computer a hindrance? Nowadays some people say that computers are a hindrance and other people believe that they are indispensable. Fortunately there are advantages and disadvantages in both cases. Computers are machine project to resolve some problems or to decrease the distance of communication but they can be a hindrance for our and for everyone around our. A machine can have some problem more or less big but if it have a big problem we do not anything because our useful is in other way and this is an enormous problem, so we depend by technological instrument. A clear example is when we miss mobilephone ( we can consider like a little computer ) at home and we do total of something, it is a big problem because it is not our useful force the mind to calculate or other. By contrast there are some advantages, when we want see a person that is from other part in the world thanks to computer we can chat or talk with her unless problem. I concur that computer and technology in particular is very important but sometime we are servant of it, we try to live just 3 hours a day unless technology and in this way we love life that is around our and not only behind a screen. There are people that look only mobilephone or television or computer and they do not know what colour of eyes of their girlfriend or they do not know how play football on street.

Computer a hindrance?

Nowadays some people say that computers are a hindrance, and other people believe that they are indispensable. Fortunately there are advantages and disadvantages in both cases.

Computers are machines designed to resolve some problems or to improve communication, but they can be a hindrance for us and for everyone around us. A machine can have some problem, big or small, but if it has a big problem we cannot do anything because, our usefulness is of another kind. This is an enormous problem,  that we so depend on technology. A clear example is when we miss mobile phones ( we can consider these as little computers) at home and we can do nothing, It is a big problem, because we cannot replace the computer's functions with our brains. By contrast there are some advantages, when we want see a person who is from another part of the world and, thanks to computers ,we can chat or talk with her without problems. [This section was very unclear to me, and I have had to guess and rewrite a little to make some kind of sense of it. If I've totally missed your meaning I can only apologise :(  ]

I concur ("agree" would be less formal) that computers and technology in particular are very important but sometimes we are slaves to them. We try to live for just 3 hours a day without using this technology, and in this way we can enjoy, make the most of and love the life that is around us, and not live only through a screen. There are people that look only at their mobile phone, television or computer, and they do not know the colour of their girlfriend's eyes, and they do not know how play football in the street.
