This page will help us all to learn about programs that are used to control things.

Have a look at this link and write in your own words what you learnt:

Computers can control stuff remotely or wired. They can be used to control wide arrays of ouput devices such as traffic lights or ACs.
They can also sense things through different types of sensors, such as heat, infrared, temperature, magnetic, or pressure. These things will make the computer do something in certain conditions.
