FUTURE NEEDS OF COMPUTER

What is a Computer?

A computer is an electronic device, which executes software programs. It consists of 2 parts-hardware and software . The computer processes input through input devices like mouse and keyboard. The computer displays output through output devices like color monitor and printer. The size of a computer varies considerably from very small to very big. The speed of computers also has a very large range. Computers have become indispensable in today’s world. Millions of people use computers all over the world. Computer is being used in almost every field of life.

Some of the present uses: Word Processing software automatically corrects spelling and grammar mistakes. If the content of a document repeats you don’t have to type it each time. Internet is a network of almost all the computers in the world. You can browse through much more information than you could do in a library. That is because computers can store enormous amounts of information. You also have very fast and convenient access to information. Through E-Mail you can communicate with a person sitting thousands of miles away in seconds. There is chat software that enables one to chat with another person on a real-time basis. Video conferencing tools are becoming readily available to the common man. With desktop publishing, you can create page layouts for entire books on your personal computer. With computer, You can diagnose diseases. You can learn the cures. Software is used in magnetic resonance imaging to examine the internal organs of the human body. Software is used for performing surgery. Computers are used to store patient data. All financial transactions are done by computer software. They provide security, speed and convenience. One can book air tickets or railway tickets and make hotel reservations online. Telecommunication software is widely used here. Also all mobile phones have software embedded in them. Defense software is embedded in almost every weapon. Software is used for controlling the flight and targeting in ballistic missiles. Software is used to control access to atomic bombs. Instead of a book now it is easier to learn from an E-learning software. You can give online exams and get instant results. You can check your examination results online. Shops and supermarkets use software, which calculate the bills. Taxes can be calculated and paid online. Accounting is done using computers. One can predict future trends of business using artificial intelligence software. Software is used in major stock markets. One can do trading online. There are fully automated factories running on software. The computer software authenticates the user and dispenses cash.

Computers have leapfrogged the human society into another league. It is used in each and every aspect of human life. They will spearhead the human quest of eradicating social problems like illiteracy and poverty. It is difficult to imagine a world bereft of computers. This revolutionary technology is indeed a boon to the human race. We still need a lot from computers.

In a few years, everywhere you turn, a computer will be there to assist, to inform or simply to play with.

In the past twenty years, there has been a dramatic increase in the processing speed of computers, network capacity and the speed of the internet. These advances have paved the way for the revolution of fields such as quantum physics, artificial intelligence and nanotechnology. These advances will have a profound effect on the way we live and work, the virtual reality we see in movies like the Matrix, may actually come true in the next decade or so.

Future needs of computer in anesthesia: Computers are beginning to appear in the operating room and in intense care units (ICU). At this time most computers are reserved for the complex cases. However, we still need to discern what role the computer could play in the future, for routine cases. An outline of conceivable integrated computerized system in anesthesia is presented. Computer enthusiasts tend to suggest that computers are particularly helpful in complicated cases where many variables must be monitored, interpreted and charted. These enthusiasts may be correct. But computer is likely to establish a secure place in the operating room only after it has proven its value in average, routine, uncomplicated case.
Role of Artificial intelligence in future: We need Robots to replace factory workers. We need them to act as surgeons, pilots, astronauts, etc. According to Crevier, A computer scientist, robots will take over clerical workers, the middle managers and on up. Eventually what society will be left with are machines working at every store and humans on every beach. As Moravec, an other scientist puts it, we'll all be living as millionaires.
Future Uses of Computers in History: The goal of this portion of the document is to look at the future uses of computers in the discipline of History. It will also attempt to assess how the computer will change historical research, both advantageously and detrimentally. Currently, there is no way to ensure that specific technologies will still be relevant, or if new ones will not appear in the future. In the following, an attempt is made to project what the uses of the computer will be, based on the current uses and limitations previously discussed.

There are several areas where the computer is needed to be used for academic historical research, they are:

Communications;
Publication of information;
Historical Reconstruction;
Information gathering;
The continuation of the current uses, updated and adapted with the changes in technology.

There are also areas where the computer is needed to be used for more populist applications, they are:

In schools to introduce students to the discipline;
In an environment which will allow the participation of non-academics in academic discussions.

Need of vehicles for the blind persons: In present World, when everyone is independent, handicap persons are the people who want to do some thing on their own, who want to explaore the World themselves. For that purpose they need to move around in the World. The most important thing we need for these persons is vehicles. Few months back, Engineers were able to develop a car that allows the blind to drive. The vehicles was developed from scratch with $1300 based on an ATV. Blind groups all over compared this success to the moon landing landing for the BLIND. The objective of the competition was not to be just another autonomous vehicle like the competitions for DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). Instead this would actually allow the blind driver to be planning and making his own choices in a drive. The nine person design team called Virginia Tech’s Robotics & Mechanisms Laboratory created the vehicle. A laser sensor in front of the car scans the area for obstacles and then sends signals to a computer in the back of the buggy which sends voice instructions to the blind driver in terms of how many "clicks" the driver should turn the steering wheel. In addition, the computer vibrates the left side of the blind driver's vest to instruct the driver to slow down and both sides to instruct the driver to stop. This car would soon be introduced in the market where everyone colud easily approach it. It is a blast in the world of handicap people.

There are a lot more needs of computer for future which cannot be summarise in such a short period of time.
