Computer graphics is an art of drawing pictures, lines, charts, etc using computers with the help of
programming. Computer graphics is made up of number of pixels. Pixel is the smallest graphical picture or unit
represented on the computer screen. Basically, there are two types of computer graphics namely.

Computer Graphics involves a two-way communication between computer and user. Here the observer is
given some control over the image by providing him with an input device for example the video game controller of
the ping pong game. This helps him to signal his request to the computer. The computer on receiving signals from
the input device can modify the displayed picture appropriately. To the user it appears that the picture is changing
instantaneously in response to his commands. He can give a series of commands, each one generating a graphical
response from the computer. In this way he maintains a conversation, or dialogue, with the computer.

Interactive computer graphics affects our lives in a number of indirect ways. For example, it helps to train the
pilots of our airplanes. We can create a flight simulator which may help the pilots to get trained not in a real
aircraft but on the grounds at the control of the flight simulator. The flight simulator is a mock-up of an aircraft
flight deck, containing all the usual controls and surrounded by screens on which we have the projected computer-
generated views of the terrain visible on take-off and landing. Flight simulators have many advantages over the real
aircrafts for training purposes, including fuel savings, safety, and the ability to familiarize the trainee with a large
number of the world’s airports.

1. A) Read the text and try to understand its content.

You and your family are at risk of virtual attacks.

A decade ago, the Internet was something only “techies” talked about. It was a new limitless source of
information, with very few users. Today, the Internet has already become an essential part of our lives. It’s where
we access our banking records, credit card statements, tax returns and other highly sensitive personal information.
By the end of this decade, over 2 billion people will be connected to the Internet—that’s about half the world’s
current population. But with all the good things the Internet offers us, it also opens the door to serious, potentially
devastating threats. Unlike corporate and government computer systems, few personal computers have any
safeguards beyond basic virus protection. That means anytime you’re online, you are a potential target for online
criminals and hackers. And if you have high-speed Internet access, your computer is online most of the time,
making Internet criminals and hackers a 24-hour-a-day, year-round threat to you, your personal information, and
your family. When you access the Internet, your computer sends a message over the Web that uniquely identifies
your computer and where it is located. This allows the information you’ve requested to be returned to you. Often,
this requested information carries with it unwanted hidden software created by hackers and online criminals. This
 software installs itself on your computer and can either be just a nuisance or pose a more serious threat to you, your
identity and sensitive financial information. Usually the nuisances are visible and easy to identify, while the more
dangerous threats are typically invisible, silent, and difficult to detect until it’s too late. The key to a safe, enjoyable
Internet experience is understanding the difference between what a threat is and what isn’t.
