Essay in English For and against computers / Computers: For And Against with translation into Russian

Computer addicts are the minority of computer users but there is no doubt that more and more young people are computer literate. Computer studies is a subject in many schools and many young people have personal computers. About one in three hundred computer owners spend almost all their time using computers.
Ninety six per cent of them are males of all ages. All of them spend an average of twenty hours per week on home computers. The majority of the adults also use computers at work. All the computer addicts are very intelligent. They have been interested in science and technology from a very early age, and they are usually very shy people who like being alone.
Usage of computers gives them confidence. They love debugging and solving problems, developing programs and love learning programming languages. They learned to communicate with other users through computer networks and the people they met in school and work think of them as of computer experts. A few spend their time "hacking" and one addict left a message on a computer of Buckingham House.
A survey in a school showed that fewer girls are interested in computers because girls are less likely to have a computer. Even if they have one, they use them less frequently than boys. Possibly it is because we think of computers as something to do with maths and science, which are traditionally "male" subjects. Possibly it is because most of the computer teachers are men, who give the girls less attention. Possibly parents think it is less important for girls to have computer skills.
Some parents worry about computer games because they think their children won't be able to communicate with real people in the real world. But parents do not need to worry. According to research computer addicts usually do well after they have left school.
Parents also do not need to worry that computer addiction will make their children become unfriendly and unable to communicate with people. It is not the computer that makes them shy. In fact, what they know about computers improves their social lives. They become experts and others come to them for help and advice.
For most children computer games are a craze. Like any other craze, such as skate-boarding, the craze is short-lived. It provides harmless fun and a chance to escape.
If we didn't have these computer addicts, we wouldn't have modern technology. They are the inventors of tomorrow.

Computers in our lives (2)

Without a doubt, more and more young people are computer literate. Many schools teach computer science, and many young people have personal computers. Approximately one in three hundred computer owners spends almost all of their time on a computer.
Ninety-six percent of them are men of all ages. They all spend an average of twenty hours a week on home computers. Most adults also use computers at work. Computer addicts are a minority of computer users. They are all very smart. From a very early age they are interested in science and technology; These are usually very shy people who like privacy.
The computer gives them confidence. They love removing viruses and solving problems by developing programs, and love learning programming languages. They have learned to communicate with other users through computer networks, and the people they meet at school and work think of them as computer experts. Some engage in "hacking", and one computer addict even left a message on the Buckingham Palace computer.
A school survey found that girls are less interested in computers because they are less likely to be bought a computer. Even if they have one, they use it less often than boys. Perhaps this is because we are accustomed to associating computers with mathematics and science, which are traditionally “masculine” subjects. Perhaps because most computer science teachers are men who pay less attention to girls. Perhaps parents think that it is not so important for girls to have computer skills.
Some parents worry about computer games, thinking that their children will not be able to communicate with real people in the real world. But there is no reason for them to worry. According to research, computer addicts become successful people after graduating from school.
Parents also should not worry that computer addiction will make their children unfriendly and unable to communicate with people. In fact, what they know about computers improves their social life. They become experts and others turn to them for help and advice.
For most children, computer games are a craze. Like any other craze like skateboarding, this craze is short-lived. This provides safe fun and a chance to escape.
If we didn't have computer addicts, we wouldn't have modern technology. They are the inventors of tomorrow.

It is impossible to overestimate the benefits of computer technology in modern life. In addition to the most obvious, such as storing documents in one compact device, computers help broaden the horizons of modern society. Current science and production, trade and banking system, as well as healthcare are impossible without them. Modern computer technologies are very useful for human education and development. Why are they so indispensable?

Firstly, they calculate and process accurately and fast. Of course, there are some mistakes and hardware problems with computer devices but almost all of them happen because of human mistake, because of flawed computer programs created by developers. Secondly, computers help to save storage place. The tons of paper documents are replaced by digital files in a computer and can be easily found. Modern computers are created to be user-friendly. You don’t have to study for a long time to learn how to use a computer. A computer and the Internet give an access to various sources of information, libraries and galleries from the most distant places on our planet.

Computer

Today’s world is often called a computer world and it is truly so. Computer is an electronic device which can carry out a set of instructions. It is difficult to imagine the modern world of high technology without computers. Moreover, it is the fastest growing industry nowadays. Fifty years ago people had no idea what computers are and what they can do. Today, people can't imagine living a day without them. While the first computer was the size of a minibus, modern devices can fit into a palm. And the computer revolution is still going on.

The first computers were developed during the Second World War to break the codes or send secret information. They were also used to do calculations for the first atom bomb. Today, they are used to store the data, handle banking transactions, manage government files, keep statistics etc. Generally, all that computes do is calculate. They turn numbers into pictures, words and sounds. The Japanese have already created the device which responds to human language. Computers have opened a new era in many spheres of life, especially in manufacturing and communication systems.

The word “computer” was first used in 1613 in a book, written by English writer. It referred to a person, who carried out calculations. Soon the first mechanical calculator was invented by Blaise Pascal. However, the actual father of the first recognizable computer was Charles Babbage. In the first half of the 19th century he created a fully programmable mechanical device. The sophisticated analog computers appeared in the 20th century. First functional computer was called Z1 and was created by Konrad Zuse.

Today, nearly everything in the world is done with the help of computers. No man alive can do 500,000 sums in one second, whereas computers can. They have a much better memory and faster reaction. Computers have extended the power of the human mind across the existing barriers. Many fields of science are dependent on this device today. For example, medicine is almost impossible without computers. Over the last 50 years all medical information, discoveries and data have been stored there. Moreover, computers play an integral part in diagnostics and treatment.

Although there are two types of computers, analog and digital, only digital type is widely used in every field. Digital computers perform a number of operations at an unbelievable speed. For example, they can handle 2,000 million discrete operations per second. More enhanced computers handle many billions of cycles per second. There have already been several generations of digital computers or processing units.

Computer science is even taught in modern schools. It’s called IT (Information Technology). Children at secondary schools learn how to handle computing machines and store basic information. Besides using computers for IT lessons, schools need this device for test and examination purposes.
