Computers are important means of communication and information. On the other hand, they have some negative effects on its users. So, what are the advantages and the disadvantages of computers?
Computers have many advantages. First of all, we can communicate with people from different countries. Besides, computers help us to keep up with the latest events that happen in the world. Thanks to the Internet, everyone can know what happens in Iraq and Syria without watching TV. In addition to that, computers are means of entertainment. We can listen to music or play games in our free time.
On the other hand, computers have some drawbacks. To begin with, the fact that more and more information has become accessible online makes people dependent on the Internet. What is more, some people who spend too much time in front of the computer will sooner or later become addicted. As a result, they neglect their work or studies, which may have a serious impact on their life. Moreover, some websites spread wrong information or beliefs. Consequently, people are led astray by these false ideas.
In summary, computers are double-edged sword. They have benefits and drawbacks. Therefore, in my opinion, people should be aware of the side effects of computers and use them positively and not negatively.
