Computer graphics is an art of drawing pictures, lines, charts, etc using

computers with the help of programming. Computer graphics is made up of
number of pixels. Pixel is the smallest graphical picture or unit represented on the
computer screen. Basically, there are two types of computer graphics namely.
Computer Graphics involves a two-way communication between computer
and user. Here the observer is given some control over the image by providing
him with an input device for example the video game controller of the ping pong
game. This helps him to signal his request to the computer. The computer on
receiving signals from the input device can modify the displayed picture
appropriately. To the user it appears that the picture is changing instantaneously in
response to his commands. He can give a series of commands, each one
generating a graphical response from the computer. In this way he maintains a
conversation, or dialogue, with the computer.
Interactive computer graphics affects our lives in a number of indirect
ways. For example, it helps to train the pilots of our airplanes. We can create a
flight simulator which may help the pilots to get trained not in a real aircraft but
on the grounds at the control of the flight simulator. The flight simulator is a
mock-up of an aircraft flight deck, containing all the usual controls and
surrounded by screens on which we have the projected computer-generated views
of the terrain visible on take-off and landing. Flight simulators have many
advantages over the real aircrafts for training purposes, including fuel savings,
safety, and the ability to familiarize the trainee with a large number of the world’s
airports.

1. Computer graphics is made up of number of lines, pictures, charts using

computers with the help of programming
2. Computer graphics is divided into two types
3. Computer graphics uses the method of two-way communication
4. Interactive computer graphics doesn’t influence our lives
 5. Real aircrafts are much better than the flight simulators because it
includes fuel savings, safety and the ability to familiarize the trainee with a large
number of the world’s airports.
2. A) Read the text and try to understand its content.
You and your family are at risk of virtual attacks.
A decade ago, the Internet was something only “techies” talked about. It
was a new limitless source of information, with very few users. Today, the
Internet has already become an essential part of our lives. It’s where we access
our banking records, credit card statements, tax returns and other highly sensitive
personal information. By the end of this decade, over 2 billion people will be
connected to the Internet—that’s about half the world’s current population. But
with all the good things the Internet offers us, it also opens the door to serious,
potentially devastating threats. Unlike corporate and government computer
systems, few personal computers have any safeguards beyond basic virus
protection. That means anytime you’re online, you are a potential target for online
criminals and hackers. And if you have high-speed Internet access, your computer
is online most of the time, making Internet criminals and hackers a 24-hour-a-day,
year-round threat to you, your personal information, and your family. When you
access the Internet, your computer sends a message over the Web that uniquely
identifies your computer and where it is located. This allows the information
you’ve requested to be returned to you. Often, this requested information carries
with it unwanted hidden software created by hackers and online criminals. This
software installs itself on your computer and can either be just a nuisance or pose
a more serious threat to you, your identity and sensitive financial information.
Usually the nuisances are visible and easy to identify, while the more dangerous
threats are typically invisible, silent, and difficult to detect until it’s too late. The
key to a safe, enjoyable Internet experience is understanding the difference
between what a threat is and what isn’t.
