Computers

To start with, from the late 20th century to nowadays computers have been developing incredibly fast, up to a point in which we have became almost totally dependent on computers. It is important to mention the fact that not just computers have been in a continuous development, but also everything that relates to technology itself has been advancing, in terms of complexity, for example cars, mobile phones, etc. and I believe that in a near future everything will need computers in order to work correctly.

On the one hand, dependence on computers has its benefits, such as faster and more accurate communication, the ability to work with digital media and files, which makes it easier to pass files from one computer to another in just seconds. Computers are used everywhere at any time. In hospitals, offices, schools, restaurants, supermarkets, etc., you can see new models, new features and new uses every day.

On the other hand, the consequences of being dependent on computers may result harmful in many ways for humanity. For example, the use of computers takes a lot of time out from people lives and that is why many people complains about computers, by saying that kids, for example, instead of going outside and play football, stay at home playing computer games or chatting.

All in all, it can be said that computers are beneficial to humans up to a certain point, as it have its positive and negative consequences.
