WRITING PRACTICE As part of a class assignment you have to write about the following topic: We are becoming increasingly dependent on computers. They are used in business, hospitals, crime detection and even to fly planes. What things will they be used in the future? Is this dependence on computers a good thing or should we be more suspicious of their benefits? A few years ago computers were created to make easier the daily life of human beings, in fact the first computers were designed to do complex numerical calculations that would take hours, days and even week for a group of people, so that´s why this amazing machines were evolving until today and they still are doing it. Nowadays computers are in every aspect of our lives, the evolution of them is happening so fast that in the future they will probably displace humans from tasks so important and risky like operate planes, ships, trains, cars with almost cero intervention to eliminate accidents and deaths in every way where transportation is used. The field of medicine is a significant point where computers are aimed, reducing the mortality rate of certain procedures and the treatment of diseases extremely dangerous that today doesn´t have cure or their treatments are painful and long. Another thing where computers could be used is the improvement and increase of human capabilities, making us stronger, faster, more resistance to different environments modifying our DNA structure, maybe we could travel long distances through space and live in other planets, all this is a world of possibilities where the imagination is the limit. All the fields where computers are used and are going to be used are certainly an improvement for human kind, nevertheless all that could be a problem if we don´t create an insurance for us, because the most recent fear of scientists is that computers will develop sort of artificial intelligence and displace us from mundane tasks of our daily lives.
