Summarize the text “Computers Make the World Smaller and Smarter”
To start with, the ability of tiny computing devices to control has transformed the
way many tasks are performed. Tiny computers on a chip are used anywhere.
At first, today, computers in security systems result in safer enviroments,
computers in cars improve energy efficiency and so on. They can help people work
more creatively.
Secondly, multimedia systems are known for their educational and entertainment
value, which call ‘edutainment’. It combines text with sound, video, animation etc. ...
Distance learning and videoconferencing are concepts made possible with the use of an
electronic classroom or boardroom accessible to people in remote locations.
To sum up, people power is critical to ensuring that hardware, software, and
connectivity are effectively integrated in a socially responsible way.
