Nursultan, formerly (until 1961) Akmolinsk, (1961–92) Tselinograd, (1992–98) Aqmola, and (1998–2019) Astana, city, capital of Kazakhstan. Nursultan lies in the north-central part of the country, along the Ishim River, at the junction of the Trans-Kazakhstan and South Siberian railways.
It was founded in 1824 as a Russian military outpost and became an administrative centre in 1868. Its population had reached 33,000 when it was made an oblast (province) centre in 1939. The city’s importance was greatly enhanced during the Soviet period by the government’s Virgin and Idle Lands Campaign of the mid-1950s—Tselinograd was Russian for “City of the Virgin Lands”—and by the city’s role as capital of a kray (region) that united the five northern provinces of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic in 1960–65. There was much new construction and the establishment of various research and higher educational institutions (teacher training, agriculture, medicine, and engineering and construction).
Computers are to facilitate office and research work they should not be placed at home. This statement is very controvercial. From one point of view it's absolutely right. People should work at their workplace and computers there are of great help. They can help people to find necessary material for tgheir research and what not. It's easy to type using the computer and to exchange information. But I think that computers must be at home too. Different ideas may come to people not only at their workplace but at home as well...and here we need a computer to help us. Of course if we use it only to play games, then we should not have it at home because it's a waste of time. So to sum it up I should say that if you use computer properly it doesn;t matter if it is at home or at work. And if you don't...well, then it's just your problem.
