<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Why Computers are so famous. Discussion between a Teacher and a Student!</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Teacher: So, tell me why Computers are so popular what is so special about them?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Student: Sir because they are fast.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Teacher: So what even a bike is fast (smiling)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Student: But Sir, a Computer does calculation faster than we can do.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Teacher: A calculator can also do calculations faster than we can, so why waste so much money on a Computer? We could buy a calculator for calculations.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Student: Hmmm... yes but we can listen to songs and watch movies</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Teacher: Even we can do the same with a mobile also.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Student: But Sir with a Computer we can do much more! <a href="http://write-online.com/" target="_blank">We can write letters, and edit photos and get in connection with other people</a>!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Teacher: yesss!!! That’s the specialty of the Computer. With a Computer you can do many things. Like we can create documents, create graphics, edit them and also create animations. And the best part is that we can get in contact with anyone in the world with internet connection.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Student: That's great, instead of buying a calculator, a typewriter, music system, music CD's and instead of maintaining books for educational and business purposes we can just buy a Computer! And we can store all the stuff... that's great it an "ALL IN ONE MACHINE"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Teacher: Yes and also we can use the Computer for various scientific experiments and research. Including astronomical and even we can launch satellites and we can calculate the distance from earth to sun or any other star in the sky</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Student: Wow... its amazing Sir.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Teacher: Also we can capture high definition pictures from the space.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Student: Wow!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Teacher: And also we can study our own planet in a more detailed way. The Computer can store information of all the species and we can get the information when we want.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Student: Amazing, Sir that is really amazing. We just use Computer just as an entertainment tool!. I never knew of it potential. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Teacher: Yes it is the most amazing machine man has ever made...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Students: Tell us some more possibilities a Computer can do.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Teacher: Sure! We will learn more in the next class... Till than have a nice time! :-)</span></div>

<b><a href="http://write-online.com/" target="_blank">Definition </a>of a Computer:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A Computer is an electronic data processing device which can read and write, compute and compare, store and process large volume of data with high speed, accuracy and reliability.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>In simple words:</b></div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>The computer runs using electricity.</li>
<li>It is made up of electronic assembly.</li>
<li>It can also read and write.</li>
<li><a href="http://write-online.com/" target="_blank">It can store very large amount of information, such as e-books, songs, pictures etc</a>.</li>
<li>A computer works fast, faster than humans.</li>
<li>It doesn't make errors.</li>
<li>The information that we store doesn't get spoiled or erased.</li>
</ul>

The first time I saw a Computer was may be in the year 1994 or maybe 1995. I was in class II or III. I saw it at my father’s office. I still remember that day and the thrill I felt when my father took us to his office just to show Computer the “Wonder Machine”. At the office the clerk who was working on the Computer asked me to remove my "Action" shoes before entering the Computer room. What I saw there was many terminals connected to the server somewhere in the building. It was just a black and white monitor with an attached typewriter (keyboard). I was awestruck by seeing it. I remember I just stood there and stared at the machine. I had heard so much about it that it could do a hundred men’s (unfortunately not a women's work) work alone with speed without stopping.<br />
<a name='more'></a>The operator then asked me to use the keyboard. I saw at it and then asked him about the big key on which was printed “Return” then the operator explained me with patience about the different types of keys. The <a href="http://write-online.com/how-many-letters-are-there-in-the-english-alphabet/" target="_blank">Alphabetic keys</a>, the Numeric, the Special and the Function keys. And he said the “return” key was among the Special keys. I pressed it slowly and saw the cursor beam shift from one field to another. I pressed the Return key three times.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This was the incident that had such a deep impact on me that I started collecting knowledge and information about the Magic Machine from then on. The next day when I went to school I told about the visit to my best pal Nasir. And he told everyone that Imran had used the Wonder machine. And since then to till now everybody ask me about their doubts about computers. Although I was and neither I am a Computer expert but I know how to use and maintain the computer probably better than others.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
In the years since that day I have been teaching how to use a Computer to many numbers of friends. I was maybe lucky to see and use Computer at such an early age. And in my years of wanderings I have seen students in their engineering and graduation who have never in their life touched the computer and they face difficulties in their studies as computer knowledge is necessary at such a level of education. And these students spend hundreds and thousands of Rupees to learn just the basic of computer, when they could have learned it free of cost with just some effort.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
So seeing the difficulties of my fellow Indians today I am launching this technological blog which will in the beginning teach the basics of computer that too in an easy to read language.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
So this was the first post in this blog. And from next post I will start the step by step advanced basic of computer guide. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Till then have a Nice Time. And don't forget to comment, I like comments!.</div>
