COMPUTERS

A. They say, you have bought a computer?

B. Yes, now I have got my own computer.

A. That’s fine. And what type of a computer have you got?

B. The most common type, a digital one.

A. By the way, do you know what it means "a digital computer"?

В. It goes without saying. Digital computers deal with numbers. All data – pictures, sounds, symbols, and words are translated into numbers inside the computer.

A. Yes, you are right. Digital computers are so widespread that the word "computer" almost always refers to a digital computer. But there are 3 types of computers: digital, analog, and hybrid ...

B. Sorry for interrupting you. I do know about it. Analog computers work with a physical quantity, such as weight, speed, temperature. They solve problems by measuring a quantity in terms of another quantity. Do you understand it?

A. Yes, certainly, for example, they measure temperature in terms of the length of a thin line of liquid in a thermometer.

B. Good for you. And when are you going to buy a computer? You know so much about the computers.

A. You see, I haven’t got such a large amount of money.

B. Take it easy. You may use my computer.

A. Thanks a lot.

B. You are welcome.
