Yes, of course.

Depending on Computers (including all computing devices) is the only way to be surview in the current trend. Computers are not making us as lazy, we want things to be done faster, so we invent a device to do that job faster. We feel good while the tasks are completed with the computers (with minimum amount of our manual work).

Your are reading this line because of this computer or any smart device, we are sharing ideas, we learn faster.

Practically computers can't be used for everything. We invent it, we test it, we believe it. Finally we are being depending on what we made to do our task.

Therefore, it is good to be depend on computers.

Note: If you want to be lazy, even though there is no computer, you will be lazy.

Today our world has become everything computerized. Without computer a man cannot survive because.

1. In olden days communication takes place through letters but today wireless mobiles or electronic mail have come to communicate.

2. We can book our bus, railway, flight tickets from anywhere but network is required.

3. Computation can be done very quickly and accurately.

4. File transfer can also take place like that so many facilities are provided.

DISADVANTAGES:

1. So many people becoming very lazy.

2. Unemployment gets increased since man is replaced by machine.

3. Health of people will be damaged.

Good morning. I think dependence on computer is good only to some extent. We can use the computer for distant education, online booking, searching for which we want to know. There are even many others things that add up for disadvantages. Nowadays youths are busy on many social networking sites neglecting their studies and even wasting money on online shopping. If we had to buy things we must use some means of transportation, take so much of time and energy, by this we buy only the things which we need. But by online shopping, we use less time and energy and unknowingly we get addicted to that. We don't even know that we are even buying some useless things. We are even becoming lazy to go out buy things and book tickets. So I want to tell that people must be given awareness about dependence on the computer.

According to me, today computer is a essential part of life. Without computer we cann't think about present and future. In every work which is related to education or the some other field, computer is must. If you want to updated yourself time to time, it's important. But firstly it depends on person that how they use it. If you want to take advantage of it, you can achieve your also goal also but if you are using in wrong way, it can be harmful.

Hi.

Humans are highly dependent on technology. One of the foundations of technology is computers. By invention of technology, our work pressure is reduced and time is saved. However, world without computers would be stone-age. Computers reduce our work.

Computers can serve us in many purposes communication, entertainment, etc.

At the same time, computers is a reason for human laziness. Many kids are addicted to computers and spend their maximum time on computers. Which is not good for health. Children have lost their outdoor activities and have increased the risk for certain diseases.

I hereby conclude that computer and technology must be used on when necessary.

Hi,

I am Shailesh, In my opinion, use of technology is a good thing. Computer is a great invention, we make our work easy through the help of computer. There are lot of advantages like chatting, banking, search any information, fight train reservation, online shopping etc.

But every coin has side. In other hand there are disadvantage also, like unemployment increase with increase technology. Human become lazy.

We should use anything in limit.

Hi everyone,

In my point of view, using computers have both positives & negatives.

In the positive side, by using computers we need not go far to do our works. By sitting in the home we can do all our works by online. For eg, banking, food ordering, shopping, bookings, etc. Computers are not only for the purpose of doing works they are also using for studies through learning websites. Computers are also using for online exams which is very helpful for the students who can't go far for every time and it makes the work easy by correcting the answers through online and results are announced at the same time. These are also used for improving technology which makes our work so easily. For entertaining purpose also we are depending on these computers only. We are also using this for video calls for far from the distance. We are making contact with everyone through emails, WhatsApp, Facebook etc. In olden days we don't have technology and phones, people used to post the letters instead of calling. Now it is so easy to contact the others within a sec. Day by day there is an increase of technology is decreasing our work burden. In olden days, teachers used to dictate the notes but now they are sending emails. So, on the positive side, the usage of computers is very helpful for human to survive.

In the negative side, by using computer children spend time playing. They are losing their childhood & they are not participating in ers the lifespan of humans are decreasing day by day. Children are spending their time their outdoor games. By increasing technology, humans are being far from their relations with their families. These are making unemployment. Humans are not using their entire skills and knowledge as they are depending on computers. Computers are letting down humans knowledge and all are depending on computers for every small work.

Finally, my conclusion is using computers are good for improving our technology but every time depending on computers are letting down our knowledge and skills.

Thank you.

According to me we should not fully depended on computers. Its true that at present most of the work is done on computers but we should should try to keep it use only for the work and in some special work in which we have no other option. We should not include it in our habit because it leads to many health related problem. Of course it is a boon to human being but we should use it in proper way because every good thing has something bad in it.

Yes! we are too dependent on computers to get us through life.

We use it to find our relationships or to make friends, start fights, look for the current information to make alliances, social groups to find information, to give information, to build, destroy, educate the list keeps getting wider as the ages pass, we rely too much on technology.

But computer users ignore the risks & problems of using computers. Computers are a threat to human health. Computers can have effects on eyes, brain molecules & more. Computers are not only a threat to human bodies but they destroy relationships & make people lazy.

Computer users who work on the computers for extended time periods, don't have enough time for talking or connecting with society. Real communication occurs when people talk directly, from the speaker's mouth to the listener's ear. People also become lazy when they long periods of time with computers. The biggest problem is when computers stop working, people cannot function without computers because they're accustomed to using the computer.

Thank you.

Hello, everyone. I want to ask a question. In olden days, there are no vehicles to transport. People used to walk. It takes a lot of time to reach their destiny. Now-a-days even children are using transport. But they are forgetting to walk. Similarly, long back people used to write letters to send their messages. It also takes a lot of time to reach or probably convey their messages. Today world it takes seconds to send our messages. But it created distances in the relation among people. So there is a point to analyze and find it clearly that dependency is not bad. But over dependency causes to ill effects. In our topic, that dependency on the computer is good or bad. First, let us analyze the pros and cons of the computer. Computer is very useful in learning new things, reducing our mental stress, etc. And also very much helpful in spoiling our minds by unnecessary things. Now let us try to understand the difference between dependency and over dependency. For instance, we can use the computer in doing complex mathematical calculations is the dependency. But using the computer for simple calculations such as 23+45 is over dependency. So at last I want to say that rule the computer don't be ruled by the computer.
