used for in future? Is this dependence on computers a good thing or should we be more suspicious of their benefits?

Computer is a relatively new invention. Computers were invented about fifty years ago. However they came in extensive use some thirty years back. Personal Computers were put in use some times in the year 1980. In this short spell computers made tremendous impact on our lives. We are now so much dependent on computers that life without computers can’t be imagined. Imagine the amount of chaos that would occur if Railway Ticket Booking, Air Booking, Banking computers fails. Or they are removed world wide.

Now computers are available in the note book form known as lap tops that are portable and can be carried any where. Even Palmtops are also available now. None the less the handy cell phones now have numerous features of computers. Computers are used in Human health monitoring, Air traffic run and control, Banking, Rail & Air booking etc.

With the time tremendous development has been made in the field of computers. We must be fully conversant with the latest technological developments, modus operandi, operation and maintenance of the computers and systems. This calls for a high degree of knowledge and skills. If we do not have adequate knowledge of computer systems a day may come when system collapses and we may not be able to restore it and we may be rendered totally helpless.

In a nutshell, we are totally dependent on computers; we may not become suspicious about its benefits. However we must have a foresightedness and preparedness to over power contingencies that we may have to face due to random system failure.
We must “Hope For The Best and Prepare For The Worst”.
