A computer ____ really a very specific kind of a counting machine. It ____ do arithmetic problems faster than any person alive. By means of electric processes it can find the answer to a very difficult and complicated problem in a few seconds.

A computer can "remember" information you give it. It keeps the information in its "memory" until it is needed.

There are different kinds ____computers. Some can do only one job. There are special-purpose computers. Each specific problem requires a specific computer. One kind of computer can help us build a_______, an other kind can help us navigate it. A special-purpose computer is built for this purpose alone and cannot do anything else.

We used to think of a computer as a large machine that took up a whole room. But today computers are becoming ______. Though there small devices are called microcomputers or minicomputers, they are still true computers.

The input and ______ devices are called peripherals.

There are several advantages in making computers as small as one can. Sometimes weight is particularly important. A modern plane carries many heavy electronic apparatus. If it is possible to make any of them smaller, it can carry a bigger weight. But _______is not the only factor. The smaller the computer, the faster it can work. The signals go to and for at a very high but almost constant speed.

Some of the first computer cost millions of dollars, but people quickly learned that it was cheaper to let a _______ dollar computer make the necessary calculations than to have a hundred clerks trying to do the same by hand. Scientists found that computers made fewer mistakes and could fulfil the tasks much faster than almost any number of people using usual methods. The computers became popular. As their popularity

grew the number of ______ producing them also grew.
