        A computer is known to be a very specific kind of counting machine. We know it to do arithmetic problems
faster than any person alive. By means of electric circuit it can find the answer to a very difficult and complicated
problem in a few seconds.
        A computer can remember information given to it. It stores the information in its memory untill it is needed.
When you are ready to solve a problem, you can get the computer to sort through its storfed facts1 and use only the
proper ones. It works the problem with lightning speed. Then it checks its work to mаke sure2 there are no mistakes.
        Traditionally, a computer was considered to be a large mасhine with many buttons and flashing lights that took
up a whole room3. But today computers are becoming smaller and smaller and are even being put inside other
devices. In spite of these small devices being called microcomputers and minicomputers they are still true computers.
        There are several advantages in making computers as small as possible, one of them being weight. But weight
is not the only factor, the others being higher reliability, higher speed and requiring less power to run the computer.
        The computer industry being one of the largest in western countries and especially in the USA is widely
known. It includes companies that manufacture, sell and lease computers, as well as companies that supply products
and services for people working with computers.
        A computer cannot think. We know a human operator to put data into the computer. The operator writes
instructions which determine the mathematical operations on information, a computer solving mathematical problems
very rapidly.
        Traditionally, the computer in business is known to be used for processing data. Having taken on many new
kinds of jobs a computer has become more involved in business operations as the essential tool in making decisions at
the highest administrative level.
