Computer and the Society

Around the world are forced the "computer age" nowadays. Since the first computer was made in the late 1950s, which I heard that was come from the Chinese Abacus, the technology has developed extremely. Computers are everywhere and control a great deal of our living environment. More and more areas are being taken over by the computer. Not able to use a computer is a serious handicap with ramifications in all areas of life. Therefore, if people do not know computers or do not know how to use them it means that they are not prepared for the future. They will fall behind our advancing society. Computers have been applied to industry, agriculture, political affairs, economy,military, science and many other fields; it is becoming more and more important.

There are Advantages and also Disadvantages effects by Computer and Technologies on Our Society.

ADVANTAGES:

Modern technology has solved many problems that people face and play an important role in the development of many countries. Modern technologies create many kinds of products - computers, cloning technology, and video games etc...

Technology today has made life better and quicker in our modern society,people can't see themselves without computers, cell phones, voice mail...etc...As we look at technologies, questions are raised. The Technological progress makes our society more convenient and safe. Making impossible things possible are similar features of the change which previous people have experienced by social change, like shifting from a hunting society to an agricultural society and establishing commercial society due to the invention of new tools. To consider these advantages and change of society, modern technology, which we use today, might be not only a new tool but also the tool, which makes dramatic change in history. However, the contribution of modern technology to society should not be eliminated and should be distributed evenly.

DISADVANTAGES:

There' re many people that can't see themselves without the new tools of the 21st C. That's because the technology recreates the essence of humanity and it encourages us to think of all things in the world as standing by, ready for our consumption. So this definitely affects our perception of the natural world. Nowadays we create technology, but technology also creates us.
