Advantages and disadvantages of using computers
The advent of computers was a turning point in the world. Most transactions today
require the use of a computer. There are always innovations in science and technology that have
led to high-quality computers and a comfortable lifestyle. Computers are a modern phenomenon,
as most people now use electronic and electronic devices and create a database on computers.
Despite the benefits, there are many problems with using it. This article discusses the pros and
cons of computers.
Advantages of computers
One can use computers to manage time, especially in the field of education and business.
A computer can perform complex calculations quickly, which can take a long time, and manually
calculates. For example, in a store, and a girl soon calculates the number of goods on computers.
Universities cannot give student records easy access to a computer. Instead of writing papers at
school, administrators can use a few buttons and all the student details. Since then, it has been a
significant source of computers, including time management and positive emotions.
The second benefit of using computers is to ensure effective communication. With a
single click, you can find out what's happening around the world. Most social networks, such as
cell phones, are designed to engage people from different parts of the world through effective
communication and people to share ideas wherever they are. The Internet is an excellent
computer. Unlike the last time, when you meet young people physically, today people can
communicate online through conferences and by e-mail. Computers are designed to facilitate
effective communication today.

Last but not least, computers are a source of activity. With the advent of computers,
software development, skills, computer-integration and repair, and system integration are done.
86% of jobs in the 21st century require PC knowledge, so it becomes a mandatory discipline in
many schools (Levy, 2018). Computers have created jobs and improved the quality of life for
many people.
Disadvantages of using computers
There are also disadvantages associated with using computers. The worst thing for
computers is when they are young, and children are prone to certain Internet content. The
Internet is the home of some of the most influential features, some of which are anti-social
behavior. Using computers, young people find adult content in movies, about drugs, criminal
activities, and finally following this form. Despite many attempts, the ban on certain types of
Internet content, and most of them, has not yet arrived, thanks to the use of the world's leading
computer experts (Kozyreva et al., 2020). How we can use the Internet, we must make sure that
we identify important content.
Another disadvantage of computers is the increase in crime rates in the field of
information technology. With advanced knowledge of integrating payments online, some
criminals develop fraudulent schemes to defraud people of money. Some hackers have used their
computer skills to gain access to the company and to create a website. Some do not even require
unsuspecting Internet users to disclose their credit card details and, ultimately, bring their money
back. Many people are victims of such crimes in the field of information technology.

If we want to benefit from computers, we must know about the dangers of using them.
Parents should advise young people to access online resources and prevent them from engaging
in immoral behavior such as using a computer.
