Last Tuesday, 8/5, our Computer teacher told us that we are now in the “Computer Age” because of the existence of computers, phones, tablets, internet, and other simple things that we use every day (technology). We can say that computers are very genius because, first, they show answers / results to our questions / researches; second, they allow us to socialize with different people from different parts of the world; third, we can be entertained and do whatever we want at our own risk; and lastly, to be able to be heard by the world. But who do you think is smarter: we (who can move, discover, and do what we want) or these computers (non-living but a very reliable material for our everyday life) that almost dominate our life?
"Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all." That was quoted by the former American president, John. F. Kennedy. And I totally agree with him. How could we have genius computers if we do not have genius minds of people? How could computers be created without the existence of curious minds? How could we have computers if there are no wanderer of wonders? We should all thank those behind the internet for making such - a helpful tool for our everyday living.
Another point that will prove that humans are the most extraordinary computer of all is the content of the web. Where would all those things we see when we search something come from? Who makes those websites? Who makes those social networking sites? Who makes those online dictionary, encyclopedia, shopping, and other useful sites? It's the human race. Basically, we are the ones who store knowledge to the computer, and having said that, we are knowledgeable / prodigy.
Indeed, man is the most extraordinary computer for making computers and storing memory to those computers and in the web. As we're experiencing the "Computer Age" or the "Golden Age of Computers," I hope that everyone will still be responsible and cautious of what they do / visit using the web.
