Why Computers are so famous. Discussion between a Teacher and a Student!
Teacher: So, tell me why Computers are so popular what is so special about them?
Student: Sir because they are fast.
Teacher: So what even a bike is fast (smiling)
Student: But Sir, a Computer does calculation faster than we can do.
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.
Student: Hmmm... yes but we can listen to songs and watch movies
Teacher: Even we can do the same with a mobile also.
Student: But Sir with a Computer we can do much more! We can write letters, and edit photos and get in connection with other people!
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.
