Is this dependence on computers a good thing or should we be more suspicious of their benefits? 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? It is known that nowadays people make use of computers in the majority of their activities, such as their personal lives, at work, to deal with crime, to manage the sick people on hospitals, the prisoners in jail and also the airplanes traffic. This essay will discuss about the pros of the computers’ use increase. Not many years ago the computers were such valuable objects and only a few people could afford them. It was common to see in the companies, for example, a vast use of papers to send reports, people used to write them manually and send them physically over a courier. That process would take a very long time. On the other hand, when we analyze the advance of technology it is clear to observe all the benefits that computers have brought to the society. Taking the same example mentioned before, the processes in the companies were automatized and it is possible to say that they are also a lot more efficient this way. In my opinion, in the future they can be used to develop researches in the health field, helping the scientists to discover possible cures for sicknesses that still cause a lot of death, such as cancer. Finally, I would consider that computers had provided a lot more benefits than disadvantages. Of course if we consider its use for personal life people have to know how to balance it. But generally it is a great thing.
