" Computers are useless. They can only give you answers."
Pablo Picasso, Spanish artist (1881-1973)
When Picasso said this statement, he was right because computers at that time used to give answers only. Nowadays, computers are the most important technological devices in the whole world.

The Internet began for military reasons in1969 when there was a cold war حرب باردة between the Soviet Union and the United States of America. In the last thirty years, the Internet has grown dramatically. In 1983, there were only 200 computers connected to the Internet. Nowadays, there are around 50 million computers. You can visit a lot of websites on the Internet in all fields of life. There are websites for those who are looking for jobs and websites for those who want to buy books or anything they want. Finally, I advise all my friends to use the Internet, but they should avoid getting into prohibited websites. |
