Computer

50 years ago,a computer may cost you a fortune.At that time,a computer is a premium gadget,a tools of show-off and weigh like an elephant.Using a primitive and humble technology like first generation Cathode-Ray Tube (CRT) display and millions of transistor it use thousands of times of watts energy than a person used.And the energy generated is so horrendous you can melt a small planet.They can be so boring and annoying like your 60 years old,annoying uncle without no internet,social network,games and no particular and well-engineered Operating System like Microsoft and Linux we have today.Even the processor power system is choking and breathing hard with the power less than 1 kHz.



A caveman computer in the middle of 19th century.

However and unfortunately-ly,21st century have introduce us to the whole new level of computing system and it's application in our everybody's life.You can just barely name every object and anything that you can touch that use no computer systems.Gaming consoles,television set,kitchen hardware,electronic fan and even our car.Slowly the computer,even with the simplest computer gives an enormous role to the human society.

Okay lets say you're driving down the highway.Even pushing the pedal use computer application,where a "brain" in the computer named ECU (Electronic Computing Unit) controls,sometimes in some car,over 3000 multi parts in a single car.Now you want to have a smooth and relaxing driving by applying Auto-Cruise-you use a computer again.Now you changed your mind and want to drive like a rookie,ECU sustain you more engine power and more aggressive gear change and revolution per minute (RPM),resulting more fuel consumption.This is all involves computer feedback by,in short version,making your engine to behave more responsive than yesterday,making your braking harder and maybe in some car,regulating your suspension to Sports Mode-Harder.This is kind of thing you take for granted in our everyday life.So many things happen in a millisecond in our car.Just wait until you know what happen in an airliner,or a submarine and even an aircraft carrier.













A typical computer chips.




Japan,known for their impressive technology and animatronic reputation,aimed to establish the football robots team by 2050.Yes a robots and it is not a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) but a pure robots,capable of making split second decision and yes,playing football.It's sound very unorthodox and kooky but thats what their manpower is trying to achieve.You see even now the Japanese is far ahead us by light years.Easy example-ASIMO by Honda.ASIMO stand for Advanced Steps in MObility.For your information ASIMO have evolve more than 10 times and every time they keep standing tall better and better.It able to run,dance,interact well with humans,climbing stairs,shaking hands and they are all annoying after 15 or 20 minutes.Okay thats a lie but this is,like the names is a strong early milestone in respect to their vision.In 50 years to come the cost of material,power,transport,water supply and other basic needs drops,we may achieve see this kind of technology just like we watch in movie like Avatar,Terminator sequels,Back to the Future,i-Robots and so on.We are able to replace robots to the risky profesion like firefighting,crime preventing,vigilante,peacekeeping to the robots.They can operate all-day 24/7 without complaining fake stomach pain,headache,missing family etcetera.They know no fear,no tears if they die no personal feeling involved betweens robots to robots.No comments regarding the personal memories of humans to robots.





i-Robots' robots that capable of mimicking the true fantasy of desired robots in the future.



Robots are tougher,obey to command,needs to food,reliable and even in every aspects better than human,and thats why all countries around the globe racing with time to develope true robots,and speaking of robots by too far now,is a complicated and very long wiring and very expensive computer systems.We don't deny we have all the technology and fund by far but not everyone is happy with their power and money.What I mean is,the technology may be misused,and in simply put sentences used military superiority.Even now we have a superb warfare tech,and some of the technology even is too unlogic and rated top secret.Power and politics fantasy is greater than fantasy to a girl.Lets put the subject a bit aside by giving the example-Adolf Hitler.He is the leader of Nazi,and in respect of fulfilling his power fantasies,he killed millions of disabled,woman,children,Jews,gypsies and many more weak colonies.This is what ferocious greed can do to a man.


Okay student open your boring,cheap and thick textbook to talk about computer again.As a youngsters and have a personal laptops provided by my family,just like my friends.My computer and similar gadgets to me is like a charming fairy with a halo on the top with an innocent girl,bullied by her fat,ugly,mean stepsister and an uglier,fatter and even meaner stepmother when the family man is not around.I carry my laptops everywhere I go.From gaming,internet browsing,video conference,news and feed update,even watching television channel from around the globe and sometimes photo sharing from my camera.I start use a computer since i was 7,with Windows 95 running and floppy disks as data transfer media.What can you store is 1.4 megabytes flashes? Yeah those good times.


This is tech.Now after just 12,13 years we now have,if money is not a subject a personal media storage that can hold up to 4 Terabytes of data.Thats is equivalent to 4 000 000 of floppy disks.A single blu-ray disc can sore 47 Gigabytes of data.This kind of things makes computer evolve move ultimately fast.In fact computer evolve 10 000 faster than mankind.Mankind needs to think about 200 000 years to build a proper and functioning in terms of logic aircraft.Now we have reverse-engineered computer like iPhone,supercomputers,artificial intelligence,assembly robots in car factory,satellite televisions and even smart home system in our everyday life.


What can just exactly came up 25 years later for the world? Science and technology never sleeps and grow faster than a humpback baby.And an pigmy elephant baby too...okay doesn't matter what it is,its just fast.Time will tell.
