Кто найдет все антонимы к ниже словам в тексте, мне просто лень делать :( Computers in modern society
1. The word "computer" comes from a Latin word which means "to count". A computer is really a very special kind of counting machine. Initially, the computer was designed as a tool to manipulate numbers and thus solve arithmetic problems. Although designed originally for arithmetic purposes at present it is applicable for a great variety of tasks.
2. Nowadays computers may be stated to have become an important and powerful tool for collecting, recording, analysing, and distributing tremendous masses of information.
3. Just as television has extended human sight across the barriers of time and distance, so the computers extend the power of the human mind across the existing barriers. They multiply the capacity of the mind to deal with information in endless variations and almost limitless quantity.
4. Viewed in the contemporary scene and historical perspective the computer simulates man. Indeed, two important and highly visible characteristics of man are his intelligence and his ability to perform in and control his environment. That is why it is quite clear that man's attempts to understand the phenomena of intelligence control and power have lead to simulations of his brain, of himself and of organizational and group structures in which he most often finds himself.
5. Surely, there are similarities with human brain, but there exists one very important difference. Despite all newest achievements and innovations, the so-called electronic brain must be programmed by a man.
6. A computer is nothing more than a collection of circuits that do a few simple tasks, at one time. The key is the speed at which these circuits operate and signals that control the flow of electricity through the circuits.
7. Today it would be difficult to find any sphere of human activity, which could do without computers. In science computers make calculations and analyses masses of measurements, such as sequential positions and velocities of a spacecraft and solve extraordinary long and complex mathematical problems, such as the trajectory of spacecrafts. In commerce they record and process inventories, purchases (накладные, покупки), bills, payrolls (счета, платежные ведомости), bank deposits and the like. In industry they monitor and control manufacturing processes. In government they keep statistics and analyze economic information.
8. Although intended for different purposes computers virtually do not differ in structure. Regardless of their size and purpose most computer systems consist of three basic elements: the input-output unit, the memory hierarchy and the central processing unit: The input-output section is the path whereby information is fed into the computer or taken out of it. The memory hierarchy stores the instructions and the data so that they can be retrieved quickly on demand by the central processing unit (CPU). The CPU controls the operation of the entire system by issuing commands (подавать команды) to the other parts of the system and by acting on the responses.
