Computer — Компьютер

Computers appeared in people’s life not long ago. In the middle of the 20th century common people had no idea about them. In 1951 the first commercially available computer was introduced. In 1975 personal computers appeared.

The Importance of Computers

It is hard to imagine modern life without computers. The sphere of their application is very wide.

Most offices are equipped with computers to make calculations and work with documentation. Surgical operations which were not previously possible are performed thanks to computer technologies. Technologies are also used in modern education both by students and teachers.

The Role of Computers in Teens’ Lives

Teenagers use computers for many purposes. Firstly, they play computer games, watch cartoons and films. Secondly, they do school tasks, read books and find various information on the Internet.

A comparatively new trend is communicating online. Such applications as Skype give an

opportunity to talk to people who may be very far away in real time.

Some Threats Computers Bring

Computers do not have only a positive influence on children. One of the threats is being captured by a virtual reality. Some kids spend so much time at the computer that they forget about real people around them.

Consequently they will lack important social skills in the future. Sitting at the computer children spoil their eyes and posture. So, adults should be very attentive to how long their kids use computers.

Компьютер и его история

Компьютеры появились в жизни людей не так давно. В середине 20 века простые люди не имели понятия о них. В 1951 году был внедрен первый коммерчески доступный компьютер. В 1975 году появились персональные компьютеры.

Важность компьютеров

Трудно представить современную жизнь без компьютеров. Сфера

их применения очень широка.

Большинство офисов оснащено компьютерами для вычислений и работы с документацией. Ранее недоступные хирургические операции сегодня выполняются благодаря компьютерным технологиям. Технологии также внедрены в современном образовании, ими пользуются как студенты, так и преподаватели.

Роль компьютеров в жизни подростков

Они используют компьютеры для различных целей. Во-первых, играют в компьютерные игры, смотрят мультфильмы и фильмы. Во-вторых, делают школьные задания, читают книги и находят различную информацию в интернете.

Сравнительно новая тенденция — общение онлайн. Такие приложения, как Skype, позволяют в режиме реального времени общаться с людьми, которые находятся очень далеко.

Угрозы, связанные с компьютерами

Компьютеры оказывают не только положительное влияние на детей. Одна из угроз — вовлечение в виртуальную реальность. Некоторые дети так много времени проводят за компьютером, что забывают о реальных людях вокруг них.

В результате они будут лишены важных социальных навыков в будущем. Сидя за компьютером, дети портят глаза и осанку. Поэтому взрослые должны быть очень внимательны к тому, как долго их дети пользуются компьютерами.
