Mechanization of production operations and their automation is one of the most important problems and what is being done in this sphere at present greatly exceeds what has been done in the past.
Computer science is a relatively new field of study and research. It is abroad discipline, covering logic design, of computation, numerical analysis, programming and computer application.
There are different kinds of computers. Some do only one job over and again. These are special-purpose computers. But there are some computers that are able to do a lot of different jobs. They are called general-purpose computers. These are "big brains" that solve the most difficult problems of science. They answer questions about rockets and planes, and ships long before these things are even built.
Today there are computers small enough to carry in one's pocket or about the size of a typewriter. These new computers are called personal computers help our space program, our armed forces, our business and industry sports and medicine.
Computers are capable of doing extremely complicated work in all branches of learning. They can solve the most complicated mathematical problems or put thousands of unrelated facts in order. As computers work accurately and at high speeds, they save research workers years of hard work. This whole process, by which machines have to be used to work for us, is called automation. Automation will have important social consequences.
