Nowadays, the development of computers inspires many arguments. While some people argue that these electronic devices are becoming an obstacle rather than an assistance, others believe computers can inspire human potential. I recognize that computers have both demerits and merits, the only question is how to use them properly.
The opponents of computers believe that people will become addicted and lose their minds if they spend too much time with these electronic devices. First and foremost, the computer is so convenient that people can access the world virtually and become less willing to go outside. However, this phenomenon causes severe physical and mental problems. Moreover, in contemporary society, people rely increasingly on computers in many sectors, which stagnates their development and causes them to lose some abilities because computers can replace them to finish work. For instance, after the appearance of artificial intelligence, many students use it to write essays or solve academic questions. Although this technology can help them finish homework, students’ academic performance will decrease because they cannot solve questions without the support of computers.
On the other hand, the advantages of computers cannot be overlooked. Firstly, the convenience and usefulness of computers are undeniable, which become an powerful assistance in many sectors. Therefore, if people can use computers properly and maintain self-discipline, it can bring abundant benefits. Secondly, the computer is a tool for users to broaden their horizons and foster relationships with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. For example, many people barely have a chance to meet other cultures, while this technology makes it real through the internet.
In conclusion, although some people think that computers will damage people’s health and stagnate their development, the advantages have positive effects on people’s daily life if used appropriately.
