in the study of the fine arts, particularly, literature. They have also been
programmed to help scholars identify paintings and sculptures from ancient
civilizations.
But computers do not have intelligence in the way humans do. They cannot think
for themselves. What they are good at is carrying out arithmetical operations and
making logical decisions at phenomenally fast speed. But they only do what
humans program gives them to do.
Apart from the speed at which computers execute instruction, two developments in
particular have contributed to the growth in the use of computers – efficient storage
of large amounts of data and diminishing cost. Today, computers can store huge
amount of information on magnetic media and any item of this information can be
obtained in a few milliseconds and displayed or printed for the user.
