Adult Computer Games

Monday, August 9th, 2010

The interesting thing about <strong>adult computer games</strong> is that they really don’t require any special skills to play, they are simply categorized by some people as inappropriate for children or teenagers because of their content (violence, drugs, adult situations …etc.).
<-336×280 Large Rectangle – center->
Leisure Suit Larry was one of the first <strong>adult computer games</strong>. First of all it can be admired for its complexity, the way the player interacted with the game was more complicated than Mario’s run and jump mechanism or other point and click adventure games.

The game wasn’t too complicated, but most actions had to be made by dialog, inputing commands and sentences for different objects or game characters. If you got the sentences right, there was a reaction so the game’s storyline could continue. Otherwise you wold just wounder around places in the game, basically stuck.

Its adult content in my opinion was minor: a couple of scenes with naked breasts (or a few huge pixels that resembled a topless woman), dialogs that included seducing a woman and some adult actions. There wasn’t anything a normal kid couldn’t overhear/see at home or somewhere else, but of course by definition it’s a 18+ game.

<a href=”http://en.flashgames.de/index.php?onlinegames=512″>Sextris</a> was a much simpler game, I remember playing it when I was young. It was basically Tetris on one side and a picture in the other that was revealed gradually as you made lines disappear by making complete lines. There were also other early games with adult (sexual) content, but games only got better with the advances made in 3D development.

Today there are very realistic <strong>adult computer games</strong> available, some even with multiplayer options to play “against” others on the web.

<a href=”http://www.virtuallyjenna.com/newtour-nats/index.php”>Virtual Jenna</a> is based on the famous porn star Jenna Jameson and it’s focused mostly on sexual acts, representing a completely different kind of adult games, without any interesting challenges. This game is strictly based on bodily functions, so it addresses a very different kind of adults that aren’t necessarily gamers. It almost as challenging as a game that would simulate eating or sitting on the toilet.

Other adult games, such as the ones found on <a href=”http://www.absolu-flash.com/sex-porn-games/index.php?no=13&amp;noP=1&amp;rubrique=sexe”>absolu-flash.com</a> are just fun, without realistic graphics or challenging tasks. Browser-based flash games are always the easiest way to kill a few hours, because they are relatively simple to play and work on almost any modern personal computer with an Internet connection.

Browser based games need the latest version of any popular browser and an appropriate flash plugin for it. Processing power is not really an issue, even the 1.66GHz single core Intel Atom processors can handle a flash game at a time with GMA 3150 integrated graphics or even with GMA 950.

When power is down, but you have a netbook with an internal 3G modem for Internet, you can kill some hours and calm your nerves with a browser based <strong>adult computer game </strong>until power is restored.

An Acer Aspire One can run up to 7 hours non-stop on a single charge while running flash games that don’t really need many resources.

Anyware Computer Accessories

Saturday, August 7th, 2010

<strong>Anyware Computer Accessories</strong> was founded in 2000 and as the name suggests it makes computer accessories. These accessories include many standard products (like external hard disc racks, wireless USB network adapters, card readers, USB hubs, keyboards and mice)  that are made by most other manufacturers too, but also some special ones (like smart remote controls, USB to S-ATA/IDE adapters with special features, speaker/card reader/USB hub combos …etc) that are worth examining. We’ll find out later which accessories are actually made by Anyware.
<-336x280 Large Rectangle - center->
PI-FHB05-EGG looks like an egg, but sounds like a speaker and can be used as a card reader and USB hub.

Although it doesn’t do anything special, it is a very practical product, ideal for people who don’t need very powerful speakers and have little available desk space for all sorts of cables and accessories. There are two things that are not clear about this device. It can be found on the website of a manufacturer called <a href=”http://www.pimfg.com/Product-Detail/PPII-FHB05-EGG”>PI Manufacturing Corp.</a>, so it’s more likely that Anyware just sells it or it bought the license. The other unclear thing is about the type of connection it uses, just USB or USB + 3.5mm stereo jack ? On the back of the main speaker there is one port in the middle that isn’t specified what it’s for.

Another interesting device is a mouse combined with a keypad, a crossover that resulted in a very big mouse or a small keypad. Either way it doesn’t seem very practical, although it makes some sense for right handed users to cover the keypad while they’re using the mouse, because usually the keypad is also used by the right hand.

The other mouse + keypad combo is more practical, because it’s easier to switch from using one device to using the other. They are also in a very comfortable position, your hand practically stays in the same position when using either device.

