Santorini and the lost city of Atlantis
ATLANTIS.THE LOST CITY BENEATH THE SEA.ONE OF THE GREAT LEGENDS OF THE WORLD.SANTORINI,A UNIQUE,MODERN TOURIST RESORT,WHICH MAY JUST BE THE LOCATION OF THE LEGENDARY CITY.
A few years ago I was travelling through the Greek islands and ended up on Santorini,one of the most spectacular islands in Greece.I was travelling with one of my friends,Cecilia and as we approached the volcanic cliffs of the island she said,"this must be where the greek gods lived!!"
Although it may not be where the Greek gods came from,many people believe that santorin was once the location of the city of Atlantis which,according to Legend,sank beneath the sea after a violent volcano.Santorini is certainly the result of a violent volcanic explosion and the core of the volcano still rumbles ans smokes just off the coast of the main island.
The legend of Atlantis describes a prosperous island with a group of highly civilised and advanced peoples,that disappeared beneath the sea after the populationmade the god angry.It is one of mankind's oldest and most enduring myths and,like the biblical garden of Eden, represents a lost paradise.
The classical Atlantis story is the one told by the ancient greek philosopher,Plato.Like many writers of his time,plato did not write factual history, but rather a moral tale that is set against a backdrop of real events.And one of the most debated questions has always been the location of plato's Atlantis.
There are a number of clue's in Plato's story that make many people believe that the destructive Minoan volcanic euption on santorini is the closest event to the one in Plato's Atlantis.
However, this fascinating argument, now many decades old, is yet to be resolved, although visiting santorini makes it easy to imagine that a prosperous race of creative,cultured, and happy people once lived on this magical island.

COMPUTERS......HOW CUTE,NA....!!!!
Computers provoke and fascinate us.They are all around us now,and are likely to be so far a while now. Inevitably, they seem to provoke a strong response: some simply cannot do without them,while others look on the computer as a source of annoyance. But perhaps you would be better off if you could look beyond these sorts of responces.Neither it is a miracle working magic box,nor a new fangled nuisence.When used wisely, the computer can be a help,in virtually every field of your daily lives.
Functions Of A Computer:
Accepting Data:A Computer Can accept data from the user.
Processing Data:The accepted data can then be processed through a command,or series of commands.
Storing Data:The computers also offer you the facility of storing data for future reference,and use.
Retrieving Data:The stored data can be retrieved from the memory of the computer whenever required.
USAGE OF A COMPUTER:
Initially used in exclusively scientific and mathematical fields, the computer has immensely broadened the field of its application.One of the earliest field of practical application of the computer was in decoding enemy messages in wartime.Then came their use in space research,and computers were utilised for building control systems for events like the moon landing.Currently however, the greatest number of computers are being used in commerce and business.The folowing instances may give you some idea about the manifold uses of computers in our day-to day lives:
In weather forecasting and in research involving the earth's atmosphere,Data supplied by a worldwide network of space satellites and ground stations are fed into super-computers.These data are then analysed by a series of programmes to arrive at forecasts.
The Indian Airlines Computers can make around 30,000 entries of reservations in an hour- an that,too,from all over the country!!Computers not only make reservations more efficiently,but also eliminates the hazards and labour of manual systems.
