Read the passage to find the information. Write it in the blanks: (2ms) The computer, the marvel of the machine age, has been in use since 1964. A computer can do simple computations- add , subtract, multiply, and divide- with lightning speed and perfect accuracy. Once it is given a “program” – that is, a carefully worked- out set of instructions devised by a technician trained in computer language – a computer can gather a wide range of information for many purposes. At times computers seem almost human. They can “read” handprinted letters, play chess, compose music, write plays, and even design other computers. Is it any wonder that they are sometimes called “thinking” machine? Even though they are taking over some of the taks that were once accomplished by our own brains, computers are not replacing us – at least not yet. Our brain has more than 10 billion cells. A computer has only a few hundred thousand parts. For some time to come, then, we can safely say that our brains are at least 10,000 times more complex than a computer. How we use them is for us, not the computer, to decide. 1. Artificial intelligence or the . . . has been in use since 1946. 2.
