In our modern days, computer plays an important role in our daily life. Most people around the world are now using computer in their daily life. Similarly to my daily life, I am now using with personal computer, mobile computers, mobile devices and game consoles. The computers have been improved a lot because the development of technology. In addition, it can operate much faster than before. Based from Discovering Computers 2011, people use computers everywhere such as at work, at school and at home(Discovering computers 2011, 2011). Some people believe that computers are really usefule for them while others oppose with this idea. In my opinion, using computers have both pros and cons with I will describe below.
To begin with the positive point, firstly, computer can process data in a high speed as it can process billions or trillions of operations in one second which is really fast. Storage is another advantage of using computer. In this way, computers can store datas in a huge amount and it is very flexible to process these datas at anytime we want. Lots of people around the world are very happy with the invention of more and more data storage in computers. Reliable is the other advantage of using computers. According to Discovering Computers 2011, “The electronic components in modern computers are dependable and reliable because they rarely break or fail” (Shelly and Vermaat, 2011). Finally, computer is very crucial in our communication these days. Not only does it help to communicate between people by message or email, but it also can communicate among itself as well. Due to all these reasons, we could see that computers having a lo of positive impacts to our daily life.
Moving onto the negative points, first, computer users usually have a health problems when they use computers excessively. Normally, they got problems with their eyes, hands, wrists, elbows, neck, and back. Moreover, excessive usage on computers sometimes could lead the users to have a poor communication with other people as long as they usually sepnd most of their time in front of the computers and do not have much free time to communicate face to face. Violation of privacy is another issues of using computers. As a matter of fact, I have known some of my friends that their photos have been stolen by others in facebook and later on, they could saw their photos on the internet with very bad editing. Therefore, tt is good to hide your identification from strangers as something bad could happen very easily on the internet nowadays. Additionally, computers have an impact on labor force. Computers have produced a lot of jobs into the industry world; however, there are a lot people are unemployment now since the computers have replaced them. Last but not least, environment problems is partly created by the computers too. For example, the waste that coming from old computers have polluted the land while they can release toxic matrials and potentially dangerous level of lead, mercury, and flame retardants (Shelly and Vermaat, 2011).
In conclusion, people should manage to use the computers wisely in order to protect themselves from potential problems that caused by excessive computer using. If they do not use it wisely, they could meet a lot of problems now or in the near future created by the computers. Personally, I usually protect myself from potential problems which caused by computer usage. Commonly, I do not spend much time with the computers by trying to go offline as much as I can and only use the computers for my study, research and reading some news.
