Technology has helped us in every phase of life since the beginning of time. From the invention of the simple calculator to the Internet, technology has been a great factor on the way our civilization has grown. With more and more technological advances just around the corner, our civilization will continue to grow faster and faster than ever before.

After the invention of the computer this world did many inventions in a short time with the help of technology and it has changed the way of thinking and creativity of people. Computer technology makes everyday life easier for people.Much amount of computer use can also bring some side effects of it. While computer technology changes by the minute, the past 50 years are considered to be modern age of computing. Today many people have computers in their homes.

Everyone knows what a computer is and how it works. But 100 years ago, no one even heard about a computer. People had to find other ways to do the work that computers do now. Before the invention of computer people used an abacus to do math or to work with big numbers.

They had to write letters by hand or typewriter, then they had to take them to the post office to send.Without computers, people had trouble when they needed to work with huge numbers. Many inventors worked hard to make counting machines. Charles Babbage, from England, worked on plans for machines that would help people with math problems. Charles Babbage is called “The father of the Computer. ” Herman Hollerith was a teacher.

In 1884, he invented a counting machine. In 1896 Herman Hollerith, who lived in United States, started a company, which now known as IBM to make calculators, or counting machines. The counting machine was very useful.But soon people were looking for something even better.

Invention of Computer took a long time. In 1941, Great Britain and United States were fighting a war against Germany. They hoped that the machine like computers could help (Pap, 2010). In 1943, the Harvard Mark-I computer was invented which solved math problems. The first computer like Harvard Mark-I, did not have any computer screens. In the same year 1943, England built the Colossus computer.

The Colossus computer was the first electronic computer. Many people worked on Colossus computers. It could read messages written in secret code.Three years later in the United States, John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert built a better computer called ENIAC. It was fast and took 30 seconds to answers hard math problem.

It was far better than early invented computers who took 12 hours to solve same math problem. The ENIAC computers were as big as a small house (Bellis, 2013). After ENIAC many companies had built a computer. In 1981, IBM released Home computer which grows a personal computer revolution and Microsoft released MS-DOS Computer Operating System.

In 1985, Microsoft released windows based system.After, the new operating system the computers are coming out with more functionality and high-performance. Orest says, “Computer technology allows processing of information faster than the human brain. Nearly everything in our modern world is influenced by computer technology. ” Timing of traffic signals, telecommunications, and even time keeping are controlled by advanced computer technology.

“Computer technology is also used in education, business, home jobs, and healthcare, banking system, satellites and many other places. Computer technology makes our life easier, faster and comfortable” (Pap, 2010).We cannot imagine our life without computer technology. Through computer technology we can communicate with friends and family anywhere in the world with a single click of a button.

There are many computer software’s available in the market which allows us to do our daily task and communicate with other peoples. For example, Yahoo messenger, Skype. Computers save huge amount of physical storage space. Imagine how much paper would have to be used, how many trees would have to be cut just to store information, which is today on hard disks. Data stored on just one CD comparative to paper.

To store same amount of information as CD, it would use room of dozens square meters of paper and would weight thousands of kilos of tree. In today, computer technology is used to convert data from paper to digital form, also it is easy to update this information, and transfer data (Microsoft, 2013). Computer technology is responsible for the revaluation in the world’s business market. Today, there are lots of Software Companies, and production companies using advance computerized technology, which saves time in production and helps to produce perfect product.“Technology is the process of applying the finding of science and other forms id enquiry to applied situations. Production technology involves to apply the work of researchers to develop new products and processes” (The Times 100, UK).

There are a range of new technologies that are being applied to improving production methods and outputs. For example, in recent years we have seen the development of ice cream varieties and chocolate products in the confectionery industry – an example of food technology.At the same time we have seen the widespread application of Information and Communication Technology to a wide range of production method. For example, the use of computer database for online booking in the airline industry, the development of broadband services benefiting small business to communicate using internet across the country(The Times 100, UK). Company’s employee uses technology to store company’s private data, which have a very good security. To communicate with the other employees using some online messenger to do conference call, to send and receive documents.

