Moreover, in the amidst of the pandemic today, computers are very capable of bringing along a medical revolution. Where in health sectors computers are being used for research regarding blood groups, medical histories, etc. and helping to improve medicine in a big way. The knowledge that computers are providing in this field may lead to better use and purchase of medicinal drugs and ensure better health. This also leads to a better diagnosing pattern and makes health care faster and more efficiently. Keeping all the above-mentioned things in mind, we must accept that if used the right way, computers are a gift of science to mankind. (3) Can you compute your thoughts? Answer: Searching “thought" in Google, i found a meaning saying “An idea or opinion produced by thinking, or occurring suddenly in the mind.” In my perspective, thoughts cannot be literally calculated for the reason that it is only a manifestation of our brain. However, it can be possible if the thought is transcribable into a numerical figure or any other forms that is possible to be computed.
