Almost every home, office, or school has a computer of some kind these days.

It may seems at first that


having a computer brings only benefits, but further consideration shows that it also has disadvantages.

First of all computers are very useful at school. It helps students to revise for tests or exams and makes
subjects more interesting. Pupils can also learn new vocabulary and gramatic structures.
Furthermore it allown students to become familiar with operating a computer and gain basic computer
skills.
What is more people can save a lot of time by using a computers. This is especially beneficial in the
workplace where employees can do their work faster than they could in the past.

In addition to this storing information on a computer disks is one of the most officient ways of keeping
data. One computer disk can hold the same amount of information as several books. Moreover people
can communicate with other computer owners through the internet, which offers nowdays everything
from making freecalls from foreign countries to doing shoping.

On the other hand many jobs have been lost due to the fact that computer can do a lot of tasks more
officiently than humans. This has led to high unemployment in many countries. What is more kids if left
unsuprised would spend all of their time playing games on the computer rather than using it for
educational purpose.

Furthermore some people when working from home with computer are far more likely to feel cut off from
rest of the world. If children are sitting in front of the screen all day, they do not learn to share, wait they
turn, or even something as simples as manners.

Moreover children might be using the internet to acces pornographic material. Children are also easy
target for sexual affenders who chat online with them and then make plans to meet them or slowly filter
information about them.

Also freuqent and prolonged computer session may pose physical health. Risks especially for children.
The most frequently cited are visual strain, harmful effects of radiation and posture and skeletal
problems. 
Advantages
Sharing devices such as printers saves money. Files can easily be shared between users. Network
users can communicate by email. Security is good - users cannot see other users' files unlike on
stand-alone machines. A file server is easy to back up as all the data is stored in one place. A
computer allows a person to manipulate data easily and quickly, create text documents, edit them,
print them, manipulate images, print them, send text and images over the Internet, download
information over the Internet, interact with other people easily from home, keep records of
transactions, activities, plan trips, and generally do far more than a person without a computer.
Computers are very useful to make everyday life a lot easier. You can check the weather, email,
search items, buy things type papers and much much more. You can also play games and post blogs
and other stuff. People use computers in many ways. Can be used in business, inventions and
scanners.Computers help children to be in control of their experience, to set their own pace, and to
select the level of challenge with which they feel comfortable. Computers help children to use all of
their senses to extract information. Computers fascinate kids and can draw their full attention, which
often results in a deeper focus and concentration. Computers enable children to learn through
creating, just as they gain hands-on knowledge and understanding when they build forts, make up
stories, and paint, increase their skills. Good educational software enables children to develop and
practice a broad range skill. It can help them learn, for example, about letters, numbers, shapes,
colours, and rhythm. Good software can also help children develop their understanding of cause and
effect, higher order problem solving, procedural thinking, and creative expression. Today, the wide
range of multimedia available for kids in India is really amazing. Computers are helpful because they
offer a wide range of functions and services that are not available anywhere else. There are four main
uses: word processing, internet/communications, digital video/audio composition, and desktop
publishing.

Disadvantages
The teenagers of today's society have changed dramatically due to the Computer. Nowadays, the
majority of teenagers have a PC and it has played a key role in their lives. Teenagers need to be
equipped with knowledge of computer technology, as most things in life require the use of computers.
One disadvantage of owning a computer is the information that students can access from the Internet.
The Internet has also made the youth of today quite lazy, especially in terms of their education. If a
student needs to research information for school, they merely access a relevant site and download the
information, rarely paying attention to what is written. Purchasing the network cabling and file servers
can be expensive. If the file server breaks down the files on the file server become inaccessible.
Viruses can spread to other computers throughout a computer network. There is a danger of hacking,
particularly with wide area networks.
Computers are very engaging on children as well as adults. Kids with access to software that is not
age appropriate may be exposed to such negative influences as violence, strong language, and over-
stimulation from fast-action graphics.
