What are the applications of computers? Where is the future trend?

The application fields of computers can be summarized into five categories: scientific computing, information processing, process control, computer-aided design and manufacturing, and artificial intelligence.

(1) Scientific calculation. Scientific computing, also known as numerical computing, is the earliest field of computer application. The birth of the first electronic computer is due to the need to carry out a large number of data calculations and successful development. The computer has the characteristics of high speed, high accuracy, and can automatically and accurately run various instructions, so it should be applied to scientific computing in China's aerospace field, bioengineering field, artificial intelligence and other cutting-edge fields.

(2) Information processing. Information processing refers to the collection, processing, storage, transmission and other work of information with computers. Its purpose is to provide people with various needs with valuable information. Such as enterprise financial management, personal financial information, office automation, information retrieval and many other fields.

(3) Process control. Process control, also known as real-time control, refers to the use of computers to timely collect test data, and to quickly automatically control or adjust the control object according to the optimal value.

(4) Computer aided design. Computer aided design, also called CAD, helps people to carry out engineering and technical design in product modeling, architecture, electronics, etc. by using the functions of computer such as calculation and logical judgment.

(5) Artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is the use of computers to simulate human intelligent activities, such as judgment and understanding, learning, image recognition, problem solving, etc. The most representative application is artificial intelligence robot technology.

(6) Network communication. Network communication is a combination of computer, communication and network technology. It can conveniently and efficiently send and receive emails, publish and obtain various information materials, and conduct information exchange across the society. Such as video chat, telemedicine, online shopping, online game playing with friends thousands of miles away.
