IV. Translate the following text from English into your native language:
As examples of easing mental effort by using the computer, consider five tools commonly used in offices everywhere – the calculator, the typewriter, the file cabinet, the drafting table, and the telephone. All these tools are to some extent being replaced or enhanced by the computer; in the process, the human effort is reduced through the power of the computer.
Like a calculator, the computer can perform calculations. But the real power of the computer is its capability to allow the user to determine the effect of changes in the data or of changes in the assumptions underlying the calculations. Similarly, computers can be used to create and revise documents with far greater ease than the standard typewriter. Computers can actually be used to develop the professional-typeset-quality documents ready for publication. While it be along time before all storage of information on paper is ended, computers can now store information much more efficiently than filing cabinets, and computers allow the user to retrieve needed items of information without searching through many file folders. Drafting tables are also rapidly being replaced by computers that enable the user to either draw freehand or combine figures from a figure library to create a complete drawing. Finally, fax machines have now made it possible not just to talk over the telephone but also send text and drawings over telephone lines to distant points.
