Are we dependent on computers?
I had an easy task to pick a topic on this essay since we live in the 21st century, where pretty much everything is based on computers. I mean we just have to look around while we walk on campus to one class from another. People are carrying and using their phones, tablets, laptops, and all these amazing accessories. It doesn't really matter if it is for entertainment purposes or business use. People use them. We all bond and belong to these computer based things in some way. If computers wouldn't be around us and around companies, then we and companies wouldn't be that successful in many ways.
Mainly computers run most of the modern world of the 21st century. It is actually really hard to find any electronics, that doesn't have any kind of computer chip in it. It has the benefits of making our life easier and simple, but, should computers run our life?
Computers are essential part of our life for both entertainment and business purposes. The internet or World Wide Web is also a huge advantage of the computers. The internet provides quick access towards any questions that we have in mind or either if we just would like to talk to a beloved family member, watch a video, or to follow the news.
Computer has the freedom, people would and want to take advantage on it. Using the computers to do various tasks can be really good thing and helping us people on many ways. I think about the computers as it frees up the human mind, to be more creative and effective in different ways. We don't have to spend all our free time organizing and looking and trying to find for information. Computers gave us the possibility of connecting people from around the world. Also, good things that are accelerated by computers are such as; engine light in your car, the settings on your phone, calculators, televisions, chips in the lost beloved dogs and cats or pets and many more. These things are amazing not to mention the police records that are stored on computers as well. I would say these things are clearly supportive for our needs.
The cons of the computer based people.Depends on how much time we spend in front of the computer. As I said it is a very useful tool probably the most useful thing that has been created in world history, but, people can become obsessed with all these super featured computers and they can suffer in health wise. They become lazy and they let the computers do everything instead. So it is a very powerful tool, but, it can be the most dangerous, addictive thing too.
Addiction starts with the possibilities of the computer can offer us. Computer can run videogames, play music, and many more for entertainment purposes. Computerization of our society can make us virtual for each other, where we just sit in front of our safe little bubbles deal, talk with each other instead of face to face and having the actual conversation. This can cause huge socialization problems. Computer can create a comfort zone to us, because we just sit behind it and enjoying the moment. The other reason why it can be a really dangerous a tool, computers allowed us to put our identity on computers. We do everything on computers: money transactions, credit checks, looking for job opportunities.Computers also replace a lot of jobs that could be given to any human beings on this planet, at some point it is more likely that computers will take over the world, and leave nothing for us people to do really soon. Mathematics are the best example, computers can solve problems instead of us. Sitting around and getting lazier while we let computers to do things instead of ourselves, we become lazy which can affect our health. We get lazy because, we are comfortable with the possibilities of entertainments that a computer can offer to us. Laziness can lead us to health problems.
Laziness usually leads to gain weight. Gaining weight can cause low self-esteem problems in social life. If we have low self-esteem, we feel unhappy around people. That is when people get addicted to their computers. Instead of facing the problems, they sit down to their computers. People that are addicted to computers tries do everything on computer such as; gambling, social life, movies, music, games even their food that is where they order the food for themselves. They don't care about exercising anymore they feel safe in their little bubble, because no one can see them. This leads to being overweight. Overweight people are usually depressed. People who are depressed don't want to do anything else other than stay in their comfort zone. Computers are creating comfort zones for people where no one can judge and see them by the way they look or feel.
In nutshells I would say yes we really depend on computers as of today. As I mentioned, since I came to the United States I haven't seen one person without their cellphones, which is a personal computer. If we are not aware of our actions we will end up being controlled by computers and robots in around 20 years. Computers are making our life easier with its simplicity and effectiveness. We can have anything on a computer in one place at one time. Such as; pictures, videos, articles and our personal information as well. It only takes no more than 2 minutes to bring up all our personal things. The effectiveness of computers brought the people to a computer dependent world. As I mentioned it has the advantages, but, we have to be aware of our actions in order to stay healthy, and only make the most important things on computers. Otherwise we will end up being lazy. Life has more beautiful things to offer than a computer.
