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.
