Present society is heavily dependent on computers and their applications. Among others, the two major causes for this dependence are :
1) Ability to calculate and computer
2) Handling and processing of information
computers can perform calculations at a speed beyond human ability and with accuracy and consistency which people can not match. Some of the knowledge we process today would be unknown without the fast computational ability of computers. The rapid social, economic cultural, and technological changes cannot be imagined without the east computational speed of present day computers.
Ability to record and information, process that information at high speed, and reproduce that information in a variety of ways makes the computers indispensable for modern society. Information is generated in such a volume that it is impossible to handle information by conventional methods.
Present world is so much dependent on computers that if they could be swept away overnight, the airlines communications and financial operations of most part of the world would collapse. There are many more examples like these. It is not possible for average persons to appreciate the direct and indirect impact of computers in society. But it is true that computers have penetrated human society far more deeply than the overage persons can realize.
