In the earlier years, when computer technology was still in infancy, reliance on other forms of communication methods, such as telegraph, post and later on telephone were the only forms used for keeping in touch . Although these forms in their own way were effective, some aspects, for example in (post and telegraph) proved to be sometimes unreliable with time delays in receiving information, or in the case of the telephone, people were not able to see expressions or reactions of the individual they are talking to or some cases were mislead to passing on information to individuals pretending to be persons they wish to talk to.

With introduction of network computers connected to phones as well as technology upgrade of telephones to mobile phone used today. We are able to send and receive messages by E-mails via the internet which not only provides easier and quicker method of sending and receiving information also provides with the aid of webcams and multimedia applications the ability to make video calls and video commencing not only on computers but on our mobile phones as well.

We as human beings burden ourselves in hope of information that is beyond our time. We have become dependent upon numbers that are much larger than our mind can calculate at any given time. We use mathematics in the form of statistics to justify mean and probability that could add value to the understanding of many discoveries. Due to the fast pace of today’s society and the inability to maximize our brain’s capacity to process large volumes of data in a timely manner, one could not accomplish a reasonable day’s work if it depended on the human anatomy alone for daily demands.
The discovery of computers has become the answer to our modern day survival. Thirty years ago, computers were mostly thought of for usage in business, science, and technology. One could easily list the areas where computers were being used, because their use was very limited. Now, in fact, it may be easier to list the areas where computers are not being used. Today computers have entered almost every aspect of life. Computers date back as far as the prehistoric times when shepherds tied knots in pieces of string to keep count of their herds. We have always had computers as of the day we starting to think and rationalize our thoughts.
Computing is thought of as input and output of information in order to gain a solution. Our brain has performed the function of a computer for quite some time. The brain receives information from various sources and stores it for immediate or future processing; occasionally it does not process as fast as a computer. For the sake of time we will begin our computer history with the invention of the abacus. The abacus was one of the earliest known computational devices, which consisted of several wires or posts, each strung with seven beads. The abacus was used to perform additions and subtractions by moving the beads on the…
