The effect of the Computer in Society

Computer it is an electronic device used to process data and information, it makes our life easier and faster. However, did you know there are also effects of the computer in our society?
There are two ways of affection of computers to our society:

First, the positive effect, computers make our life easier and faster. For example, if you want to make your projects easier, you will just type it on the computer and with just a wink of an eye, you can print it in the printer. In government and private agencies, they use computers to calculate the population of the country. During elections, they use computers to calculate the number of votes. In malls, they use computers to calculate sales and deliver sales to some parts of the world. Computers are very useful to our life and to our business manners. It helps our jobs to become easier.

And;

The negative effect…

If computers have positive effect, of course, computers have negative effect also. Computers endure too much electricity, which is hazardous to our environment and causes global warming. There are also effects to our communication. Today’s generation e-mails are proposed to have faster communication. However, did you know that it could also affect our speech? Our grammars and spellings, we shorten our words to make our messages short. Nevertheless, if we follow the generation of writing letters, we cannot misspell our grammars and spellings.


Computers are helpful to our lives, but remember also the positive and the negative effect of it to our society. We should use it at the right time and at the right place.
