We are becoming increasingly dependent on computers. They are used in business, crime (detection) and even to fly planes. What things will they be used for in future? Is this dependence on computers a good thing or should we be more (suspicious) of their benefits? Today computers are used almost everywhere, it is impossible to imagine our life without PCs, Internet, hand phones and other computer devices. It is reasonable that people look to the future of computers. In what field will be computers used for and what role will human has in this world in future? Besides, computers make our life easier, we can easily get information about any product we plan to buy or place we plan to visit over a second using personal computer and Internet. Scientists (predict) that in the nearest future it will be possible to smell a new (perfume) using Internet and watch 3D scenes at home like we do in the theater. According to forecasts of HR agencies machines will replace job of cashiers, civil and military pilots. Some corporations in Japan already selling housewife-robots, which help old people to keep their home clean. Despite the fact that computers help us, they make us dependent. Apparently, people spend more time behind monitors that ever before. And some of them feel a need for more time to be spent with people in live contact. In addition, fall out of one of the important modules of specific computer can (entail) serious consequences. Suffice to mention computer problem, occurred in the end of 1990s, problem concerned with coming year 2000 [Y2K] and (catastrophes) that were predicted. Fortunately (imminent) disasters did not happen. However, it is difficult to imagine what could be if all the predictions had occurred. We live in technological era, computers (penetrated) everywhere with all benefits they provide and all dangers they hide. However we are satisfied with them and sometimes we even thank them because they help us in communicating, studying, doing business, entertaining and saving lives in critical situations.
