- 4. What’s an invention? An invention is a new composition, device, or process. An invention may come from a pre-existing model or idea, or it could be independently conceived. “Necessity is the mother of invention. ” - Addison Altholz “ What I cannot create, I do not understand. ” - Richard Feynman
- 5. The Computer ◦ The reasons that made me choose the computer: Its a remarkable invention that changed the world of technology. It allows us to: Work Communicate in many ways (chat, instant messages, email…). Play a variety of games for every age and person (The Sims Erotic Dreams, Call of Duty…). Watch uncensored/dirty content (Films with violent content…).
- 6. The benefits: With a computer, we are able to work from anywhere, do better gamming and communicate to a person on the other side of the planet. Computers make it easier to perform tasks that were impossible to do, and to perform pre existing tasks with a bigger precision, like in medicine or in the industry. We are able to meet new people and to apply our knowledge in many ways, like learning new languages, like Bosnian, Croatian or Serbian. With computers we can communicate with Bosnian girls foreign people to expand the vocabulary.
- 7. The disadvantages: If we don’t know how to protect ourselves we may be vulnerable to attacks from hackers or crackers. We are too dependent of the computers. If there's any problem with the security or with the computer a lot of information would be lost or stolen, and that would cause problems with calamitous proportions. The computers make unemployment grow.