By clinking on single button you can send or receive a bunch of documents, music or video files, anything which is available in digital form (The Times 100, UK). “Robotics provides a good example of modern production technology. Roberts involve automatic control” (Raum, 2008). Some are programmed by keying in instructions, but this is laborious and liable to error. In other cases the robot can learn to copy movements carried out by a human operator. As robots become more intelligent they increasingly have some system for checking process, for example, an electric eye on camera (Raum, 2008).

There are many advantage of using robotics technology in production area. For example, people can be replaced in mundane jobs where intelligence is not required. Robots can be used where working conditions are difficult or dangerous. “While robots are very expensive to program and install, they are economical easy to run once they have been installed” (The Times 100, UK). According to Orest, Computer technology also creates jobs for many people, for example, in software companies and in robotics workshop.Today even there are many home jobs are available on the computer using the internet.

Using the new computer technology, those people also can work who are disable or who cannot walk. Computer technology opens a world of work to disable people.No one has statistics on just how many disable people work from home as phone agent with the help of new computer technology. But the market research firm IDC says that about 112,000 home agents- both disable and not working for outsourcing firms like Willow, Alpine Access of Golden, Colo.

, and J. Lodge of Hammonton, N. J. , at the end of 2005.

That number is expected to climb to 300,000 by 2010. That does not count employees of companies that hire their own home agents. Many new jobs will go to people who are disabled or to people who care for them, several specialties said, because there are more computer programs to train them” (Joachim, 2006) . A computer is a vital part of almost every industry and job today, and sitting in front of a computer screen for hours on end has become a fact of life.The author says that, the computer allows us to get our work done quickly and more efficiently, extended periods of time on the computer can significantly increase the risk of developing one or strain which can lead to tension headaches and fatigue.

Many diseases relating to computers can be a result of spending much time with computers. Some temporary health issues an individual may have are muscle and joint pain, backache, eye strain which can lead to tension headaches, and fatigue.For example, more than 60% of American households have personal computer for the whole family to use, and more than 80% of all jobs out there require basic computer usage (States, 2012). It is no wonder that millions of Americans each year are affected with mysterious ailments, which can be linked back to misuse and overuse of computers. This problem is most commonly known as “Repetitive Strain Injury” or RSI. Most of the time, the symptoms of RSI are so subtle and evasive that 80% of people who suffer from it don’t even know that they do.

In order to find out if you actually have it, refer to the list of most common symptoms. For example, weakness, flack of endurance, tingling, clumsiness, difficulty in opening and closing hands stiffness, hands fall asleep, lack of control or coordination, cold hands. These are some example of symptoms of the RSI (States, 2012). The author says internet is the one of the biggest and most popular invention in the world of technology.

Internet is the global information system based on computer. It is interconnected with many computer networks and each network is connected with thousands of computers.Today everyone has computer at their homes, who do not have they can always go to the cybercafe or public places such as library. Students uses internet for online classes, students can attend the classes from anywhere via internet video conferencing, teachers using internet for video conferencing to take online class, student can access online library rather than going to the library. People can use internet to do live conference, live video and music streaming, for social network website to stay connected with friends and family from anywhere in the world (Pap,2010).

Internet is the big portal for the business in world market, the business over internet called e-business. Any person can buy any product from their home, by just clicking on a single button. The popularity of internet is increase day by day. “Internet was released for people in 1995. The numbers of internet user in December 1995 was 16 million people, which are the 0.

4% of the total population of the world. In March 2000, 304 million people, 5. 0% of the total populations were using internet.In December 2005, 1018 million people, 16. 0% of total population of the world were using internet.

Everyday thousands people are joining this group on who uses internet. In June 2012, 2405 million people, 34. 3 % people of total population of the world were using the internet services” (States, 2012). The internet had provided many benefits to mankind.

Internet was big revaluation for educational use, personal use, and for business use in global market. The maximum use of internet can produce some consequences of it. Computer had made the world very small and gave one tag line to the world “everything is possible”.
