Computers, televisions,
internet, these are the must have assets in our contemporary world. It seems
that world without media sources would come to halt instantaneously. However,
if this is the case I imagine how our ancestors would have survived all those
years without these information sources?
There was a time when it was impossible to
get connected to each other and share information digitally, particularly at
long distances. Well, those were the days gone by. Now, electronic gadgets and
internet has made communication and data sharing a cake walk. Apart from being beneficial
its absence can also make life miserable as today’s fast paced life is not
possible without them. Seeing this it is said that how the people of old era
survived. I would say each time span holds its glory and limitations.
Generally speaking, computers are helping
our communities in numerous ways. People have become more aware of technology,
resulting in increased cognizance. Computers are assisting us in factories
where operations are completely autonomous. In offices, computers help us to
manage our data and information. Thus, computers have actually changed our
world.
Having said that, in accord to some
researches done in America, there have been reports that using computers are
harmful to our wellbeing. According to annals published back in 2006, working
on computers for long hours continuously, can lead to stress and depression. In
addition to that, people tend to gain weight as they work on computers all day
long. Furthermore, working on computers for more than four hours can lead to
decrease in eyesight. But this is not all, by invent of internet; minors have
easy excess to explicit materials online. In addition to that, Email frauds are
all time high.
In my option, every technology has some
benefits and some drawbacks, just like the medical pills have side effects. The
power is ours because choice is ours, it depends upon us which side to choose
from, constructive side of technology or the destructive side.
