A Modern Invention I Can’t Live Without

A Modern Invention I Can’t Live Without
(a personal computer)
The come of the “digital decade”

A lot of things have changed since the come of the
“digital decade”. As we enter the era of modern inventions, people’s ideology
of living becomes very different, in comparison as it was fifty years ago. We
got used to such new things, which very help us in everyday life, people from
the nearest past couldn’t even dream about. Nowadays many people can’t think
their existence without such props of modern living as: huge screen TV-set and
powerful multi-channel music system, tidal wave of sound from which crashes
around the house, VHS/DVD/MP3-player and the Olympic-sized spa, Jacuzzi and
power-shower etc. In this essay I would like to write about a modern invention
personally I can’t live without.
PC I can’t live without

As for me, I can’t imagine my life without a personal
computer (PC). It is so fast, convenient and reliable to work on a PC. It helps
me in solving many routine problems and not only. Computer is extremely
multifunctional appliance. Either it is a complex calculation of some
mathematical tasks or large text word processing, HiFi-quality music composing
or high-definition video watching – computer is a very useful and labor-saving
gadget. I study on my PC, entertain myself during the freetime. It is a great
possibility to easily develop different skills yourself with the use of
Internet, containing immeasurable amount of helpful information like
encyclopedias, teaching programs, smart guides and much more. At all this is
available only through the computer.
Those old times

It is very interesting how those people in 50’s lived
without all this. At that time the word “computer” (electronic counting
machine) sounded like something really mysterious and much-dreaded. People
heard about them only by hearsay. Thus, there was no use for these great
opportunities which PC gave. However, that time computers were so big in size
that they could occupy the whole room that is inconceivable for our present
time barebone-systems (small PCs which often resemble the main block of music
systems, excluding speakers). It was a hard job of those computer system
administrators who controlled these giants: using of punched cards that leaved
much to be desired. Every command must be entered to the computer with
thousands of punched cards, so that the whole process, for instance, A4-paper
size text printing, took approximately an hour.
The best is yet to come

With this rapidly developing technological progress,
the world will not stop on its achieved successes. I think that what we have
here now, at least after several years will be called old-fashioned junk. This
is what we all should take for granted. If I was asked to live without a
computer I will refuse point-blank. In this case my pace of life can’t afford
this decision. Our homes are filled with push-button entertainment and we can’t
see in our mind’s eye what will be if we didn’t have it. Occasionally we should
be afraid of these dependences, because doubtless people are leading their life
in lazier way than it was in the past, loosing their possibilities to work and
to show their worth in it.
