Look at the article again. What do we add to the noun power to make an adjective? What do you think we add to make the negative form?


Sixty-five years ago, scientists called the first computer 'Baby'. But it was huge. It needed a whole room to itself! A team of people wrote three Maths problems and then waited 52 minutes for Baby to find the answer to just one of them. At the time, this was amazing. Computers are now both much smaller, don't forget your smartphone is a mini computer, and also more powerful. There is more power in a smartphone than in all the computers on Apollo 11, the first spacecraft on the moon! What's more, with new touchscreen technology, soon we won't need extra things like a keyboard or a mouse. So, how will computers change in the future? A computer's 'brain' is in its chip and in the future scientists will be able to save much more information on this. So, computers will be smaller and even more powerful and they may even think like humans. In the future, we may not need to tell computers what to do because they might decide for themselves.​

To make an adjective from the noun "power," we add the suffix "-ful." So, the adjective form would be "powerful."

To make the negative form of an adjective, we often add the prefix "un-" or "in-." So, the negative form of "powerful" would be "powerless" or "unpowerful."

It's fascinating to think about how computers have evolved over the years and how they will continue to change in the future. Who knows what amazing advancements we'll see next!
