The article discusses the impact of the achievements and capabilities of modern computer technology on the development of science. The short history of computer science is presented. Using concrete examples the fundamentally new opportunities for research in various branches of natural sciences are illustrated. The use of computer is important to solve a number of new, unsolved in scope of traditional asymptotic methods, scientific problems. As a result, the new areas of research activity come into existence, and new organizational forms («collaboratories») of international research groups arise. Computer technologies open up possibilities for substantial intensification of cross-disciplinary research. Some problems and negative consequences of widespread use of computer technology in research are discussed.
