Computer Science

In this article I will share some interesting facts about COMPUTER in which you are reading my article right now. Can you imagine how the world would be today without these machines. It will not be fit to call them Machines; they are not just machines but now have become an essential commodity for all. Now in India almost every house has a computer in it. But you will be very amaze to know that computer is the most idiot, working Friend of mankind. Want to know how?

Just take an example, If ask you “Can you see what’s the time?”, you will have a glance of your watch showing 2:45 and answer me “ its 2:45 ”. But if you ask a computer the same question, for your understanding I am writing a fictitious program in BASIC.
10 SEE THE TIME
The computer will respond
OK.
I.e. it will see the time and sit lazily.
But if you type the program little differently,
10 SEE THE TIME
20 PRINT THE TIME
Then it will give you an answer
RUN
ITS 2:45
OK
That means if you don’t ask it to show you the time it will not tell you the time. Here comes the need of “Artificial intelligence”. The computer which we use works on the basis of some PRE-STORED instructions. Our scientists are working hard on providing an artificial intelligence system to the computer so that it can presume the type of answer which the user is expecting from it. And I must say we have already achieved some good results.
