Humanity strives to free its life from unnecessary problems as much as possible. Therefore, it comes up with various robots, ready to perform any programmed work. Sometimes it turns out so that you can only gasp! However, many do not understand what is at stake. "What is a bot?" they ask. Consider who or, rather, what is it, what is the purpose of "it" and generalize the data.
1. What is it all about?
As already mentioned, at the moment there are many robots (in short - bots). They can carry out such a volume of work that a person can never do. However, they have a significant drawback. Thank God, they still do not know how to think. And, therefore, directly depend on the person. That is why, the question: "What is a bot?" slightly wrong, because at the moment there is no artificial reason.
2. What are they for?
The Internet is a huge network in which people can not only spend their free time, search for necessary information and have fun, but also make commercial actions. As a rule, in order to have successful business in the virtual space, it is necessary to notify
other Internet users about their site. To automate this process, special programs have been invented. For example, there are bots for ICQ. Their tasks are simple. First, they are added to several thousand users, then they send them messages of the same type. Several recipients can follow the link, so the task of the program will be completed. Of course, there are similar things for other purposes, but they are less popular. These include an answering machine for an ISQ agent. A bot translator is equally popular. True, only a small part of users are ready to resort to its services so far. The fact is that the quality of the translation is poor. It is worth saying that large financial resources are involved in this direction, so soon the situation should change for the better. Do not forget about all kinds of online games, the developers of which create recreational robots to create a realistic atmosphere, the actions of which are calculated by the computer.
3. The position of bots on the Internet
Earlier it was mentioned for what purpose these obscure, mysterious wards of the computer were introduced. After all, five years ago no one knew what a bot was. However, now most people know that it is scammers who resort to the services of such programs. Yes, do not forget that someone else writes them and receives money for this. With the help of such helpers, you can quickly raise your level in the game, automatically set hearts on social networks, translate some texts, download music, earn money by automatically clicking on links, and much more. There is a fully justified opinion that evaluates all the actions of automatic programs with the lowest score. And you should not forget that the Internet was originally created to exchange information between people. But when a programmed machine works under the image of a person, which absolutely does not care what to do, the initial task, as they say, comes to naught.
Now you know what a bot is. In brief, this is a special program; its purpose is to make life easier for some people, however, sometimes other Internet users may suffer because of this.
