Computers are prevalent these days. Some people think that they are even more intelligent than humans and help them with a variety of tasks while others claim that their appearance causes troubles as well. My essay will discuss both sides of the issue for the following reasons.
On one hand,
the existence of
smarter computers is
believed to streamline people's
lives greatly. When it
comes to work, by using this little machine, we are
emancipated from laborious
hand-writing, letter-sending, compiling papers to saving files. No sooner do we finish
our assiduous days at work than we can also bask ourselves in the
world of music and games available on computers. Amazingly, certain devices connected with computers function as multi-tasking
robots to do housework and take care of the elderly in emergency cases. To
those who are avid readers,
by surfing the net on computers, they are about to discover the endless source of novels and stories.
In other words, computers
flatten people's lives to an astonishing extent.
Nevertheless, along with their great gains are
pains. Spending hours in front of computer
screen, people are likely to suffer a series
of threatening diseases like
migraine, insomnia, obesity and poor eyesight. Surveys have
shown that the number of people experiencing overweight increases
ceaselessly these years
as a result
of computer syndrome. In addition, it is
argued that as a consequence of depending on computers for various tasks, people grow passive in thinking
and dependent instead of nurturing their critical
ability. For children who are addicts to computers' games, their study and future are
definitely put in danger. Such unremitting flows of uncontrollable and
unfiltered information on the Internet drive people crazy and mislead them.
Also, since the dawn of computers, people rarely spare
time together and bury
themselves in the
virtual world, which
possibly puts their
socializing world at
risk. Furthermore, despite
the belief that computers can
replace teachers in
classrooms, it is
undeniable that were it for the
role of mentors, students would hardly feel inspired to learn and
foster numerous important living
skills from team-work, communication and
self-study. Computers are of certain
use, but hardly become
substitutes for our brains after all.
In conclusion,
computers bring double-edged
benefits. The most important is that we learn to master
computers instead of letting them dominate our lives overwhelmingly.
