The question whether the development of computers is a positive or negative trend has been a subject of social debate. While I acknowledge that computers will surpass humans in terms of intelligence in the future, it is my firm conviction that it is not a negative development for some reasons, as will be discussed in this essay.
There are several reasons why some may advocate for the idea that computers will become more intelligent than humans. Chief among these is the increase in computers’ ability to solve complex problems. This phenonmenon is often rooted in the fact that scientists always update computers’ functions by new features that are far more clever than initial functions. In additional, computers are designed to imitate humans’ intelligent and behaviours, thereby they can endlessly scan the sum of human knowledge such as artworks, literature and music and contain this information in the long run. A prime illustration of this can be seen in super computers, which can resolve complex assissments that a master cannot through available information. Therefor, it is understandable why this perspective remains prevalent, although I believe that its abilities are escliped by moral problems.
On the other hand, I maintain that there are several significant reasons why some individuals believe that the development of computers is negative. Primarily, the risks of losing jobs severs as a crucial catalyst for a stable income, as computers can replace human in some specific jobs such as designers and lawers. Unlike traditional jobs such as farmer, which is hard to be replaced by computers, official jobs can be easily eliminated due to heavily depending on computers’ functions. This, in turn, paves the way for a sense of anxiety and fearness for official workes. Furthermore, the development of computers is also criticised as it contributes to evironmental problems. The main reason is that computers release heat, which increases the average planets’ temperature. As a result, it causes global warming and natural disaster. Although some critis agrue that the development of computers is negative due to the risks of lossing carrers, I strongly believe that this line of reasoning is somewhat flawed, as it fails to account for convenience.
In conclusion, although the development of computers may lead to job displacement and environmental problems, I firmly believe that it is a positive trend overall, as their ability to process information and solve complex problems can bring significant benefits to human society.
