Others believe that they are such indispensable tools that they would not be able to live or work without them. Discuss both opinions and give your opinion. ANSWER The first group considers that computers are more of hindrance than a help in today’s society. They could be formed by the elderly people, who hasn’t gotten used to the computers yet, probably they still prefer the old style. On the other hand, the second group believes that computers are such indispensable tools that they would not be able to live or work without them. And I would believe this group is composed by younger people, who belong to the computer era. I agree with second group. In my opinion the computers allowed that all the processes at work became more efficient, permitting people to spend less time, to do their jobs and, consequently, also to do more tasks. It allowed the companies to organize better all their information, to provide better reports and also to decrease the amount of paper they used to deal with. We could not leave aside the advance of the Internet afterwards, which brought even more power to the computer and enabled the information to be available to everyone. So definitely the computer and all the technology related to it have contributed a lot to improve people’s lives.
