Both the entity is similar in a way that both entities are performing the function of management, organization or controlling of something. The comparison between both the entities can be made on following aspects:
Like the CPU, which takes control of all the task which is performed on the screen (monitor), in the same way, brain is also like CPu, which takes control of all the activities performed by human body. The instructions to perform any task is generated by the brain of human.
It can also be stated as the more the CPU have processing speed, the more it can perform in a short time, whereas, quite is the case of brain, the more it is healthy and genius, more control it can perform in a short time.
The storage device of CPU can also be used to describe the human brain. More the storage device is, the more it can store the files and data in its storage device. In the same way, the brain of human memorizes the events and incidents of our life that can be recalled by the wish of human.
The malfunctioning of the CPU is also a great example of comparison with the human brain. If the person is ill, he won’t be able to perform any task in efficient manner. Same is the case with CPU, which can also perform any task if it is out of order or infected with virus.

Memorable day of my life
The most important and memorable day of my life was when I was with one of my best friends, Noman, and we were on our way to home. The reason I remember this day so well is that it affected not only my life but also the lives of millions of people who witnessed the event with their own eyes. It was the day when the renowned political leader in the history of Pakistan, Bibi Benazir Bhutto, was shot to death and chaos took place in almost every part of Karachi.
Unfortunately I and my friend were also the victims of this incident. We had long been planning to get my friend’s car modified and so we were out on the streets of Zamzama looking for the latest tools that would best fit the car. The very first thing that was to be done was selecting some gear for the outlook of the car. So we started looking up for seat covers, rims, bumper stickers. When one is out looking for the latest modification tools with someone as picky as my friend, times flies by unnoticed. And as it turned out to be, we were already running behind the tentative schedule we had mentally prepared for ourselves. So we started searching for a sound system which was the last thing on my friend’s list.
By the time we started leaving, it was 5:30. Everything was going according to the conventional way until we noticed an usual traffic jam, however, we disregarded this peculiar thought as traffic jams were nothing new to us and started blabbing about the “more” important things in our lives. As we glided in our car a bit further, we noticed a sudden haphazard. A large angry mob was out on the streets with hockey sticks and bats in their hands, making sure that every shutter was down. This sudden incident caught us off-handedly and we were in a sudden state of panic. We overheard someone shouting Leader of PPP has been shot to death! The immediate thing that came into our minds was to get away from that place before the conditions further worsened.
We managed to get out of the chaos and had the guts to stop by at a calmer place to enquire if what we heard was true. The not-so-interested man standing near a paan shop said that it was just a rumor. We tried very hard to believe in him and hoped that it was only a rumor. But by looking at the sudden awkward silence, our instincts warned us that things were not as simple as they seemed to be.
Some prevailed in us and we decided not to take any risk and head home. Another shock was when we heard gunshots at a distance. People started panicking and were running here and there to save their lives. The safest way out was to look for some safe alleys. Although we were fully aware of those streets but in that panic every street seemed to be new, we had no idea where we were going. While we were trying to find our way to home in those alien alleys another major dilemma was that our cell phone networks died. There was no way to inform our parents about how we were or where we were. Somehow, we managed to text on one of our folk’s cell phones that we were safe and will be coming back home as soon as the traffic allowed us. After informing our parents, we parked our car at a place where we might get safe from any harm. The place where we parked our car was totally alien to us and so our first task was to find out where we were. The place seemed to be deserted and after a few minutes, we found a store that was surprisingly open. We entered the store, bought some chips and drinks, enquired from the store owner about the location. Instead of replying to our question, he asked, “Which area are you from?”
We replied, “We are from Garden area and due to Benazir’s incident, we rushed out into alleys and lost our way.”
He said that, “You’ve entered in Defence and I think you guys should stay here in the store until the situation gets under control.”
We thanked him for his generous advice and then we rushed towards our car.
We sat there for few minutes and then decided to move on. Again, after driving for 25minutes, we finally entered Tariq Road. We thanked God for reaching there safely atleast this time we knew where we were at. We were moving on and then again we started hearing the gunshots at a distance. Again, we decided to wait somewhere where we could get safe from any harms. After waiting there for 10 minutes, we started moving on and finally reached in our area and we were no longer worried, and moving on as if nothing has happened. As we were moving, we saw some people robbing the bank while KFC was set on fire. The angry mob tried stopping our car as well, but we took a chance by not stopping because we knew that the consequences were bad either ways. I hit the accelerator, turned into the now known allies and finally entered the safety and security of our society. The moment I entered my house, I could see my family thanking God for my safe return.
So, this was one wisp of the many memories that is never going to whither away as long as I live. It was one experience when I saw the brutality and the hostility of the angry mob, the fear on people’s faces and my own feelings towards the entire incident.

