Today almost everyone knows computers and the Internet. If someone asks you “ What is the most important in your life?” maybe you will say “computer and the Internet.”
The first computer was made in 1946. It was very big but worked slowly. Today computers are getting smaller and smaller. But they worked faster and faster. What can computers do? A writer has said, “People can’t live without computers today.”
