my favorite book is « the adventures of sherlock holmes» by a well-known great writer sir arthur conan doyle.  arthur conan doyle was born on the 22 of may in 1859 in scotland. in 1881 he finished univercity as a doctor, but in 1882 he began his writing career. his popular  detective stories about holmes and watson were written in 1891 and were firstly published in 1892.they tell us about adventures of a very clever, brave and inimitable detective sherlock holmes and his best and true friend doctor john watson. it is very interesting that holmes is a person, who really existed. professor of edinburgh university mr. joseph bell was his prototype. once conan doyle wanted to kill his character, but his fans didn`t like this idea at all, so he wrote more stories about sherlock holmes. in my opinion public love these detective stories because holmes differs from other detectives, combination of absolutely different qualities makes him very timely nowadays. but  he wrote not only about holmes. there are a lot of romances, novels and humorous stories by conan doyle.   i suppose that everyone should read books which were written by sir arthur conan doyle, because they are very original, interesting, amusing and exciting. it is very easy to read these wonderful books too.                            

 

there are also a number of benefits that our lives have become dependent on computers. first, it is much easier to guard offices, businesses, companies, apartment complexes and parks. if earlier it was necessary for each floor or around the perimeter of protection set to constantly watch what is happening, but now thanks to computerization, just install surveillance cameras and watch what is happening on your computer screen.

 

second, modern computers (laptops, netbooks), you can easily take with you on a business trip, on vacation or just out for a walk in the park. their compact size, light weight and the ability to work a few hours without a network gives more freedom businessman. it also gives the possibility to be always connected. after all, you always and e-mail, and the internet, and all the office applications. moreover, the information that you might need on the road, just fit in a small computer.

third, computers help our children develop faster. for example, to see the bishop, or to learn how to lion roars, not necessarily wait for the transfer of the animals or go to the zoo (especially in winter). all this can be a baby show at any time thanks to a computer and the internet.

recently, computers and their ability to allow us to create a more comfortable living - smart home, for example, as well as simplify production processes, reduce labor costs and much more. i can safely say that the presence of computers in our lives - it is an advantage.
