Computers and their effect on the world...>

The computer industry is the most important industries in the world, this is so because most industries need computers to function as well as do their products. Today's cars would not work without onboard computer systems, the same counts for the air traffic which needs computer assistance to work as it does today, records are kept on computer systems because it is more convenient. Production lines need computers, to control the roboter arms, now we still like to have the illusion that we are the masters of our world. Of course we could pull the plug on all computer systems, but this most certainly would cause great famines as well as shortages in all other areas, to make a long story short our industry would collapse without the computer since the computer control's or is used to as remote controls other tools. In this light shutting down computers seems more like mass-suicide since we would not be able to sustain so many humans without computers any more. Sick and old people, as well as people that are over or under-weight would most certainly be the once that would pay the greatest price not to mention children, since they depend on the industrial products. Basically computers have become the single most important tool in today's world. And we need them more than ever, this trend seems not to slow down but just to accelerate, if you do not believe me just go outside for a day and count how often the computer is necessary for the things you do.
