SOCIETY
Computer chip
• Computer chips are made from silicon which is found in sand.
• Electronic circuits based on Silicon chips had their beginning around the
1970’s.
• The impact of computers was felt very slowly in the seventies and eighties.
At this time people started to analyze and understand the applications of
computers in all fields. However, the nineties saw an exponential change.
Automation
• Computers have taken over a lot of boring, repetitive and time consuming,
as well as dangerous job.
• Some of these applications are:
• Simple applications like word processing, spreadsheets and databases have make it
possible for more work to get done in less time.
• The entire banking operation have become much more efficient. Money transfer are
done in minutes.
• Through Computer-aided design (CAD), the quality of products has improved.
Communication
• The Internet has given great amount of flexibility in the office work
environment by making communication easier.
• Some of these applications are:
• The companies can give flexible timing to their employees, and even freedom to work
from home.
• By using e-mails and video conferencing, it is possible for experts in distant places to
exchange ideas and plans, while carrying on their daily routine.
• Handicapped and disable people are able to become part of workforce.
Education
• Computers have made great impact in the field of education. Students are
using computers to study subjects like Science, Social Studies etc.
• Some of these applications are:
• Computers are being used to teach difficult concepts through simulated models.
• Internet is being used extensively by students to do research work. Earlier students have
to spend days looking up encyclopedias for information.
• In lab work scientific instruments are attached to computers to help get accurate
readings.
Impact on Health
• Computers also have physical impact on
people. Certain types of injuries are
reported by people. Certain group of
muscles, such as those of the neck, are
getting strained.
• The other physical impact is that on vision.
Long hours of working on computers
affects the vision.
Staying Connected
• One of the major advantage of internet is to enable millions of people to
stay connected with their friends all over the world.
• Websites such as Facebook and Orkut have created huge online
communication and allows people to send messages, post pictures, stories
and share other information.

drastically reduced.

processor are fast making handwritten mail outdated.
Effect on
younger generation

hours playing games all by themselves rather than interacting with
others.
• Many have become so addicted to computers that they gave even
given up playing outdoor games.
• This is expected to have an adverse impact on the health and
social behavior of the younger generation.
Ownership of
Information
• One big problem that computers today have is that of ownership
of information and creative work called the Copyright Law.
• However, the electronic form in which information is available
today, is easy to copy and duplicate.
• Easy availability of information on the Internet encourages
people to copy what is available and present the information as
their own.
Right to
privacy
• As more and more computers are being used for commercial and
financial transactions, the threat to privacy of personal
information in increasing.
• Internet piracy involves the right to personal privacy concerning
the storing and displaying of information pertaining to oneself
via the Internet.
Frauds
• You may have heard about hackers breaking into the computer
systems of large organizations.
• In October 2000, hackers broke into Microsoft’s computer system
and are believed to stolen the blueprints of the Windows
operating system and the MS Office software package.
• In case of financial transactions, Bank accounts can be hacked to
transfer money illegally.
