Wonders of The Modern World

There are so many wonders of the world. But all of them are different in their nature.

up a new era in manufacturing through the techniques of automation, and they have
enhanced modern communication systems. They are essential tools in almost every
field of research and applied technology, from constructing models of the universe
to producing tomorrow’s weather reports, and their use has in itself opened up new
areas of conjecture. Database services and computer networks make available a
great variety of information sources. The same advanced techniques also make
possible invasions of privacy and of restricted information sources, but computer
