1      the beginning of time, man has invented many interesting things. Some of these inventions, 2      numbers, the alphabet and the radio, have certainly changed history.

One of the most important 3      has been the computer since 1946. It changed all our lives. The first computer 4      at Harvard University in 1944. It was as large as a room and quite difficult and slow to operate. But since the invention of silicon(ÍÞ£©chip, computers have become smaller, easier 5     , and faster to operate. Some computers are as 6      as television sets.

Simple computers can be made smaller than a book. And computers are getting smaller all the time.

There are several reasons(Ô­Òò£©why the computer is useful to us. First, it can store(´¢´æ£© very, very large amounts of information in its memory chips. 7      £¬ the computer can operate very quickly. It¡¯s 8      times faster than humans and it will never feel tired. Third, modem computers can be built into other kinds of machines, like radios, cars, and planes. They can do a lot of work for us.