On newegg.com it’s listed as “currently unavailable”, but AnywareUS is specified as the manufacturer and mediagateusa.com as the official website. Usually if a bigger manufacturer unites with a smaller one, it moves the product support page to its own website (ex: when AMD purchased ATI or Seagate purchased Maxtor). There isn’t enough information on their websites to determine how they are related, but feel free to leave a comment if you figure it out.

In the keyboard category Anyware has two flexible and water resistant keyboards: FOLD-2000 (PS2) and FOLD-3000 (USB).


They are basically the same product, with different plug type (PS2/USB) and color. Keyboards are known to be the main target of coffee and other kinds of drink spills, and also they are usually full of bacteria, so the water resistance feature solves both of these problems.

ME-600 OTG is another practical accessory from <strong>Anyware Computer Accessories</strong>.

It’s a battery powered external hard disk rack that also serves as a backup device on the go for any simple storage unit with a USB port such as USB flash drives, mp3 players, 2.5” external hard drives, digital cameras …etc. Yes, external hard drives too because the internal Li-Ion battery can provide enough power for almost any 2.5” notebook hard drive. According to my calculations 2 x 3.6V x 780mA can provide 2 x 5V x 500mA (500mA being the maximum power allowed on a single USB 2.0 port in a computer).

Almost 1 year has passed since Windows 7 was released, but Anyware still advertises its remotes as Vista Remote controls for Windows Vista Home Premium and Ultimate.

It’s unclear whether GP-IR02BK will work on Windows 7 or not, but its capabilities clearly recommend it for any present and future operating system.

The special feature of this remote is that it can imitate any infrared remote signal by learning, and not just by selecting it from a list like most universal remote controls work, although <a href=”http://anywareus.com/products/misc/gpir02bk.html”>Anyware</a> didn’t specify how it does that exactly, please comment if you know.

386 and 486 computer parts

Friday, August 6th, 2010

The 80386 microprocessor architecture was developed and introduced by Intel in 1985. It may have appeared to be groundbreaking new technology at the time, but little did they know then that it will be true for the next 25 years. We’re in 2010 and most personal computers are still using operating systems based on <a href=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/80386″>i386</a> (aka x86 or 32bit) technology, although all computer processors support the next big thing: 64bit architecture (aka x64 or 64bit).
<-336×280 Large Rectangle – center->
It seems that it will take a lot of time to make the transition to 64bit, mostly because users are not yet forced to adopt this relatively new technology. 64Bit operating systems have one huge advantage over 32bit, they could address a huge quantity of system memory up to 256TB (instead of the 4GB limit for 32bit operating systems). Microsoft for example decided to limit maximum addressable system memory to 192GB for Windows 7 (PRO, Enterprise and Ultimate) and to 2TB for Windows Server 2008 (R2 too).

Personally I didn’t upgrade my computer when 80386 processors became available in my price range, missing a huge step in computer hardware development. From a 12MHz 80286 processor with 2MB of RAM I upgraded directly to a 33MHz i486SX, which had a lot of extra features (compared to the 80286).

The biggest advantage of this upgrade was the 8 memory slots that could support 32MB of system memory (8 x 4MB modules). This 486SX computer stayed in the family for a long time, we even ran Windows 98 on it when we upgraded the hard drive to 1GB (for about 100$).

At the time <strong>386 and 486 computer parts</strong> were basically the same, removable processors used the same socket main boards, so users could easily upgrade even if the performance difference (between 386SX and 486SX or 386DX and 486DX) was insignificant.

Hard drives in that era came in sizes from 40MB to 2GB, and they were all supported by both processors (by their motherboards and hard disc controllers), although there was some kind of barrier around 500MB before both chips were simultaneously available, but it wasn’t common knowledge, mostly because no one that still used first generation 80386 processors could afford a hard disc close to 500MB. When <a href=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cd-rom”>CD-ROMs</a> were introduced they didn’t have this problem if you had an operating system that could support the 650/700MB file system.

Floppy drives are not worth mentioning because they were amongst the worst technologies ever developed. Right from the start they were so primitive that new 3.5” 1.44MB drives could be used with 8088XT (or older) systems too (although only in 720K mode) so data could be transferred with these downgraded floppy disks from a brand new 80486DX (or later) machine to a 8088XT and vice versa.

Video cards were still very primitive and they were connected through 8bit (shorter) or 16bit (longer) ISA slots.

