Computers run everything from power grids, water utilities, TV satellites, and telephone networks to cars and coffee makers. Try to envision our lives if all programs were suddenly wiped out. Also try to appreciate the total effort that was needed to develop this invisible universe. Software Applications Large business systems Databases Internet, e-mail, etc. Military Embedded systems Scientific research AI Word processing and other small business and personal productivity tools Graphics / arts / digital photography Games 2- The idea of developing intelligent computers (AI, or artificial intelligence) came about as soon as (or perhaps before) the first computer. Over the years the expectations turned out to be too optimistic. Little progress to report so far. Software Development Emphasis on efficiency fast algorithms small program size limited memory use Often cryptic code Not user-friendly Emphasis on programmer’s productivity team development reusability of code .