Importance of Computer
The very significance of the 21st century lies in the advancement in the dynamic field of information technology. This era is completely dominated by different types of computers from desktop computers at homes to the main frames in firms, and from bar code readers in super markets to PDAs used by the sophisticated class; everywhere you look you see some sort of computer. About ten years ago it was a rare thing to find someone with a computer and people would give awed looks to those who had one. As time went on computers became just as common as television sets in our homes. The importance of computers was highlighted with the introduction of internet which allows access to any piece of information in the world. Now it seems if you don’t have an Internet connection, what is the point of having a computer. Computers and technology are totally giving the workplace, education, and for that matter the world a complete overhaul. As I see the metamorphosis happen before my eyes I believe that it is imperative that young children and adults of all ages become familiar with and start using this new super tool called the computer. The importance of computer literacy could not be stressed enough among children. The computer is just going to become a bigger and bigger tool in our new cyber-space era. The computer should be introduced to youngsters in the low elementary grades and slowly worked into the curriculum to become a major part of the student’s everyday agenda. I believe that in the future homework assignments and reports will have to be sent into the teacher via e-mail, as the matter of fact; laptops are being used by students to do their assignments and submitting it to their teachers via email. Computer literacy is a must for the next generation. If computer literacy is to be made common among youth it is necessary that their parents should have computer knowledge as well.
If we take a glance at our lives, we can clearly see that computer is playing an important task in almost every aspects of our life. People do have some sort of interactions with computers. The influence of computer is universal. Computers are used in applications ranging from running a firm, diagnosing a disease, and designing to constructing and launching a space vehicle. Because the development of computers has been largely the work of scientists, it is natural that a large body of computer applications serves the scientist. To solve scientific problems researchers must deal with the language of science: mathematics. To understand more deeply complex natural phenomena, scientists must use complex mathematical relationships and volumes of data too impossible to manage without the aid of computers. Many scientific computer programs serve the entire population. If we take an example of computer being used in daily life, we can have an example of word processing that is used almost everywhere. Word processing is a type of application which eases the users by correcting the spelling and grammar mistakes automatically. If the content of a document repeats you don’t have to type it each time. You can use the copy and paste features. You can printout documents and make several copies. It is easier to read a word-processed document than a handwritten one. Similarly, internet is one of the examples of common used of our daily life, which is a network of almost all the computers in the world. We can have very fast and convenient access to information i.e. we can browse through much more information than we could do in a library, which also enables the person to save his time as well as energy consumed to find the relevant information by going through many books. Moreover, audio/ video composition and editing have been made much easier by computers. It no longer costs thousands of dollars of equipment to compose music or make a film. Graphics engineers can use computers to generate short or full-length films or even to create three-dimensional models. Anybody owning a computer can now enter the field of media production. Special effects in science fiction and action movies are created using computers.
Computers have leapfrogged the human society into another league. It is used in each and every aspect of human life. It is difficult to imagine a world bereft of computers. This revolutionary technology is indeed a boon to the human race.

ILLITERACY in PAKISTAN
“Illiteracy” one of the growing issues for the economic development of Pakistan refers to a person who is ignorant and is not able to read and write. In Pakistan, according to recent survey, it has been concluded that only 54% of the total population is literate. However, this percentage is a little misleading since it also includes the mass who can sign their names and have been put into this category. Illiteracy offers resistance in the progress and development of an individual, as well as society. The purpose of this essay is to analyze main aspects which give rise to the concept of illiteracy in Pakistan.
The first and immediate cause of illiteracy in Pakistan is the economic standing of people of Pakistan. The economy of Pakistan in general is poverty ridden. Illiteracy is directly linked with poverty. It is the most depressive feature of Pakistani people and particularly the people of Pakistan living in rural areas where the people are living beyond the poverty line. They are un-health, ill-fed and ill-clothed; they tend to learn some skills for their livelihood only to be followed by their children to fulfill the basic necessities of life. As a result, they get fewer opportunities of getting quality education, and consequently the teenagers get engaged in their father’s occupation in order to earn for their livings.
The second cause of illiteracy in Pakistan is the mindset of the people of Pakistan which brings up the concept of child labor. Some people think that being educated is worthless, so they send their children to work against their children’s will in the ages in which they are meant to get education. This is due to the lack of awareness about the significance of education. The government of Pakistan should take adequate steps in order to eradicate this problem.
Illiteracy in female population is evident as most of the extremist and other and conservative people consider educating females worthless. The traditional picture of a girl doing the household chores and raising children has been rubbed into their minds and therefore, they cannot be convinced to let their daughters gain knowledge.
If the government fails to take any action against the mentioned causes, the effects will be directly on the economy of Pakistan. If the problem of poverty remains unsolved, which can be solved by government by giving more and more employment opportunites, it will destroy the economy as there will be more ill-fed, ill-clother and unhelath people than healthy person on which the economy of one country is dependent. The mindset of people will affect the economy in a way, that people will be aware of particular skills but to develop or enhance the skill will be the major problem for them. Similarly, according to Islamic Law, girls have equal rights on everything. If the government fails to organize campaigns to eradicate the fact that females are only bound to household works and not professional work, the picture of Arabia before the advent of Islam will be the fate of Pakistan.
Therefore, it can be concluded that strict measures should be taken to eradicate these root causes which resists the spread of education. The government of Pakistan should organize some campaigns against the awareness of education, cheap but quality education should be made available to lower income masses for educating them is the only way to bring peace and serenity in our country.
