Computer
Computer is very important in the modern life. Speed and accuracy in obtaining information are
much needed. Solving the problem and making decision are necessities. In these cases, computer offers
us much help. It has ability to process data quickly and accurately.
The word computer derives from Latin word ‘computare’. It means to consider. It is now well-
known as an automatic electronic medium. It is able to store, collect and process data.
The computer machine consists of three major devices. They are input devices, Central
Processing Unit and output devices.
Input devices are parts that can be used to enter instructions or data into computer. They consist
of keyboard, light pen, mouse, scanner and optical mark reader.
Central Processing Unit or CPU is the brain of the computer. Here the instructions and data
from the input devices are processed and filed into computer memory system. There are two types of
memory system. They are external memory and internal memory. External memory-all instructions and
data either before or after processing-will be stored in diskette or hard disk in CPU of the computer.
Internal memory is a part o the system that is used to store data and programmes either permanently or
temporally.
Output devices-the instructions and data that enter the computer will be processed. The output
or the result will be displayed in output devices; such as screen monitor and printer.
The use of computer increases significantly in recent years, not only in business, but also in
school as well as at home.
Ondel-ondel is very popular in Jakarta. It is a giant with horrible face. The male ondel-ondel is
dressed like a man. He has a sword at his hip and a shawl over his shoulder. The female ondel-ondel
has a pair of earrings. She also has a shawl over her shoulder. Their heads are decorated with colourful
paper strings. Ondel-ondel is made of bamboo structure. Its face is made of wood-mask. Its hair is
made of palm-fiber. A man inside the structure moves it. The movement is very clumsy. Its arms are
dropping.
A pair of ondel-ondel are usually performed to celebrate circumcision. Tradirional music like
gambang keroncong, qasidah, tanjidor or gendang pencak, accompanies the procession. Of course
children are interested to follow it.
In the old days, people believed that a couple of ondel-ondel was manifestation of a god and
goddess who would protect the circumcised boy from danger or evil. Now ondel-ondel is performed to
welcome guests in opening ceremonies held in Jakarta and places nearby.
The largest use of ships is made by carrying goods from country to country. Ships can contain
vaster quantities of goods than any other means of transport, and can therefore do the transport more
cheaply. On the other hand, ships are slower than trains or airplanes.
The slowness means that travelers who want to go somewhere in hurry and who have not got
too much luggage now usually prefer to fly than to go by ship. But even for passengers, a ship has the
advantage of being cheaper than trains or airplanes, and also much more comfortable. So, if you want a
restful, not too expensive journey, the ship will suit you best.
Nowadays, many children spend a lot of their time in front of the television. Some people say
that watching television can damage a child’s development, while some other say that the television
programmes can delight and educate children if they get a proper guidance. However, TV viewing is
often unguided.
Heavy viewing, two or three hours daily, can make children passive and less imaginative.
Watching TV over a long period is not as creative as reading. When children like watching TV too
much, they are reluctant to read because reading needs more effort. Pre-school children pay less if they
spend too much time watching TV. This is bad because playing is important for growing up children. It
helps them become more imaginative, less anxious and improves their ability to communicate with
others.
It is important that parents guide their children to watch TV. The programmes on TV can
influence children’s lives. Children should watch the programmes that develops good attitudes, for
example, ones that give children a better understanding of the world. Children should not watch the
programmes which are full of violence. Some children are too young to understand such shows. They
may try to imitate the violence.
Parents should limit the number of hours of watching TV. Children under fourteen should only
watch TV one or two hours a day. Pre-school children should be limited to one hour a day.