Other<strong> 386 and 486 computer parts </strong>included special hard disk controllers that also supported some kind of early RAID features, network cards, dial-up modems and so on.

The dial-up modems had a life exactly like the floppy disc drive, with the least improvements over the years. On the picture you can see a very old ISA slot modem next to a model made for PCI slots that’s  still used today. Who knows what the future will bring, but what we can say for sure is that some technologies are never  improved significantly (they never become practical), while others double their speed, capacity and/or quality in every cycle (6-12months).

Free Computer Wallpapers

Friday, August 6th, 2010

Wallpapers are an easy way to customize the main screen of any digital device. For mobile phones and other hand held devices they usually have to be bought from an on-line store for prices around $1.

Before going into where and how to get free computer wallpapers it needs to be said that high resolution wallpapers (but low resolution ones too) take up a lot of system memory and sometimes need to be reloaded when a program closes and the background becomes visible again. This was mostly an issue when average computer systems had just a few megabytes of memory, but used almost the same resolution monitors and background images as today. On slow computers with minimal installed memory, just enough to run the operating system I strongly advise against using background pictures and visual effects.

Free computer wallpapers are all around the web now, but most of them look average, and that’s not someone with taste would desire.
<-336×280 Large Rectangle – center->
Putting pictures of celebrities as the computer desktop background is one of the worst clichés, just like pictures of sport cars and cute animals.

Professional computer wallpapers can easily be found on google.com simply by searching for “free wallpaper”. I have to admit that the results are not quite what I expected, the big majority of the wallpapers displayed on google.com (image section) are very artistic and represent exceptional aesthetic value.




Photographs like this, taken in nature, are very relaxing to look at. If you don’t mind spending lots of minutes looking at it this (or something similar) may be the ideal background for your desktop. It can be downloaded from here, but you may also want to check out other free offers on the same website.



Pictures with patterns and blurry parts are best avoided, because looking at them just adds to the eyestrain usually suffered during work on the computer. Something like this may not have any artistic value, but speed and vehicle enthusiasts may find it very calming if it doesn’t have blurry parts of course. Dolphins are both beautiful and intelligent, so combined with a spectacular sunset, a picture like this depicts a very special part of nature, not accessible for just anyone.



Cute drawings from stories is another way to go, although they have fewer details to admire.

Whatever your taste dictates, there are a couple of things you should take under consideration. Choose wallpapers with the appropriate aspect ratio. For example cramming 4:3 images into 16:9 screens won’t have the desired result.

Resolution is also very important, you should always use high resolution (higher than the resolution of your monitor) pictures as background. Although more system memory is used this way, you don’t want your desktop looking like a satellite TV image during bad weather or solar flares.

Play basketball on the computer

Friday, August 6th, 2010

Sports in general is one of the strangest things to play on a computer. The whole point of sports is to keep you fit and healthy, while you may also win competitions and make a living of it if you’re good enough.

You may think that a great computer game can teach you skills and tactics in different sports, but the truth is that it doesn’t, because it dumbs down very complex physical movements to a relatively simple key combination.
<-336×280 Large Rectangle – center->
At most, these games offer in-door entertainment and they work on your reflexes (to push buttons).

Even the recent development of motion-sensitive input devices like the WII has or the recently released Microsoft Kinect don’t offer experiences close to the real thing. These rigid devices detect a limited number of movement types and are very inaccurate. For example if you learn to play Tennis perfectly on a WII doesn’t mean that you’ll be able to hit a real tennis ball with a real racket.

Basically computer games offer fun, motion sensitive consoles offer fitness, but no combination of these two is similar to the real sports. For example playing basketball on the computer is very similar to playing soccer or football, although in real life you need completely different skills for them.

People have been playing on computers since the first text-based games were invented in the ’60s.

The first basketball games for computers looked like this:




Text based, but color graphics, and very little movement on the screen. The good thing about these games was that they stimulated the player’s imagination, mostly because there wasn’t much to see on the screen, just large dots (rectangular shaped so-called pixels).

The first more serious basketball game for computers came in 1990, and was made by SEGA. This game had more acceptable fake-3D graphics, which means that players could move in all four directions on the playing field and also jump, throw …etc.




Because it supports two-player mode many have played this game for many hours a day. It had most of the features of the latest basketball games played today. Basically game programmers just added graphics and better game dynamics, but you have the same controls as in 1990. Eight directions to move, pass, throw and a few tactical moves to fool your opponent.



