What is a computer?

A computer is a machine with an intricate network of electronic circuits that operate switches. The switches, are capable of being in one or two possible states, that is, on or off; magnetized or demagnetized.

The basic idea of a computer is that we can make the machine do what we want by inputting signals

The basic job of computers is processing of information. Мost computers, whether large or small, have three basic capabilities.

First, computers have circuits for performing arithmetic operations, such as: addition, subtraction, division, multiplication and exponentiation.

Second, computers have a means of communicating with the user. The computer's input device (a disk drive or tape drive) reads the information into the computer. For outputting information two common devices used are: a printer and TV-like screen.

Third, computers have circuits which can make decisions. A computer can solve a series of problems and make thousands of logical decisions without becoming tired.

A computer can replace people in dull, routine tasks, but it works according to the instructions given to it.

Moscow the capital of Russia.

Moscow it is the city where every stone breathes history. Moscow was founded in 1147 by the Prince of Suzdal Jury Dolgoruky. Moscow was protected by rivers and a fortress. Moscow stands on 7 hills. The larger part of the city was occupied by private houses made of wood. But fortress walls, bridges, churches and cathedrals were made of brick and white stone.

In 1812 during Napoleon invasion a terrible fire destroyed more then 7000 buildings and the city’s central. As a result a great number of stone houses appeared in the city. New dwelling districts and industrial enterprises were built on the outskirts of the city. A major feature of Moscow’s present development is the establishment industries and the development if new technologies.

In the recent years the population of Moscow reached 12 million and it is still growing. This resulted in large-scale migration of people. Moscow has a transport problem. the most convenient means of transport in Moscow is the metro. And the second problem is roads.

A new road link should be connect a few areas between the Moscow Circular Highway and the Sadovaya Ring Road. The territory within Sadovaya Ring Road will retain it is significance as a historical, cultural, educational and administrative public center.

The heart of Moscow is Red Square. The Kremlin and St.Basin’s Cathedral are masterpieces of Russia architecture. The Spasskaya Tower has became the symbol of the country. On the territory of Kremlin you can see old cathedrals, the Bell Tower, the Palace of Congress and the Tzar-Bell, the biggest cannon in the world. The Bolshoi Theater ia one the famous theaters all over the world. There are 9 railway stations and 5 airports. Moscow is a city of students. There are over 80 higher educational intuitions. Moscow State University at Sparrow hills is the heart of our education system.

Moscow today is an enormous city and in spirit open. hospitable and festive, so it can be called the heart of Russia. I think to feel the whole spirit of his need to visit Moscow.
