Computers of the Future

In the 1980s some scientists predicted: "By the year 2000 we will have a network planet. In offices, shops, factories and homes there will be small machines that will help us communicate with distant computers. We shall (will) ask them questions, perform calculations and enter data that computers will store, process and act upon. Probably all the professions will have their own data banks. People will use home terminals for education, planning vocation and sheer entertainment. They will buy theatre tickets, airline tickets, and manage their bank accounts with the help of the Internet".

All this is reality nowadays. But the potential use of computers is still endless. Today scientists predict that we will have machines that are as intel­ligent as we are. Here are some of their predictions:

• cars will report news and safe driving;

• a TV set will choose programmes that the viewer enjoys. Better yet, it will not repeat annoying commercials;

• a house will sense the mood of its owner: the coffee machine will kick in (start working) when it's needed.

Will technology replace schools?

Some people believe that soon schools will no longer be necessary. These people say that because of the Internet and other new technologies, there is no longer any need for school buildings, formal classes, or teachers. Perhaps this will be true one day, but it is hard for me to imagine a world without schools. In fact, we need to look at how we can use new technology to make schools better not to eliminate them.

We should invent a new kind of school that is linked to libraries, museums, science centers, laboratories, and even corporations. Independent experts will give talks on video or over the Internet. TV networks and local stations will develop programming about things students are actually studying in school. Laboratories could demonstrate new technology in the Internet.

Is this just a dream? No. Already there are several towns where this is beginning to happen. Blacksburg, Virginia, is one of them. Here the city is linked to the Internet, and learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office. The schools provide computer labs for people without their own computers at home. Everyone can visit distant libraries and museums easily.

How will this new kind of school change learning? It is too early to be sure, but it is very exciting to think about. Technology will change the way we learn; schools will be changed as well; and we all learn something in the process.
