computer in the future

We are becoming increasingly dependent on computers. They are
used in business, 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?
Today computers are used almost everywhere, it is impossible to imagine our life without PCs,
Internet, hand phones and other computer devices. It is reasonable that people look to the future of
computers. In what field will be computers used for and what role will human has in this world in
future?
Besides, computers make our life easier, we can easily get information about any product we plan
to buy or place we plan to visit over a second using personal computer and Internet. Scientists
predict that in the nearest future it will be possible to smell a new perfume using Internet and
watch 3D scenes at home like we do in the theater. According to forecasts of HR agencies
machines will replace job of cashiers, civil and military pilots. Some corporations in Japan already

housewife-robots, which help old people to keep their home clean.
Despite the fact that computers help us, they make us dependent. Apparently, people spend more
time behind monitors that ever before. And some of them feel a need for more time to be spent
with people in live contact. In addition, fall out of one of the important modules of specific
computer can entail serious consequences. Suffice to mention computer problem, occurred in the
end of 1990s, problem concerned with coming year 2000 (Y2K) and catastrophes that were
predicted. Fortunately imminent disasters did not happen. However, it is difficult to imagine what
could be if all the predictions had occurred.
We live in technological era, computers penetrated everywhere with all benefits they provide and
all dangers they hide. However we are satisfied with them and sometimes we even thank them
because they help us in communicating, studying, doing business, entertaining and saving lives in
critical situations.
