The ability of tiny computing devices to control complex operations
has transformed the way many tasks are performed, ranging from
scientific research to producing consumer products. Tiny 'computers on a
chip' are used in medical equipment, home appliances, cars and toys.
Workers use handheld computing devices at a customer site, to generate
forms, to control inventory, and to serve as desktop organisers.
Not only is computing equipment getting smaller, it is getting
more sophisticated. Computers are part of many machines and devices that
once required continual human supervision and control. Today, computers
in security systems result in safer environments, computers in cars
improve energy efficiency, and computers in phones provide features such
as call forwarding, call monitoring, and call answering.
These smart machines are designed to take over some of the basic
tasks previously performed by people; by so doing, they make life a
little easier and a little more pleasant. Smart cards store vital
information
such as health records, drivers' licenses, bank balances, and so on.
Smart phones, cars, and appliances with built in computers can be
programmed to better meet individual needs. A smart house has a built-in
monitoring system that can turn lights on and off, open and close
windows, operate the oven, and more.
With small computing devices available for performing smart tasks
like cooking dinner, programming the DVD recorder, and controlling the
flow of information in an organization, people are able to spend more
time doing what they often do best - being creative. Computers help people work more creatively.
Multimedia systems known for their educational and entertainment value,
which we call 'edutainment'. Multimedia combines text with sound,
video, animation, and graphics, which greatly enhances the interaction
between user and machine and can make information more interesting and
appealing to people. Expert systems software enables computers to
'think' like experts. Medical diagnosis expert systems, for example, can
help doctors pinpoint a patient's illness, suggest further tests, and
prescribe appropriate drugs.
Connectivity enables computers and software
that might otherwise be incompatible to communicate and to share
resources. Now that computers are proliferating in many areas and
networks are available for people to access data and communicate with
others, personal computers are becoming interpersonal PCs. WIFI is
available in many areas in the world now, They have the potential to
significantly
improve the way we relate to each other. Many people today telecommute
-that is, use their computers to stay in touch with the office while
they are working at home. With the proper tools, hospital staff can get a
diagnosis from a medical expert hundreds or thousands of miles away.
Similarly, the disabled can communicate more effectively with others
using computers.
Distance learning and are concepts made possible with the use of
an electronic classroom or boardroom accessible to people in remote
locations. Vast databases of information are currently available to
users of the Internet, all of whom can send mail messages to each other.
The information is superhighway designed to significantly expand this
interactive connectivity so that people all over the world will have
free access to all these resources.
People power is critical
to ensuring that hardware, software, and connectivity are effectively
integrated in a socially responsible way. People - computer users and
computer professionals - are the ones who will decide which hardware,
software, and networks endure and how great an impact they will have on
our lives. Ultimately people power must be exercised to ensure that
computers are used not only efficiently but in a socially responsible
way.
