Computing is now at the same stage as printing was when the first printing presses were

used. Before printing presses were invented, only rich people like kings and dukes could

afford to buy books. Often these people were unable to read and hadn’t enough time to

learn. In any case, the books were so big that it was difficult for anyone to relax with a

book as we do today. They wanted booked because they were expensive and there was

something magical about them. Only a few people were able to write, and it took an

extremely long time to write a book. Monks and other people who could write said

ordinary people could not learn to read.

The position with computers is very similar today. A few years ago, computers were very

large and expensive. Business managers and rich people ordered them but they didn’t

know how to use them. In many countries, however, the situation has now completely

changed. Lots of people not only own microcomputer but also know how to use them.
