Carlos Saldanha is all heart. From the ‘Ice Age’ series, which the Brazilian co directed,
through to his new ‘Rio’ franchise, every movie he makes is stuffed with warmth, charm and
simple but effective lessons about family, responsibility and friendship. Sure, they can tip
over into sentimentality – there’s a lullaby scene in ‘Rio 2’ that’ll have cynics reaching for
sick bags – but there’s no denying the integrity.
‘Rio 2’ finds our avian hero Blue (voiced by Jesse Eisenberg) living happily with his
wife and chicks in Brazil. But when an entire flock of their rare species, the Spix’s Macaw, is
discovered deep in the Amazon, Blue and his brood swoop off to investigate. There are
problems here: the middle hour runs perilously close to the story of ‘Meet the Parents’, and a
subplot involving a talent show feels a little calculating. But the characterisation is feisty and
memorable, the song-and-dance sequences intricate and colourful, and it’ll charm the socks
off little people.

TEXT: WHAT IS A COMPUTER?

1. Nowadays, in most modern societies, almost everybody has an idea about what a computer is. We
depend on computers in every aspect of our lives whether we know how to use one or not. But does
everyone really know how a computer works inside?
2. A computer is an electronic machine which processes data and provides the results of the
processing as information. There are three basic steps in the computing process. The first one is input,
which consists of feeding data into the computer’s memory. Then comes the processing: the program
is run and the computer processes the data by performing a set of instruction. The third and final step
is the output furnished by the computer, which allows the user to see the results either in printed form
or on the screen.
3. The world of computers has created a specific language of its own. English words such as software
and hardware are used worldwide and have been borrowed by many different languages. Software is
information in the form of data and programs, and hardware refers to the electronic and mechanical
parts that make up a computer system.
4. Despite the constant presence of computers in most societies, it is a great mistake to believe that
everybody in the world is computer-literate, i.e., is familiar with computers and knows how to use
them properly. In some contemporary societies, many people still have no idea about the existence of
computers, and even in the so-called developed countries, there are lots of people who do not know or
do not care about what a computer is.
