Desktop computers are the size of televisions. Laptops are the size of big books. Now we have palmtop computers. They are small enough to put in your pocket like a bar of chocolate. Other kinds of computers are so tiny that you may be unaware of them. There isprobably one inside your TV, telephone, or washingmachine. So you probably depend on computers morethan you realize.5-212345It is common knowledge that computers are super calculators. They can calculate very fast and rarely give wrong answers. They can also type, print and draw things. They can teach you and play games with you. More importantly, they canoperate railways and fly aeroplanesand spaceships. For these reasons,we often call them electronic brains.5-312345The answer to this question is, for the time being, ‘No’.Your brain can understand the meaning of things betterand create new ideas. However, one day computers maybe able to do most things that a human brain can doand even do them better. For example, they may bebetter than doctors at doing their job.

Computers may change our lives, but will they make them better?5-412345Now you do not even need to know how to type. You can buy a program which helps the computer recognize your voice. You can talk to the computer and it will obey your commands, and write your letters!5-512345Many of today’s computers have CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives. A DVD-ROM can hold millions of pages of writing, and can also contain pictures, videos and sounds. For example, you can use your computer to read about a famous personfrom history and you can see a photograph orvideo of him or her, and even listen to themspeaking.
