Computers in Modern Civilization

28.10.2022

Computer is one of the most amazing devices in the era of mechanization. One of the greatest contributions to the continuing triumph of science is the computer. Science has opened new doors of engineering and technology. Machines today have become the playthings of human hands. The computer is such a machine, which obeys orders like a loyal servant in human working life. The greatest invention of the 20th century is the computer. The current era is the era controlled by computers.

Definition of computer: Computer refers to an electronic device that can automatically analyze and make decisions very quickly by taking innumerable data or data. Computer is literally a kind of mass machine. Computers accurately store, calculate, analyze information and give very quick decisions or ideas. Innovations and improvements: British mathematician Charles Babbage is the father of the modern computer. He was the first to discover the structure of the modern computer in five parts. The 5 parts of Babbage's discovered computer structure are (1) store, (2) match, (3) control, (4) input, (5) output. His planned mass machine was later,It inspired the creation of computers. He gave the idea of computer in the second decade of the eighteenth century. About a century later, the electronic computer was discovered at the intersection of technology and electronics. On February 15, 1964, the perfect electronic computer was invented. Its name is Inyak. With the passage of time, the structure of the computer has improved. Each step of the structure can be called a 'generation'. We have already got fifth generation computers. For example, IBM-640 System-380, Univac-1. ICA-2900, Adsac-4300, Ray-1, K-2 are notable. Function and contribution of computer Computer has special contribution and function in human life. It is a kind of machine brain. Three parts of computer.

Namely: - 1. Central Processing Unit, 2. Input, 3. output. Works with all information through programs and provides information and instructions through programming language. These are collectively called 'Software'. And the structure that controls the activity of the computer is hardware. The contribution of computer is immense in providing accurate calculations by collecting data quickly and accurately.Computers perform very fast tasks that are impossible for humans and require time and money. Computer is the essential tool to save time. Computers have also improved the standard of living of people. Computers in Bangladesh Computers in Bangladesh initially started on a small scale in 1964. An IBM 1620 series computer was brought to the Atomic Energy Center. Before the eighties, computers were used on a very limited scale in this country. There was no opportunity for computer education at that time. Formal and institutional education in computer science in Bangladesh started in the nineties. This trend continues and today computer education and use has expanded. By learning this, many are gaining fame by creating international quality software. The use of computers in Bangladesh is in line with the world, and the use of computers has expanded widely in Bangladesh.Computers are being used from people's homes to government administration. However, most people are still inexperienced with computers. Only those who have received education and training in computer are able to show some proficiency. Computers are being used for all kinds of work in the offices and courts of Bangladesh. Many tasks are being done by the computer. Computers are taking away all the work of human hands. Computers are confirming people by adding crores of rupees in the bank. Planning and controlling production in large factories.

The profit and loss account of the business is being settled in a very short period of time. Conclusion: Computer is the blessing of today's world. In that case, blessings for Bangladesh. Computers are being used in various jobs in Bangladesh. But this number is very limited. The cases where computers are used indoors and outdoors are mainly limited to the cities. Computer education should be given to every people of Bangladesh. Arrangements should be made to reach computers in every house. Development of the country will not be possible if the widespread use of computers is not ensured in the era of modern technology.
