USING COMPUTERS FOR DISCOVERY
PREDICTING NATURAL DISASTES
Weather forecasting
Two parts to predicting
Real weather conditions are recorded
The data is processed
A supercomputer can process many data really fast
Supercomputers are used for this
Meteorologists can predict the course of hurricanes
Warning about weather gives time to people to prepare
Earthquakes
Parts of the earth move violenty
This causes buildings to collapse
Scientists know that an earthquakes is going to happen but not when
MEDICAL DISCOVERY

Develop new drugs and other treatments
Predict possible bad effects
Help doctors
Animal and Human testing
Drugs are tested on animals
Can be danger for people involved
Clinical trial
Tested on small group of humans
An be dangerous
DNA
DNA computers
Millions of calculations
Large amount of data
Repair cells
Able to travel through the body
SPACE DISCOVERY