One might argue that now it can be played in 3D and the viewing angle can be changed during game, but it doesn’t really offer anything extra, it just makes player orientation more difficult.

To play basketball on the computer you don’t need to invest in any software. If you’re not pretentious there are many browser-based free games that offer more complex game play than the old 1990s SEGA game, although most of them are aimed at kids.

For advanced gamers there are many basketball game titles playable on some of the slowest computers that might still work today. To be able to play you just have to distinguish the players by their numbers and the two teams. High detail graphics is not essential.

One of the biggest sport game developers is EA Sports with the “It’s in the game” slogan, you may want to check out their website.

Organizing Camera And Computer Accessories And Cords

Friday, August 6th, 2010

When the first personal computers were launched there were very few accessories you can connect to them. Some had a single case for the screen and keyboard so you just needed to plug it in a power outlet, which meant only one cord traveling down from the top of the table to the wall outlet or a power bar on the floor. While in practice even one cord can get tangled, it usually wouldn’t create notable problems.

Today an average computer has at least six USB ports, a COM port, one LPT (parallel port), one LAN port, at least three audio inputs/outputs, a VGA port, two PS2 ports …and so on. This high level of connectivity can lead you to purchase and use at least 15-20 accessories with only one computer.

In this case organizing camera and computer accessories and cords becomes a serious problem, because if 10 cord get tangled and you quickly need to remove one, all kinds of things can happen from extreme cursing to ripping some cords or damaging some plugs and ports.
<-336×280 Large Rectangle – center->
The first step to prevent such a situation is to mark each wire so you can quickly identify the one you may want to pull out. Cordotz is one of the manufacturers that makes plastic tags for wires, which are both useful and pleasant to look at. The retractable USB cable is also a great idea, but must laptop users are already familiar with such products, all laptop accessory kits include at least a mouse with a retractable cable, some even have retractable LAN, audio and modem cables.




These accessories come in handy around desktops too, because fixed length cables are almost never the right size.

Manufacturers are working on the problem, almost every computer accessory can be bought in a wireless version too. Keyboards and mice are amongst the best candidates for wireless, because they are perfected to a very high level, two AA (rechargeable) batteries can last up to 6-12 months on a single charge.




Webcams unfortunately need a lot of power and cannot run on batteries for a long time, so manufacturers simply skipped the wireless solution, but they’ve managed to put webcams in monitors above the LCD panel, just like in laptops.

Although this solution doesn’t really reduce the number of cables because a USB cable will have to be plugged into the monitor, but at least the webcam is in an optimal position for video chat and you don’t have to worry about it falling off (like the models that grip the top of the monitor). For digital cameras developers have come up with the strangest idea to transfer pictures to your computer: a Wi-Fi memory card.

It makes sense if you think about it, this way it can be fitted in any digital camera without having to modify it’s hardware. You just insert the card into the slot and it becomes a small wireless file server.

This invention really eliminates the need for an extra USB cable.

Organizing camera and computer accessories and cords is much easier if you use as many wireless accessories as possible. Printers were amongst the first accessories to receive a LAN module, but today they also have Wi-Fi for easy access.




Power cords are still in the works, today the best way to eliminate them is by using electromagnetic induction, just like traditional transformers, but with separated circuits one in the laptop and the other on the table (or somewhere nearby). The problem with this technology is its low efficiency, because power has to travel long distances. Today there are working prototypes that send power with ~25% efficiency over distances of a couple of feet. More feasible is its use in mobile phone to charge, although efficiency is still not so good even when surfaces are almost touching.



In conclusion Wi-Fi (or Bluetooth) is the best solution, because no matter how well you organize your wires, if they move they inevitably tangle.

Computer Backup

Monday, July 19th, 2010

When we work on computer, we need to take some precautions. The most important thing is to make sure the computers are protected while we use them. A very strong anti-virus could do the trick. It can protect against all malware programs aimed to destroy our machines. There are situations when anti-viruses are not enough to protect your computer. In this case, you must definitely find a way around it. A safe way to protect your computer is to perform backups.
<-336x280 Large Rectangle - center->
A <strong>computer backup</strong> can be described as the action of storing the files in your computer on a medium that is different from your hard drive (an external medium). The main reason behind <a href=”http://free-backup.info/computer-backup-made-easy.html”><strong>computer backups</strong></a> is the <a href=”http://technorati.com/technology/it/article/symform-improves-its-unique-crowd-sourced/”>protection</a> of the files: in case the computer’s hard drive is damaged, the backups will save the files you had on the drives and will make it possible for you to restore them, as soon as your problem is solved.

