Computer is a ubiquitous feature of this modern world. Its importance has never been denied and its usefulness is well appreciated. Whether it is at office or school, we depend on it to get our job done efficiently. Our increasing dependence on it may be a menace. However, in my opinion, computer is more of a blessing than a menace.
The computer is useful because it offers fast and efficient communication between people through Internet. Whenever our friends or relatives are in different countries, we can chat with them through Internet. It is easy to use. So, we can say that computer connects people from all around the world. Exchanging information quickly and accurately is no more a problem
On the other hand, computer gives us promise that a work of good quality can be produced. It is neat and the most importantly, the speed of producing the work is high and unbeatable. The computer makes our lives easier by producing high-quality work. Even a layman can produce works of professional standard.
In addition, computer is a real blessing when it comes to storage and retrieval of information. We do not need to keep information in several files in a room where they are hard to manage. A small space in the computer can store tons of information which is easily available at any time.
However, it is very inconvenient when the computer breaks down. Much information will be lost and e-business will be adversely affected. Technical problems will lead to great loss.
We can also easily get addicted to the computer especially the online games. Parents and teachers have always complained about this. Students will do badly in school if they do not control themselves well enough.
In conclusion, anything being misused will be a menace more than a blessing. So we should be able to discipline ourselves in order not to abuse tools, facilities and equipment.
