In today’s society almost every part of our day revolves around computers. I believe computers have made our world safer and easier to live in. There are many advantages of computers and ways it has benefited us to make our world a better place. But not all things are good with computers, there are many disadvantages that come with it also.
Computers have impacted our education system completely. It has expanded the way we are able to access information using the internet. We are able to access online books, images, audio, and videos. With the vast amount of information available through the internet it allows people to take full advantage and consume themselves with knowledge. Also, people who are unable to physically attend classes on a college campus can utilize online courses to help get the education they need like myself. Computers have also allowed people from around the world to educate themselves with different cultures and religions.
Computers and technology have improved our ways of communications. The way our technology is advancing has led us to the many new ways of electronic communication, social networking, voicemails, emails, and even video conferences. This has helped us reduce time on getting information where it needs to go. Also beneficial for our personal relationships, education purposes, and businesses. Communication is a big part. Allowing people to stay in touch especially for those who have members of their family deploy overseas. Communication is key to keeping relationships alive. There are also disadvantages to communication. People can lose sight of the people who are physically around them. They can also Loose themselves in social networking giving them fewer social skills when communicating with the people who are around them also.
Computers has also given the healthy industry huge improvements. Hospitals have taken advantage of modern technology to improve their security systems, health rooms, and surgical rooms. Giving doctors accurate information regarding health of patients and allowing them to give proper treatment. Other than in just hospitals there are many apps for phones and desktops that allows people to monitor their own heart rate, weight, sugar levels, and other vitals.
