Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given: One of the greatest advances in modern technology has been the
invention of computers. They are widely used in Industries and in
Universities. Now there is hardly any sphere of human life where
computers have not been preSsed in to service of man. We are heading fast on the close of this present century towards a situation when a computer will be as much part of man's daily life as a telephone or a calculator. Computers are capable of doing extremely complicated work
in all branches of learning. They can solve the most complex mathematical problems or put thousands of unrelated facts in order. These machines can be put to varied uses. For instance, they can
provide information on the best way to prevent traffic, or they can
count the number of times the word "and has been used in the Bible.
Because they work accurately and at high speed, they save the research worker's hard work. This whole process by which machines can be used to work for us had been called 'automation'. In the future
automation' may enable human beings for more leisure than they do
today. The coming of automation is bound to have important social
consequences. Some years ago an expert on automation, Sir Leon Bagrit,pointed out that it was a mistake to believe that these machines could
think'. There is no possibility that human beings will be controlled by
machines". Though computers are capable of learning from their
mistakes and improving on their performance, they need detailed
instructions from human beings to operate. They can never, as it were,
lead independent lives or" rule the world" by making decision of their
own. Sir Leon said that in future, computers would be developed which
would be small enough to carry in the pocket. Ordinary people would
then be able to use them to obtain valuable information. Computers
could be plugged into a national network and be used like radios. For
instance, people going on holiday could be informed about weather
conditions. Car drivers can be given alternative routes when there are
traffic jams. it will also be possible to make tiny translating machines.
This will enable people who do not share a common language to talk to
each other without any difficulty or to read foreign publication.
Computers will also be used in ordinary public hospital, by providing a
machine with a patient's systems; a doctor will be able to diagnose the
nature of illness. Similarly machines could be used to keep a check on
a patient's health record and bring it up to date. Doctors will therefore
have immediate access to a great many facts which will help in their
work. Bookkeepers and accountants too could be relieved of dull clerica work, for the tedious task of compiling and checking lists of figures could be done entirely by machines. Computers will also be able to tell the exact age a man is going to live, with the help of his blood picture. Computers are the most efficient servants man has ever had and there is no limit to the way the) can be used to improve our life style and life.
