Long ago a lot of people thought the moon was a God . Other people thought it was just a light in the sky . And others thought it was a big ball of cheese .
Then telecopes were made .And men saw that the moon was really another world . They wondered what it was like . They dreamed of going there .
On July 20 , 1969 , that dream came true . Two American men landed on the moon . Their names were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin .
The first thing the men was that the moon is covered with dust . The dust is so thick that the men left footprints where they walked . Those were the first marks a living thing had ever made on the moon . And they could stay there for years and years . There is no wind or rain to wipe them off .
The two men walked on the moon for hours . They picked up rocks to bring back to us for study . They dug up dirt to bring back . They set up machines to find out things people wanted to know . Then they climbed back into their moon landing craft .
Next day the landing craft roared as the two men took off from the moon . They joined Micheal Collins in the spaceship that waited for them above the moon . Then they were off on their long trip back to earth .
Behind them they left the plains and tall mountains of the moon . They left the machines they had set up . And they left footprints that may last forever .

Computing is now at the same stage as printing was when the first printing presses were used. Before printing presses were invented, only rich people like kings and dukes could afford to buy books. Often these people were unable to read and hadn’t enough time to learn. In any case, the books were so big that it was difficult for anyone to relax with a book as we do today. They wanted booked because they were expensive and there was something magical about them. Only a few people were able to write, and it took an extremely long time to write a book. Monks and other people who could write said ordinary people could not learn to read.

The position with computers is very similar today. A few years ago, computers were very large and expensive. Business managers and rich people ordered them but they didn’t know how to use them. In many countries, however, the situation has now completely changed. Lots of people not only own microcomputer but also know how to use them.
