What effect does the computer have on our life

Does the computer have an effect on our lives? The answer is yes. But the real question we need to ask ourselves is that is that certain effect good or bad? We will get to the decision at the end of the essay.

In the earlier times when we needed to contact someone that was living abroad or 100 miles away they had to write a letter. And that letter used to arrive almost after a month or so. But now days when we are feeling lonely or feeling bored then we just whip out our phone (phone is just a smaller version of a computer) or get on the computer and start contact them in a matter of seconds. it’s that  simple and it takes no effort at all. If we wanted some data printed then we had to use a type writer and there was no back space once you have wrote it you have wrote it you cannot undo it. but now on office software we can do any type of work on a wide variety. The movie stores are now days out of business, because people used to buy the new albums or movies that was coming out. But now we just go to some website and download those same movies and songs for free.

But the computer has also ruined our life as well. Kids used to play outside every day, goofing around all day but the kids now days don’t do any of that. They sit around all day on the computer playing games. Or watching TV. Kids now days have become lazy and don’t want to move. They prefer everything to be done for them. Not just the kids the grown up also want the same things the only difference is that the grown up have to go to work so that makes them a little less lazy. And also the reading of books has also disappeared. If any wants to search something Google becomes their friend. And if anyone wants to read a book then they just download that book and start reading on their computer.

So what do we deduce from all of this? From my opinion, the computers have changed our life that is certainly for sure. But I think it is a fifty situation weather it is for the good or the bad. But the needle bends slightly towards the bad side. The reason is that in the earlier stages we had to discover anything we wanted to know about. The internet or computer has ruined the element of surprise people can find out just about anything. Having said that it has also changed our lives for the good as well it has made our lives easier. At first the world was a large area to explore but now our world is being made smaller and smaller (in terms of exploring). That is up to you to decide whether the change is for the good or the bad.
