Thus began one of my earliest encounters encounters with the device known as the computer. Naturally, wë aren't using computers computers to carry out frivolous conversation conversation here at the Statesman's editorial department. But teaching a computer to call you by your first name is a good way to get acquainted acquainted with the machine. And it somehow makes a computer seem more "human". Just don't make the mistake of believing believing they are really human. Often, we imagine that animals, especially pets, have human qualities. qualities. So it's only natural that we ascribe ascribe similar characteristics to the friendly neighbourhood computer. In fact, the computer has no such personality. One of the reasons people sometimes swear at computers computers is due to the fact that they haven't the natural common sense of a gnat. They'll do only what they're told and you have to know how to tell them. At least, that's how they work at the moment. Probably the best way to think of a computer is to compare it to an idiot savant. These are the legendary legendary people capable of adding 20- digit numbers in their heads but unable unable to tie a shoelace. A computer is similar. It can do all kinds of complex complex deeds. But it can only perform its tasks after it has been told what to do. Computers are put to work in the editorial department for writing stories and photo cutlines. In other words, they, are rendering the typewriter typewriter all but obsolete., The existence of these machines in our office is further example of how the computer revolution is affecting affecting the workplace. Most recently, the doomsayers have warned that the devices will produce a new elite composed of those who have access to computers. computers. The rest of the population would be locked into some kind of serfdom connected with menial jobs Rubbish. One of the things about the new microcomputers is the fact that you don't have to be part of any elite to be able to learn how to use, them to do your everyday job. The day is coming when we will begin to take computers for granted and integrate them into our everyday everyday life. It's something like the history history of the automobilé; before long, nobody was running to the livin- groom windows to gawk at every car which rumbled down the street. Will computers change the world? Of course they will. And the changes will be similar to ones caused by the automobile, air travel, atomic energy, and all the other things that have had their effect effect on life in the 20th Century. But our worst fears about the effects effects of the computer revolution revolution will not likely happen because the future has a habit of turning out much differently than we imagine-- -even if we make our predictions with the aid of computers.
