Our life would be boring without computers. it’s hard to believe that one device can provide people with entertainment, news, education, music. with the appearance of computer many things have lost their importance. people don’t watch tv anymore, don’t go to the cinema very often. they don’t listen to the radio, cd- or mp3-player. they’ve stopped buying newspapers and magazines. many have taken online classes. thus, computers and internet have become an integral part of every family. computer is a powerful tool. it helps to create colourful presentations, to calculate large numbers, to write articles, to save and edit photos, to keep documentation and, of course, to surf the web. internet is the main stream of information nowadays. it informs us, entertains and educates. we find everyday news online, educational resources, films, music, games. everyone can find something to his or her own taste there. however, computers have certain disadvantages. first of all, there is too much violence online, as well as aggressive pictures and irrelevant information. all this can lead to different problems. secondly, internet is a free space, where personal information can easily be stolen. so, people should be aware of what they are posting or downloading. thirdly, computers have turned people into passive creatures. they can spend hours in front of the monitors, which results into poor eyesight and other health issues. in conclusion, i’d like to add that computers are good at certain extent. if they are being used wisely and moderately, then they can make our life better.