Until recently, the easiest way to back up was by means of floppy. The floppy disks were those who stored the information in case anything happened. Floppy are no longer available these days, especially since the new generations of computers, laptops mainly, are no longer equipped with the floppy drive. In this case, another media of storage are requested. Besides, in order to store everything one may have on a computer, it would take millions of floppy disks, given that one floppy can only store 1.4 megabytes.<

CD-ROMs on the other hand hold a lot more. They can store up to 800 megabytes and, what is even more interesting, they don’t get infected by viruses or any other sort of malware program. DVD burners also are very well received by those who need to back up their computers. The problem with these storage devices is that they are a little more difficult to write onto. In order to burn onto CD-ROM or a DVD, you must have installed on your computer a special burner. There are computers who have CD/DVD readers, but they don’t have burners. Then you have a problem. If you happen to have a burner (or buy a computer equipped with it), you must learn how to burn onto CD/DVD. The computer will guide you through it. Is not that difficult.

You may back up the information on your computer by using a USB removable device. Unfortunately, these computer jumpers act like part of the memory, thereby they can get infected by viruses. Therefore you must be very careful. There are also the memory cards you can use. If the files you need to back up are not so many you may use sending them to email. It is the easiest way and so far the safest.

Any device you choose, it is important to perform computer back ups. If not for safety at least for speed. Backing up files on removable media will allow your computer to operate at a higher speed.

Computer Disposal

Monday, July 19th, 2010

As much as we need computers to help us with our daily tasks, there comes a day when we must consider dismantling our machines or throwing them away altogether. Like all technical devices, computers reach a moment when they must be disposed of. It is most of the times due to the overuse. It is sometimes because the model you have is obsolete and a new one must replace it, so that you have the possibility to install upgrades and new programs.
<-336x280 Large Rectangle - center->
What do you do when you decide to <a href=”http://www.computerhope.com/disposal.htm”><strong>dispose </strong></a>of the old <strong>computer</strong>? It is not so easy. You don’t just dump it in the garbage. Why not? Because the parts may still be used and the dealers may still give you a little something for them.

Take batteries for instance. There are very many batteries used these days. That puts a very serious environmental risk. There are more than 500 laws in America that compel you to make sure you dispose appropriately of your computer batteries. To avoid complications, just contact a company that recycles these pieces. Companies such as Battery Solutions, RBRC, GNB acquire ink cartridges. You cannot dump used cartridges either. They, too, pollute, you know!

It is very important to know that under no circumstance should you try to dispose of the batteries by burning. If you burn them, they will explode, thus placing you in a great jeopardy.

Many computer companies have a recycling program. You don’t have to feel the computer like a burden in your house. There are places where you can donate. Why not donate them? If your computer is not completely wore off, you can give it for free to people that have been less fortunate than you in life. They would appreciate it. There are companies that trade or recycle all brands of computers: Dell, Apple, Gateway, Lexmark, NEC and many more.

Intercon Solution, for example, is a company that performs this kind of activities. It recycles all parts: mainframes, monitors, CPUs, peripherals: printers, modems, bridges, hubs, copy machines, radios, CD players, telephones and many more.

There is a company called Back Thru the Future Microcoputers, Inc., one of the largest <strong>recyclers </strong>in the US. It is a women’s business and it <strong>recycles microcomputers</strong> for corporations, educational institutions, government and other institutions or private contractors. The company is making sure these older devices don’t become a technological waste.

United Recycling is a company that disassembles and de-manufactures computers and has a very important role in preserving the environment. Ecycling.com is a nationwide recycle provider. The company has very many contacts with environmental agencies and established drop off points.

There are companies whose specialty is the recycling of monitors. Printer manufacturers are also provided with recycling programs that make it possible to save these devices from becoming a threat to environment.

The companies that receive computers for donations (there are very many such institutions) have a binding request: the machine must not be labeled as “beyond repair”. Makes perfect sense.

