Dependence On Computer Good Or Bad.We are becoming increasingly dependent on computers. They are used in businesses, hospitals, crime detection and even to fly planes. What things will they be used for in the future? Is this dependence on computers a good thing or should we be more auspicious of their benefits? 

 

       Most of the gadgets that makes our life easier have a computer.Some people says, its a great relieve that their work are much easier with the aid of computers. Other people taught that being too dependent to computers has a consequential negative outcome to mankind. In this essay, I will discuss the arguments for and againgst using computers.

       Firstly, computers are widely being used in different work field. Example of it, in airline industry, one of the most important component is computer. They are the one who calculate the speed, altitude and tell the pilot if there is something wrong with the airplane. More over, computers also help people to communicate to their loved ones. More that that, computers has a great role in improving safety measures, like in a car simulation, scientist can study and review its product if maximum safety procedures attained.

       In contrast, being too dependent from computers has a negative outcomes. Example of it, calculator is a computer. Some people are too dependent using calculator in solving simple equation. This attitude will lead people not using critical thinking in solving an equation instead they use calculator for faster result and convenient way. In addition on that, internet are vastly used nowadays, some students used internet for their projects and searching some articles. Instead going to library, they used the internet to save much time. But the downside of it, some students tend to copy and paste the articles and not using it just for references to make their own assignments.

       Furthermore, it is very dangerous when a computer is hacked. Personal or government files might be exposed. Also public safety will be jeopardize if a warhead/missile is being activated by terrorist group by hacking the military installation.

      To summarize, computers might have threat to mankind as mentioned above, but with proper use of computer and tighten the installation security and computer system, in this way we lessen the threat. Whats more, without the aid of computer life will be much harder compared to the life were experiencing right now.

 

Thank you for reading my essay. Feel free to correct my mistake.

Hi all, I am a newbie of writefix, I found this website days ago, and found it is good. English writing and speaking is my weakness, so I hope I can improve my english via writefix. I will appreciate if someone here can help. Thank you!

 

Nowadays, computer has become our daily electronic machine, which is vital to our work and life. Responding to the topic, dependence on computer, I think we can't tell exactly it is good or bad, as advantages and disadvantages are both involved. 

First of all, we must admit that computer helps us to save time. In the past decades, sending letter is a common way for people to contact others; it took a day or few days to receive the letters. In the modern world, people can use e-mail instead of letters, and it only takes a few minutes. Computers are especially welcomed by companies. To image that, if a company in an environment without computers, it uses telephone to communicate with clients, sends and receives documents via letters, how much time will it take? How inefficient it is for a company! But with computers, companies can scan the documents to computers, and then send to the clients via e-mail, this only takes a few minutes! Besides, computers can help people to search information in an easier and effective way, and do other things. Depending on computer helps us save our time and convenience, however, danger also be included: hackers may hack into others’ computers, stealing information and data, or damaging computer systems; these problems bring losses to people, and need to take time to fix the problems.

Furthermore, modern education also has dependence on computers, students doing their homework, school projects, vision, searching information, or even having their online course instead of going to school. This can bring convenience to students and parents, such as, students may not need to get up in bright early morning, parents can don’t need to pick up their children from school, etc. Nevertheless, students can get all information from the internet, they study at home themselves, then they don't need to discuss with their classmates, this may not good for students’ communication skills.

Dependence on computer is good, when we can enjoy the advantage it brings to us, in contrast, it is bad when we are suffered from the disadvantage brought by the dependence on computer. Every thing has two sides, there are disadvantages while advantages exist, what most important is, we need to know how to get the balance.
