Gone are the days when I used to write by hand or letter placed in a file and stored in cabinets. Now everything is done with the click of a mouse. Computers are used for all kinds of work, that writing letters, keep accounts, creating presentations, or even stay in touch with your near and dear ones.

Today man is so dependent on computer and internet that he would feel he lost without a computer even an hour. Is so much dependence really good or is it not? Do we call computer boon or bane? Initial when computers were invented, they were looked upon as something that would reduce dependence on men and make it easy and fast for everyone. But in order to reduce dependence on men, we have shifted from dependence on computers.

Of course, it is much easier to handle all of the computers, because so many things can program it in such a way that many calculations and reports can be had just a few minutes. But what about the fact that children these days have access to unnecessary information via the Internet. Video games are such a craze with children some may even choose to give out their games dumpster to play on the computer. Now we call this an advantage?

On the other hand, something you can get information about anything in the world, any news from any corner of the globe. What’s more, through social networking sites, you can get in touch with people you know decades but had lost contact with them. There is so much information available online and there are so many ways that the computer can be used to make different kinds of activities for students. There is no dearth to learn as far as the computer is concerned. But how many of us try to learn new things on the computer every day?

Therefore, it is not wrong to say that the computer technology is not a bad thing. In fact, it can help people in all walks of life. But it is up to us who use it, to make the best use. If we are going to figure out the knowledge of it, we will get the same, but if we choose to obtain negative out of it, that is what we will get. Therefore, we should try to make the most of this technology and spread more and more awareness about it to encourage the use of this great technology for information and general communications. After all, it is because computers and the Internet, which today we can book tickets in and pay our bills from the comfort of our home rather than stand in long queues and waste. But if the same ticket get down out on your own, then it can be a programming fault and not the fault of technology. Why blame technology for this, and why should not we start reaping the benefits of this technology?
