1 Look at the photos. How was the first computer different from modern computers?

PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

Seventy years ago, scientists called the first computer 'Baby'. But it was huge. It needed a whole room to itself! A team of people wrote three Maths problems and then waited 52 minutes for Baby to find the answer to just one of them. At the time, this was amazing.

Computers are now much smaller and much more powerful. And you don't have to be a scientist to use them. Half the world's population now use the Internet and children are growing up with computers in their homes and in their schools. In the UK, students in about 75% of schools use tablet computers in the classroom, and one in ten schools provides a tablet for every student. It won't be long before this number gets higher.

How will computers change in the future? A computer's 'brain' is in its chip and in the future this will be able to hold more information. So computers will be even more powerful and they may even think like humans. In the future, we may not need to have teachers in the classroom – students might learn everything everything they need to know from 'intelligent' computer programs.

FACT! Need a new hip, knee or face? Doctors can now use 3D printers to make some parts of the body.
