Computer is a very great invention; it can bring much convenience to us. It can also let us complete our work punctually and in the shortest time. So, I disagree that the computer is more a menace than a blessing.

There are too many advantages of computer to say, so let me touch on just a few advantages.

Many companies in any country also have a lot of computers in their office, because their staff need to use computers to do their work or to find some information on the Internet. Computers have become so useful that they are now almost indispensable.

Computers not only can be used in business firms but also be used elsewhere. In our society, computer is needed by some professionals such as an architect to design buildings. In school, teachers use computer to teach their students.

Elsewhere, just like at a hospital or clinic, they need computers to stock their patients’ information and case histories. In police station, police also need computers to save many malefactors’ records. In hotel, the staff also need computer to check whether their hotel is fully booked or not. At home, there are many people who use computer to do their work and to find information or make some friends on Internet.

So, computer is very important to us. Of course, computer has its disadvantage. There are some people who use computer to commit crimes. Computer also has radiation that can cause some harm to our body.

Finally, I think people should use the computer correctly, because computer can be harmful if improperly used.
