COMPUTERS THAT DO EVERYTHING

Computer users have had the ability to play games for many years but now their performance has gone beyond playing games and they can do practically anything. Once computer diaries and calculators just helped organize our working lives, and the games provided entertainment.

The relationship between humans and computers was clearer. In the past, a computer was simply a machine and no substitute for the warmth and companionship of a human being. You can now tell a computer your problems and it can ask you about your personal feelings and aspire. There is no need for them to reach out to their family or friends and psychologists will soon be unemployed.

Many people find this situation intolerable and clearly object to the way people use computers to escape from reality.

THE FUTURE OF TECHNOLOGY

Technology has already made it possible for parents to sit at work and watch their children playing or studying at home through a computer at work and video cameras. The way technology is advancing we will soon be able to control nearly everything using a computer or central remote control sending signals to a computer.

Imagine yourself sitting in your car on the way home from work. You pick up the remote control and switch the hot water heater on for a well-deserved bath as soon as you get home. Then, while waiting at the traffic lights, you check to see if there are any messages on your answer phone, or any faxes. The wind is a bit chilly so you turn up the central heating a couple of degrees and close the curtains so that it feels warmer when you finally get home. The traffic is not moving very fast and you are stuck behind the wheel, so turn on the oven to cook the casserole you left ready this morning, and switch the washing machine.

You don't want to miss your favourite chat show so you programme the video to have it recorded. Soon you arrive home, head for the front door, you press a button and the burglar alarm is set.

Does all this sound impossible and unlikely? Well, a lot of this technology is available today and in the near future, everyone will be using it.
