How would had been our life if there were no laptops or computers? Would I have been writing this blog post? Would you be reading it? Would you be sitting on the chair/couch you are sitting on (Probably, if it were handmade)
The point I am making is that mostly all the things that we use today have indirect connection to computers in some of the other way. Like the chair you are sitting on, if its not a handmade one then there is a pretty good chance that it was carved out by machine which was programmed using a computer. May be the chair was designed using a computer software. With computer our communication has become so easy. I have heard stories of my grandmother waiting for hours to get in contact with my grandfather who used to live across seven oceans for quite a while, but now we have Skype to chat within seconds.
We never think of a life without computers, because with the dependence that we have on them today it would simply be impossible to live. We take them for granted. Engineers have made it so cheap that almost everyone has it now. About couple years ago they were luxury only for the rich, but now everyone has it. Even if there is someone who doesnt has it can go to library and use it.
Laptops and computers are highly complicated on the inside, but we dont have to care about it because engineers have been successful in hiding the complex part by masking it with easy softwares so that even a two year old can use it.
