Computers are a relatively new invention. The first computers were built fifty years ago and it
is only in the last thirty or so years that their influence has affected our everyday life. Personal
computers were introduced as recently as the early eighties. In this short time they have made a
tremendous impact on our lives. We are now so dependent on computers that it is hard to imagine
what things would be like today without them. You have only got to go into a bank when their main
computer is broken to appreciate the chaos that would occur if computers were suddenly removed
world-wide.
In the future computers will be used to create bigger and even more sophisticated computers.
The prospects for this are quite alarming. They will be so complex that no individual could hope to
understand how they work. They will bring a lot of benefits but they will also increase the potential for
unimaginable chaos. They will, for example, be able to fly planes and they will be able to co-ordinate
the movements of several planes in the vicinity of an airport. Providing all the computers are working
correctly nothing can go wrong. If one small program fails disaster.
There is no doubt that technology will progress and become increasingly complex. We should,
however, ensure that we are still in a position where we are able to control technology. It will be all
too easy to suddenly discover that technology is controlling us. By then it might be too late I believe
that it is very important to be suspicious of the benefits that computers will bring and to make sure
that we never become totally dependent on a completely technological world.

Lightning has been a mystery since early times. People of ancient civilizations believed angry
gods threw lighting bolts from the sky. Nobody understood that lightning resulted from electricity until
Ben Franklin flew a kite with a key dangling from the string and it was struck by lightning.
In current times, it is known that lightning has a very scientific cause. Generally, within a storm
cloud, friction from water and ice-laden clouds creates a negative charge at the bottom of the cloud.
When that charge grows too great for the air to hold it back, it is united with a positive charge from
the Earth, creating a 'channel of electricity that flows between the two points. The charge remains
invisible as it moves towards the ground until it meets the charge rising from the ground. Once they
thunder. In fact, very recently it has been discovered that occasionally the positive charges appear at
the bottom of the cloud, which are then met by negative charges from earth.
Generally, people are injured by lightning when they are in the open, near or in water, or near
tall structures like trees. Golfers, Swimmers, beachgoers, and outdoor workers are in greatest danger.
The greatest number of victims are males, but it is believed that this is because males are more likely
to be in the places where lightning strikes. When lightning is about to strike one feels an odd, tingling
sensation, and one's hair stands on end. Of course, there is little chance to do anything about it,
because the full blow will occur within a second and be over in a couple of seconds. The victim may be
thrown, lose consciousness, be burned, die, or suffer permanent injury. Some people recover
completely, but others do not.
