Read the following passage and answer the questions
Ballpoint pen is a pen that has, as its name says, ball at its point which rotates when dragged across the writing surface and leaves behind ink that comes from the reservoir of the pen. Ball at the point can be of different diameter and can be made of brass, steel, or tungsten carbide. It is today the most widespread writing instrument and has literally changed the way we write.
Trying to invent a pen which can write on leather, a tanner John J. Loud invented the first ballpoint pen and patented it in 1888 in America. This pen had a small steel ball which was placed so it could not fall out nor fall in but it still could rotate freely. This invention was not commercially viable and could not be used for writing. Because of that patent lapsed in time.

We are all around computers. Computers play an important play in our day to day lives, like we are very much dependent them for doing many things including giving users the ability to quickly and easily store and process data. Since the invention of computer they have evolved in terms of increased computing power and decreased size. Computers are used in many sectors like Education, Health and Medicine, Financial Institutions, Transport System, E-Commerce, Defence etc.
Computers connect us to the world of unknown. They help us gathering knowledge and huge information from the internet and storing it. Computers are multitasking and accurate enough to be used almost anywhere and everywhere including banks. Computer provide security from destructive forces and from unwanted action from unauthorized users like cyber attack or access attack.
Now computer is not just a calculating device, it has become much more than that. One of the main advantages of computer is its incredible speed, which helps human to complete their task in few seconds. All the operations can be performed very fast just because of its speed else wise it takes a long time to perform the task.
Question: Computers are not used in Defence.
A. True
B. False
