"How have computers changed our lives?"

I'm doing a basic project for school and I would love anyone's insight. I've come to appreciate this community's hard work and dedication towards all the projects that have been created here. So many bug fixes... so many changes...

Have computers changed everyone's lives? How about the people who can't access computers, or rather the people who choose to avoid them? Would we be where we are now without them?

Odds are a good percent of the things around at this very moment of reading this were made in a factory ran by computers. The programmers from around the world had to create the functions and utilities to run these machines. Conveyor belts don't run on someone hand cranking a lever in the back of the shop anymore. We've got computers!

Science has been pushed into everyone's heads since elementary years because of these advancements in today's society. Thanks to this, we can continue to look further down the road of technology, and hopefully, create something even better than what we've got now in the near future.

How have they changed your life?

Thank You:

It made me learn english that is always something good. My english compared to the english level of people that only learn english at schools is indeed much more advanced.
It brought me to programming world. Wich even recently caused effects at my work. I am accountant and accounting program wasn't running. My boss called a technic but he wasn't able to fix it. I opened config file of the program, wich is very similar to the files we use and i was able to fix the program.
It had many positive things, internet friendships, stories, talks, everything.
Yet, it also brought bad things to many people, bullying over the internet, obesity, etc.
I was affected by obesity, not only because of computer, but mostly because of it. At moment i lost 32KG and i am fine, but it was something bad.
Computer is good, for fun, for knowledge, for everything. But it must be moderated. Computer is a tool, must not be someone's life.

postitive sides:
computer:
programming introduced "the algorithmic reasoning" in my mind (to translate everything logically).
computer is more than a friend. it hides your secrets, saves your time/money, teaches you what you would never have known.
a perfect pastime.
internet:
meeting persons from foreign countries, making some real friends (no one is a prophet in his own land).
extending oneself knowledge.
having fun (playing multiplayer games).

negative sides:

computer:
my eyes are totally destroyed.
I don't drink or smoke but my drug is my computer (especially the Internet).
internet:
hard to protect children from sexually oriented web sites, even from free to play games and innocent-like advertisements.
hard to protect one's computer from viruses, trojan horses, and other malwares.
our privacy is violated.
multiplayer games are totally infected (deception).
knowing the truth.

  • can we imagine our lives before: cellhpones, internet, computers, television.. ? is this called "the stone age" ??
  • are we advanced or people ignoring such technologies delayed ?
  • is natural life more safe ?

Although technology is a good thing to have, there is a few drawbacks. Every computer is a little bit different and you can not expect everyone in the workplace to become an expert on the computers. We all have our battles with technology. I have done hours of work before on my computer and I accidentally hit the wrong button, which made my whole computer freeze up and I lost all my work. Its frustrating and I wanted to smash my computer.

Next, we need to make sure that we stick with our values and make sure that technology doesn't get out of hand.

I think that we can always keep adding technology to our everyday lives as long as we don't let it take over our lives. I think that if we let technology overtake our lives, eventually we will be overtaken by laziness. A lot of people are willing to spend a large amount of money in order to make their jobs easier and effortless, despite the fact it may not have the same quality as if you did it yourself.

Bad Side 65%------------35% Good Side
Having a computer is a good thing, it helps a lot in different situations. In the other hand it "kills" a lot, especially childrens that are obsessed after a game or a anime show. In my opinion childrens shouldn't use a computer (any kind) until they turn 14 or 15, the reason is clear, they distribute personal information (related with everything they find unharmful). What I meant with "kills", it's killing their childhood, their life. Instead of going out and playing football they close the door of their room and start playing a game.
There is a question I haven't give an answer yet, "Why a kid likes a killing FPS game instead of Tedy Bear?

That's what I was trying to say
Most of us have done that, but nowadays they start watching porn since they are 10(WTF), mostly caused because their parents can't block these sites.

@Jhob94 Use something to block those sites, maybe you will find a extension at google store.
I've read everywhere that porn has negative effects in their minds!
