Computers are a relatively new

invention. The first computers were

built fifty years ago and it is only in
the last thirty years that its influence
has affected our everyday life.
Personal computers were introduced
as recently as the early eighties. In
this short time they have made a
tremendous impact on our lives. We
are now so dependent on computers
that it is hard to imagine what
things would be like today without
them. You have only got to go into a
bank when the main computer is
broken to understand the chaos that
would occur if computers were
suddenly removed world-wide. In the
future, computers will be used to
create bigger and even more
sophisticated computers. The
prospects for this is quite alarming.
They will be so complex that no
individual could hope to understand
how they work. They will bring a lot
of benefits but they will also
increase the potential for
unimaginable chaos. They will, for
example, be able to fly planes and
they will be able to coordinate the
movements of several planes around
the airport. Providing all the
computers are working correctly,
nonthing can go wrong; but if one
program fails there will be a
disaster. There is no doubt that
technology will progress and
become increasingly complex. We
should, however, ensure that we are
still in a position where we are able
to control technology. It will be all
too easy to suddenly discover that
technology is controlling us. By then
it might be too late. I believe that it
is very important to be suspicious of
the benefits that computers will
bring and make sure that we never
become totally dependent on a
completely technological world

A new hearing device is now

available for some hearing impaired
people. This device uses a magnet to
hold the detachable soundprocessing portion in place. Like
other aids, it converts sound into
vibrations, but is unique in the sense
that it can transmit the vibrations
directly to the magnet, and then to
the inner ear. This produces a
cleaner sound. The new device will
not help all hearing-impaired people,
only those with a hearing loss
caused by infection or other problem
in the middle ear. This produces a
clearer sound. The new Device will
not help all hearing-impaired
people.only those with a hearing loss
caused by infection or other problem
in the middel ear. It will probably
help no more than 20 percent of all
people with hearing problems. Those
people, who often have persis tent
ear infections, should however find
relief and restored hearing with the
new device.
