Computers are extremely popular all over the world. They connect people to their workplace. As computers have become powerful tools for the rapid and economic production of pictures, computer graphics has emerged as one of the most rapidly growing fields in computer science. It is used routinely in such diverse areas as business, industry, art, government, education, research, training and medicine. One of the initial uses of computer graphics, and ultimately its greatest use has been as an aid to design, generally referred to as computer-aided design (CAD). One of its greatest advantages is that designers can see how an object will look after construction and make changes freely and much more quickly than with hand drafting. For three-dimensional rendering of machine parts, engineers now rely heavily on CAD. Automobile, spacecraft, aeroplane and ship designers use CAD techniques to design vehicles and test their performance. Building designs are also created with computer graphics systems. Architects can design a building layout, create a three-dimensional model, and even go for a simulated “walk” through the rooms or around the outside of the building.
Business graphics is another rapidly growing area of computer graphics, where it is used to create graphs, charts and cost models to summarize financial, statistical, mathematical, scientific and economic data. As an educational aid, computer graphics can be used to create weather maps and cartographic materials. Computer art also has creative and commercial art applications, where it is used in advertising, publishing and film productions, particularly for computer animation, which is achieved by a sequential process.

Water kills thousands of people and destroys many acres of crops every year. But water also gives life all living things in the world. We must have water to grow our food, feed animals in our homes, and generate . Even the human body, which is seventy parts of one hundred of water itself, cannot for long without water.
Even since the earth began, large quantities of water have been used by living things. Yet for every drop of water is taken from one place, another drop is put back from somewhere else. Nature has a very clever way of carrying water from cloud to land and sea and back to cloud. No water has been lost. But nature does not put water where and we need it. While some men are drowning, others in another part of the world are dying of thirst. So people all over the world are trying to water to places where it is scarce, to control its flow in times of floods and to make greater use of it.
