The invention of the petrol engine at the end of the 19th century led to

18、 another enormous change in our lives. And the computer is almost certainly going to be no less important an invention than these engines were. Just as there was a Stone Age, an Iron Age and so on, we have been living for centuries in a Paper Age, when almost all information was kept and sent on pap

19、er. However, to provide us with this paper, numerous trees have to be cut down every year.

Computers allow one to send information to others anywhere in the world,

20、 through the Internet, and to receive information from them. One can send a long message more quickly from England to Australia, for example, than from ones house to someone in the garden. Computers are not only used for writing; they can produce diagrams and pictures, and can even be used for playi

27、being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made.

28、dentify preferred customers for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer-aided marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw
