In my opinion the benefits of computers outweights the negatives;
You can use computers to kill of time with the varied games available online, surf the internet watching videos and listening to music, it's a good way to relax and ease stress, this has helped society as people use this as an alernative for anti-social behaviour.
It's also used for purchasing and selling products online which is much easier and safer (depending on what site used) as you do not have to put the effort in going out which makes life better.
The way people learn and teach from obtaining information from the web, particularly using search engines, has made a big impact on the way we learn and obtain other information as it is much quicker than going to library to look something up resulting in more revision time.
It's helped us to find out the Weather forecast as it measures the wind, temperature and other factors to predict what the future weather outcomes will be, this has helped us as we have been more cautious and prepared during windy or snowy days, it's possibly even saved people's life as they are more prepared for extreme conditions.
Computers have also helped developed the world's scientific research, for example we can use computers to observe ancient fossils and predict how long ago they were made, this has helped us develop our awareness of the sanctity of life.
The net effect of all these innovations is to make this world a more connected place. For example individuals can not only communicate with others anywhere in the world instantly and economically, but they can also buy and sell things worldwide on facilities websites like eBay. The business industry has become more efficient and effective due to availability of better and faster information. Also, in general the pace of life has quickened.
I like your opinion which can relat to anyone and also good topic as they are intesting ways we use computers for.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your response, I attempted to balance out the argument however, overall I believe that computers are surely more beneficial to society.
