The computer is fast and hardly makes a mistake, while people are slow and make mistakes sometimes. That’s what people often say when they talk about computers. For many years，scientists have been improving computers. Now a computer can do a lot of everyday jobs wonderfully. It is widely used in factories, hospitals, post offices and airports. A computer can report, decide and control in almost every field (领域).With the help of a person, a computer can draw pictures, write music, talk with people, play chess, translate languages and so on. Many computer scientists are now thinking of making computers “think” like a man. Perhaps computers will one day really think and feel. Some people are afraid that one day computers will be too clever to listen to them. But scientists tell us that such a thing will not happen.