Scary Computer Pranks

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

I don’t like pranks. In spite of the fact that I do have a very good sense of humor, I have never appreciated a prank, even though some are considered to be actually funny. Maybe it is because I like predicable things, and pranks are not by definition. Maybe I don’t like surprises, which is another problem.
<-336x280 Large Rectangle - center->
Thing is pranks are not my favorite. There are a lot of people though who appreciate them. Regular pranks catch people off guard many times, and that seems to amuse them, although it scares the living hell out of them. <strong>Computers</strong> couldn’t avoid <strong>pranks</strong>. Not when you can perform pranks that are so well done. Pranking computer geeks invented software programs that surprise users and scare them. They are potentially harmless, and are made for self-amusement too. The victims of these pranks are people who don’t employ security precautions on their computers, and are almost ignorant of programming basics.

There are pranks that are not meant to be funny. Some of these little programs are intended to induce viruses or spyware. They may damage our email account or even the program that generates them. So, not all the pranks are funny. They make us laugh while they destroy our machines. There is a <strong>computer <a href=”http://www.buzzle.com/articles/scary-computer-pranks.html”>prank </a></strong>that is called “scare face”. It reminds us of a famous movie, but the face that appears on the computer is far different from that of the movie. This face appears on the computer screen and stays there for a few moments, or for a few minutes, depending on the settings. It goes like this. You activate this little program, then you invite a friend or a co-worker to give you a hand with something you’re working on. The scary face acts like a little bomb. When it goes off, your colleague will have his/her share of the scary face. To make sure it creates the expected reaction, choose a scary face that screams at the user.

“Spot the difference” is a more intellectual prank. It consists in sending someone on the email a message that contains two pictures that are perfectly identical. In the mail you ask the person you send the mail to to detect a few differences between the two images. It is like a quiz test. The recipient of your email may spend days in front of the computer trying to determine how smart they are and how many differences they can spot.

Online test prank refers to detecting the accuracy of the hearing sense. You lure your victim into taking the test, assuring them that the volume level is not too high and the sounds are soft. When you ask them to increase the sound volume, you place a horrific screech on the headphones. It will scare the wits out of everybody. It cannot fail.

Click and watch is a prank that creates a bridge to the illegal pranks. This prank sends you a message that informs you the hard drive is destroyed. It will definitely ruin your day. Are you not entertained?

Why Are Computers So Important

Friday, July 16th, 2010

<p style=”text-align: justify;”>We all agree that <a href=”http://www.letusfindout.com/why-are-computers-so-important/”><strong>computers changed our lives</strong></a> for the better in so many ways that we can hardly comprehend the scope of the improvement they brought. Everything became easier, more affordable, and at the same time more complicated. Computers reduced distances between people, they reduce the time allocated to completion of one task or another. Almost every field found has a way in which computers can provide assistance.
<-336x280 Large Rectangle - center->
At first computer was designed to serve scientists and engineers in their detailed researches but they became soon after they were placed on the market a tool that is indispensable. Why is that? Because they work fast, at low cost, they are more precise than human mind. In fact these days even exams are assisted by computers. Computers lack motif to favor on candidate or another. Computers can perform computations human mind would require a thousand fold its natural capacity to cope with. That is a reason to keep a computer around, right? Beats the hell out of hiring one thousand scientists (assuming they are so many in the whole world).

Let’s try and see some fields of activity computer really made a substantial contribution. Banking system benefits from computing industry to the fullest extent. They keep track of all the money they have, they make transactions, payments, and every thing a bank does goes through a computer. Since we are here, let’s not forget the stock exchanges that also operate on computers. It may be that banking is the most computer-relying domain.

Communications are the second field that benefits from computer development. In fact contemporary communications are based entirely on computers. Telephone companies use computers, cell phone companies have even turned their devices into computers. The phone companies provide Internet for computers these days, and television cable that runs through computer also. Computers took these classical forms of communication to the next level (I have a feeling that it is not the ultimate level, not by a long shot). Email practically killed the postmen; messenger is about to do the same to telephones and the examples may go on for ever.

Computers have an important saying in medicine also. They have the ability to diagnose many diseases and predict the cure more accurately than a person can. There are many devices that use computers to get a view of internal organs in the human body. The image you see with your child in the womb of his/her mom is also interpreted by the computer.

Education uses computers at a large scale. There is no school in the civilized world without computers. You must learn the basics of computers, because without them no one will ever hire you in a rewarding job. Media today also operates on computers. The books and the newspapers are now edited on computers, posted on the Internet, promoted on the Internet, and sold on the Internet. Television can be seen on the Internet, and there may be channels that broadcast on the Internet only.
