The first computers that were invented were the size of a huge room and were very slow using vacuum tubes instead of today’s silicone chips. Today’s computers use very sophisticated chips and are extremely fast processors that can process billions of numbers in a split second. Just about every company in the world uses some kind of computer to get the work done quicker and more efficiently. For example, the car industry uses computers to build cars on the assembly line instead of having people to do the manual labor and it makes things go a lot faster and smoother.

If people had to go back to the old way of contacting people and getting answers very quickly, it would be a terrible thing after having all this technology right in front of you and having it all taken away just for a few minutes of your everyday business routine.
The use of computers and the technology that it brings to the use in weather and how a forecast can be predicted is becoming faster and more accurate. By the use of radars that have been sent out into space and the use of computers to read them and also by the use of televisions, it can tell us in our own home what the weather will be like and all that is done by the technology that a computer have brought to us.
