The Computed Influence

The Computed Influence

Computers have been a major influence on today’s world, making this technology the one that most benefits society. Computers supply us with the ability to research properly. With it we can look up information on politics, doctors, school projects, and just about anything our heart desires. The computer supplies us with the tools and software to create and design. It allows us to write articles on programs like Microsoft Word, make presentations on PowerPoint, edit images on programs like I Photo, or take it to the web to design videos with tools like Animoto. On the computer we also satisfy our need for entertainment. With the web, we can go to youtube.com for our favorite funny short, or go to a gaming website to play a game. Although the computer has come a long way, it will continue to revolutionize our lives now and for many years to come.

Through the computer, the world does research to find out what it needs. With search engines like Google or ask.com, we can search for anything we want. If someone needs to do research for a big business meeting, the computer can bring them to an informational web site all about the numbers they need. Can anyone even think of a project or a problem they had where it was not possible to do research on the computer to find the answer? If someone can’t decide whom to vote for, they can take it to their computer. In a few seconds, they can be on a chat about which candidate is the best, or on a website on a candidate’s views and beliefs.

The computer keeps the world connected. It is vital for our world’s existence. Even the doctors, politicians, surgeons, and many other important people in today’s society need to turn to computers. Whether it is to find the right college for a politician’s educational needs or to find the latest treatment for cancer, the computer has the answer. The computer supplies us with the ways to do the research for our daily living and supplies use with the software to mold it.

While giving the world a place to do research, the computer also supplies us with the software to create and design what we need. After someone gets their research off the web, there are many things that can be done with the information.  The old poster and marker is nice, but the computer allows use to do so much more. Through tools like Microsoft Excel, people can put all of their information in very organized charts. Keynote and PowerPoint are programs that help a user make slide shows. Microsoft Word allows a user to write organized reports with ease. Those are just a few examples; the computer lets us organize, present, crop, schedule, and even stay in the loop. The software for the computer can even be taken to the internet with programs like Animoto. Animoto is a program that allows people to turn slides into animated films. The software on a computer organizes and presents the world’s data. Without computers properly displaying what we need would be a practically hopeless endeavor, and so would entertainment.

The computer lets us design and create with software, but after a long day’s work on the computer, it satisfies another need we have, entertainment. All work and no play make jack a dual boy. The computer helps us relax, and maybe have a laugh or two.

Whether it’s through the comical videos we can find on youtube.com, or the fun games that are found on the internet, the computer helps. We can even buy entertainment features for our computers, such as: music, games, and many other things. Even banks make online games for their employees to occasionally play. Even gaming systems are computers. The Xbox 360, the Play Station 3, even the Nintendo were all computers turned sideways and given a user friendly screen. Even phones are just tiny computers with specific functions. The computer even keeps us entertained through our friends. Through programs like Skype, Aim, and Twitter, we can chat, speak with, or even video chat with friends and family from great distances away. The computer helps us do work and then has the ability to keep us sane. Without the computer, many of the entertainment features we hold for granted would be gone, but the computer is here to stay.

The computer is going to greatly influence the future just as it has today’s society. The computer will always be around, for the services it offers will always be wanted and needed. Even as technology advances, the computer will advance with it staying just as vital in the future. Computers will become tinier and more efficient as time goes by. Soon the pen computer will be the entire computer. All we need will be the size of a toothbrush container. Computers will also evolve to be faster and less prone to break down. It is thought that by year 2049, computers will well surpass human computing speed. It used to be just a few years ago that 1000 super computers were needed to match the processing power of one human brain. With out the computer, the many programs we use would not exist, but as the computer continues to evolve, so will its many properties. It is safe to say the computer is here to stay and be the future’s most important technological advancement.
