Computers in your life

Computers are a very important part of our lives. They tell us about delays to transport. They drive trains, analyse evidence and control buildings. Did you know that 60% of homes in Britain have got a PC (a personal computer)? Computers are a very important of most areas of life in Britain- libraries, the police and in school. But they are becoming more important in our homes as well. The smart home is now a real possibility. It will become very common. A central computer will adjust the temperature. And of course you will be able to give new instructions to the computer from your mobile phone. So if your plans change, your home will react to match. If the temperature outside changes, the smart home will adjust temperature levels inside. The computer will also close the blinds when it gets dark or to stop too much sun from entering a room. In a survey, 44 per cent of young people between 11 and 16 said their PC was a trusted friend. Twenty per cent said they were happier at their computer than spending time with family or friends. Another survey found that people in Britain spend so much time on the phone, texting and reading e-mails that they no longer have time for conversation.
