Nasiru Loaded Blog want us to discuss about this important topic:
Before
we know it, technology is going to pass us by. With the invention of
the computer and the Internet, the possibilities are endless. Society is
changing by leaps and bounds, with no chance of a stopping point in the
near future. All this change is dealing with computers and the effects
that it will have on the way we live tomorrow. The Internet affects us
in every way, most importantly with our social lives, our jobs, and our
entertainment. Our social lives are not just communicating with
telephones and mail anymore. Going “on-line” is the new way we like to
communicate with people. Chat rooms on the Internet are open for people
to talk and explore with other people who may live on the other side of
the world or the other side of the street. E-Mail is also another
popular way to correspond with others. Users can electronically send
mail to another person with an on-line mailbox, simply by typing in
their message and sending it by the click of a button. Two seconds to
send e-mail to someone on the other side of the world is much quicker
than a week or more through the ordinary mail. The Internet can also
affect our jobs. Computers can calculate and figure out things much
quicker than the average person. This process cannot only save time, but
money too. Stock trading is now on the Internet, along with banking and
any other type of business you could imagine. The world wants thing to
be quick and easy. The best answer to that is to have a computer do it
for you. In the future, hundreds of millions of jobs will be taken away
from honest hard-working employees and will be given to computers. No
matter what choices we make, or what plans we change, these outcomes are
going to become real. Why would a business pay someone to take phone
orders, when a computer can do it in less time and make it both cheaper
and easier for the business and the buyer? Computers and the Internet
are definitely affecting the way we entertain ourselves. The most basic
example is card games. If the computer can deal out cards on a screen
with the click of a button, why would anyone want to deal out a deck of
cards manually and have to clean them up afterwards? On the Internet,
you can gamble with on-line casinos, place bets on a horse race, or even
watch movies. People can do all of these activities in the comfort of
their own home. No gas money is wasted or time spent driving around to
find entertainment so people are happy. The inevitable outcome of this
magnificent invention is going to change the world. Society is happy
about the way things are changing. Cheaper is better, less time
consuming is better. With the choice of having a computer and being
on-line, there is almost nothing you cannot do. This remarkable idea of
the Internet is going to revolutionize the way we live in the future.
Negative impacts of computers on society
Most
of us know the pros of having a computer (links us to other parts of
the world and provides us with information we use to have to search for
at the library, etc.) These are some of the negative things about the
computerized world:
The
younger generation would rather communicate through computer
(easier) than actually working towards making friends or finding
love the good old fashion way. Thus, part of the magic of falling
in love is lost. People breakup in emails rather than facing the
person and as all generations have been taught before we must take
responsibility for our own actions.
A
high percentage of people sit at their computer far too long and
some people lose reality as far as social activities and learning
social skills. Not to mention packing on the weight and the lack of
exercise that will haunt them further on down the road.
Sitting behind a computer all day is hard on the eyes.
Being
on the computer too much takes away the imagination for most
(although for a very few they can be creative in advertising and
digital imagery, etc. on websites.)
Computers
can distract a person so much they lose contact with the reality
around them such as taking time with family, husbands, boyfriends,
girlfriends, wives and children.
It opens up kiddy porn and other immoral things.
More crime is committed through the Internet.
More misinformation by SOME people on the Internet can cause problems for the younger generation.
More
person problems by two people on the Internet (never having met)
may cause heartbreak or mistrust. It's impossible to know someone
well over the Internet.
Hackers can ruin your computer system.
Many
people do work on the computer from their home but smart people do so
much, then get up, get moving and get into shape. They spend time with
family and friends and limit their time on the computer.
There
is a new generation coming up where information is at one's finger tips
too easily and then it becomes a personal thing in some people's lives.
Before one knows it all will be like zombies wandering around (out of
shape) and wondering why no one is relating to them.
While
technology is a wonderful thing it is almost likely that it can be used
in an immoral or wrong way. There is a price to pay for everything even
if it appears it's making life easier on people.
REMEMBER COMPUTER IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ALL OVER THE UNIVERSE
