Introduction For my term paper the field I chose was computers. I chose this field because I love computers and it s a field on the rise. When doing my research about computers‚ I tried to stay focused on a few different types of fields. I did this because I thought that doing every different type of field would not help me chose the right field for me. Computers is such a big field that it was almost no problem picking a couple of computer fields to talk about in my term paper. Preparation

A computer is an electronic device that can receive a set of instructions or program and the carry out this program by performing calculations on numerical data or by compiling and correlating other forms of information. ("Computer" Encarta). It also performs calculations and processes information with astonishing speed and precision. Computer Technology has improved our lives. It will continue to affect our future which will lead to an easier‚ less complicated lifestyle‚ with more job opportunities

The Computer Age Believe it or not‚ but the age of computers is upon us. I believe Computers are not only here to stay‚ but in my opinion computers are the wave of the future. Only a device like the computer can change the way we work‚ live‚ and think. I see computers taking us places where no man has gone before. Twenty years ago people were just not up to date with computers back then. I mean if you ask someone about a computer‚ they probably would say something like‚ what in the world are

Brief History of Computers (A Look Back at Computing) Computers have become one of the most important parts of modern society. Nearly everything that is modern required or uses computer related technology in some way. But how did computers as we know them come to exist? Did someone sitting in his lab just one day say‚ "Aha! I’ve got it! The computer?! Well‚ no‚ that is not how this happened. Rather‚ many years of brilliant ideas and research from many different individuals contributed

of components that work together to realize some objectives forms a system. Basically there are three major components in every system‚ namely input‚ processing and output. Input Output Processing Fig. 1.1: Basic System Components 2 :: Computer Applications In a system the different components are connected with each other and they are interdependent. For example‚ human body represents a complete natural system. We are also bound by many national systems such as political system‚ economic

Computers and Society Evaluating the Impact of Technology Chris Brooks Department of Computer Science University of San Francisco Evaluating Technological Impact It can be useful to think about the ways in which technology impacts the way we live our lives. Most computer scientists have a pretty positive view of technology. Is that view justified? How do we defend that view to other‚ more skeptical points of view?
