Computer have made the world a better place

dijous, 27 de novembre del 2008


Over the last years there have been major developments concerning computers. Now almost everyone uses computers. There are positive and negative resluts of this.

On one hand computers have improved and increased efficiency in a lot of Industries, such as the engineering industry. What is more we need less paper, less space, all information can be stored on computer or discs.
In addition, through computers, communication, local or world wide, is easier.
Another reasun is students can look up informationm, organise and present their projects and even study for diplomas and certificates on the computer.
Finally, our lives are easier people can bank and shop on-line and it is another option to watching TV and fill in time.

On the other hand children fill in time on the computer instead of studying or using their imagination to invent games. Moreover, children and students are losing the skills to research information in encyclopedias, dictionaries and libraries.
Students copy the information from the computer instead of writing their own work.
Alhough industry has been improved by computers a lot of workers lose their work when computers take over the world.
We have access to a lot of inapropriate information, and in addition, our privacy is invaded, banks, employers, etc can look on about us.
Lastly, every year we get lazier, we do not need to move from the computer.

I understand there are reasons for and against computers improving our lives, but as I am a student I am for computers because it makes it easier for me to complete my studies and projects. We have so much work to do we do not have time to go to libraries, look in encyclopedies for research and then to handwrite it all.
