We are becoming increasingly dependent on computers. They are used in businesses, hospitals, crime detection and even to fly planes.
What things will they be used for in the future? Is this dependence on computers a good thing or should we he more auspicious of their benefits?
Computers are a relatively new invention. The first computers were built fifty years ago and it is only in the last thirty or so years that their influence has affected our everyday life. Personal computers were introduced as recently as the early eighties. In this short time they have made a tremendous impact on our lives. We are now so dependent on computers that it is hard to imagine what things would be like today without them. You have only got to go into a bank when their main computer is broken to appreciate the chaos that would occur if computers were suddenly removed world-wide.
In the future computers will be used to create bigger and even more sophisticated computers. The prospects for this are quite alarming. They will be so complex that no individual could hope to understand how they work. They will bring a lot of benefits but they will also increase the potential for unimaginable chaos. They will, for example, be able to fly planes and they will be able to co ordinate the movements of several planes in the vicinity of an airport. Providing all the computers are working correctly nothing can go wrong. If one small program fails disaster.
There is a certain inevitability that technology will progress and become increasingly complex. We should, however, ensure that we are still in a position where we are able to control technology. It will be all too easy to suddenly discover that technology is controlling us. By then it might be too late I believe that it is very important to be suspicious of the benefits that computers will bring and to make sure that we never become totally dependent on a completely technological world.
我们越来越依赖电脑了。它们被用于商业、医院、犯罪检测,甚至还用于驾驶飞机。
他们将来会用什么东西?这种对电脑的依赖是一件好事,还是我们应该更幸运地受益?
计算机是一项相对较新的发明。第一批计算机是50年前建造的,直到最近30年左右,他们的影响才影响了我们的日常生活。个人电脑在八十年代初就被引入了。在这么短的时间里,他们对我们的生活产生了巨大的影响。我们现在太依赖计算机了,很难想象没有它们,今天会是什么样子。你只需进入一家银行,当他们的主电脑坏了,就会意识到如果电脑突然在世界范围内被移除,会出现混乱。
未来的计算机将被用来制造更大更精密的电脑。这一前景相当令人担忧。他们将会非常复杂,以至于没有人能够理解他们是如何工作的。他们会带来很多好处,但也会增加难以想象的混乱的可能性。例如,他们将能够驾驶飞机,他们将能够协调几架飞机在机场附近的移动。如果所有的计算机都能正常工作,那么什么都不会出错。如果一个小程序失败了。
技术进步和变得越来越复杂是不可避免的。然而,我们应该确保我们仍然处于能够控制技术的位置。突然发现技术正在控制我们,这太容易了。到那时可能为时已晚,我认为对计算机带来的好处进行怀疑是非常重要的,并确保我们永远不会完全依赖于一个完全技术的世界。
