COMPUTER MACHINES

What is a computer? The electronic system of a computer is very complex. Its electronic brains produce information. It is a complex instrument made up of hundreds of electronic devices, miles of electronic wire. At a panel desk connected to the instrument, an operator feeds facts, figures, and sym­bols into the machine, to be stored on magnetic tape or punched cards. More than 100,000 pieces of information can be stored in one machine, and when the operator wants answers, he asks the machine in a special language to process the infor­mation taken from storage, and for solving the problem.

How long did it take you to multiply the large numbers? In one third of a second a computer can multiply two 127-digit num­bers. In one whole second, it can add 4,000 five-digit num­bers; in two seconds it can complete 320 long-division prob­lems. The same machine does the work of thousands of trained mathematicians in any given time period, and without the mistakes which human beings are bound to make. The ma­chine can flash its answers on a screen, can print them on paper, store them away on magnet tapes or cards. The elec­tronic machine can give any answer or combination of possi­ble answers, from the information fed to it for storage.

But ... it is human beings who do the thinking, who feed information to the machines which help us to find answers and produce facts faster and more accurately. Machines work for us, but they do not think for us.
