COMPUTERS HAVE MADE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE



Nowadays computers are present everywhere, and it’s a great question if they have made our world a better place.
I have some arguments for and against computers.

A good point for the computers is that communication between people from all over the world is much simpler (family, friends, business…) in addition information can be easily stored, classified, accessed, transferred…Therefore business can complete contracts much easier without travelling.
What is more, large amounts of information can be stored in a small area, so it means less wasting paper.
Another reason is that school and work projects can be organised and presented clearly.
Additionally you have access to amounts of info and you can study for degrees or certificates on the internet (for example open university).
With the computers we are able to background knowledge on people, finding out if they are legitimate or not.
Finally, you can bank or shop on the internet making life much easier for everyone.

But not all is positive; there are some points against computers. For me the first point against computers is that children advance too quickly and this means a shorter childhood. They have access to information unnecessary and sometimes unsuitable.
Computers kills children imaginations (no more inventive games with cars, dolls…).
Moreover they make people lazy with the on-line shopping and banking.
Another point against computers is that internet is destroying the music and cinema industry because people download.
Another bad point of internet is that it has expanded the pornography industry.
With internet is easy to steal other people work and ideas.
A lot of false information is given and sometimes people do not learn to look up information in encyclopaedias, dictionaries, newspapers…
Finally, if you don’t save your work or information regularly if the computer crashes or there is a virus you lose everything.
