The use of technology has made our lives easier, so has provided benefits to society, one person is able to replace dozens, typing pools have disappeared into history. Manufacturing plants operated by a few and mostly manned by robots. But over-reliance is a problem. Being from the generation that spanned the tech explosion, seeing tech go from BBC micros to Windows Surface 4. The problem comes when you try to restrict people to what a display tells them, initiative goes out the window. Customer Service is a display you go down like a plan, answer 1 leads to option 3. Dependence destroys initiative, self-reliance, maturity. So in truth computers are a good thing, as an aid to work, leisure etc. BUT only as an aid, to depend on them leaves society open to manipulation and control. Learn to live without technology, you then get to appreciate it more, but are also able to form your own opinions, without the computer saying no.

Hi, all. As we all know about human that from discovering of fire entered into wheel then emerged into the computer. It is irrefutable that it not only, revolutionised our lives but also, created a lot of creations for us. Moreover, it replaced the work of ten employees by itself. Like we use computer programming in approximately all machines which have transformed the impossible word into possible. It is the only innovation which has brought plenty of changes in the development societies. But, these do not mean that we should dependence on the computer by all aspects. Because it has a fare share of disadvantages. Firstly, it an emphasis to its owners to leave a sedentary lifestyle. Consequently, they become the prey of lethargic and sedentary life. Which us not for only for those people but also, for the particular nation. That are the reasons due to which we should not dependence on computers.

Here I would like to tell you my views on computer is a bad or good. According to me computer is not good or not bad. It is depend upon us how we use it in bad or in good. Because of computer we can easily share over data from one country to another country. As many people says that because of this unemployment is increase but if we want to develop country so we have to use these technology.

Every one know that everything has some good points and bad points but we can easily remove the bad points of computer technology. As many of my friends told by the computer technology anyone hack account and miss use the Facebook id's and etc.

But by the use of ethical hacking we secure over account and id's. So by removing all the disadvantages of this technology we have only advantages of that technology.

At last I would like to say computer is boon for us. By the use of this we can easily come fast.

Computer is relatively a remarkable invention. Ever since first PC was introduced in early 80s, every second the users are increasing.

At the brighter side, computers have revolutionized the nation. There has been a tremendous decrease in manual efforts, things have been automated to a great extend, all it needs is just a click! (Sometimes not that even). Computers enable us to maintain soft copies of important documents, thereby maintaining the balance of nature. Social networking, online ticket booking, shopping are just other few benefits down the list.

There is no denial to the fact that technology has invaded modern world. Our dependency on computers in increasing day by day, results can be alarming! (Try & imagine a day without computers!). But I believe that we should not let technology control us. We should be the ones controlling Technology, after all we have invented it!

Dependence on computer good or bad. We are becoming increasingly dependent on computers. They are used in businesses, hospitals, crime detection and even to fly planes. Most of the gadgets that makes our life easier have a computer.

Firstly, computers are widely being used in different work field. Example of it, in airline industry, one of the most important component is computer. They are the one who calculate the speed, altitude and tell the pilot if there is something wrong with the airplane.

Computers also help people to communicate to their loved ones. More that that, computers has a great role in improving safety measures.

Furthermore, it is very dangerous when a computer is hacked. Personal or government files might be exposed. Also public safety will be Jeopardize if a warhead/missile is being activated by terrorist group by hacking the military installation.

Dependence on computers has become a widely debated topic in recent years.
On one hand, computers have made our lives easier and more efficient in various aspects such as communication, work, and education. With the help of computers, we can accomplish tasks faster and store vast amounts of information. Additionally, computers have opened up new possibilities for innovation and discovery.

On the other hand, dependence on computers can also have negative effects, such as decreased critical thinking skills, increased social isolation, and job displacement. Moreover, over-reliance on computers can lead to security and privacy concerns, as well as potential health problems like eye strain and back pain.

Overall, it can be said that while computers have brought many benefits to our lives, it is important to strike a balance and not become overly dependent on them.

Hi,

Computer was bought to this world during world war II buy a British mathematician/scientist, with a sole purpose to intercept the messages passed by Germans during war, so that english forces could take down Germans easily and also another method was there to intercept those messages and decode it by hiring lot of man power (lot of mathematicians /scientists).

Lot of people having secret info could corrupt many among them. Hence my point is, computers have more advantages than disadvantages.

Its safe and secure for all information, less people can handle it and also you can reduce paper use hence saving trees good way to go! Also whole world is at touch of your fingers, its only a question of how one uses it. Only thing is reduction of man power. As far as harmfulness to health is considered it can be eliminated buy using it only for specified times.

Computer has become the lifeline of modern generation.

We can chat with people away from us by just sitting at a corner of our home. We can also take courses in institutes through E-learning. World is developing faster because of computers. It also allows human to be creative in every aspect.

On the other hand, dependence on a computer has adverse effect, because it causes laziness, physical activity decreases and many more. It makes us feel work less and the power of our mind gradually decreases. We will be facing a lot of problems regarding health.

So, in my opinion we should make the best use of the computer in the areas of requirement and to make its proper use without neglecting ourselves and our resources though it may consume time. I am not saying that we should not use in our busy schedule, we can but to only that extent that is required.

As far as I am concerned depending on computers is absolutely a good thing. We could access more information regarding different fields from the computer. Its making our job much more easier. Its reduces time consumption. Once upon a time email made us wonder of sending information in no time rather than sending letters through post.

Its obviously known for its versatility. In this modern era it is connecting us through social networking. The main one is storage capacity it could store more information what a man cannot store in his brain. In the field of communication, space tech, information technology playing an important role and many more pros to say. While reviewing cons I would say some bad things even present in computer now. Some adults would get addicted to bad habits and spoiling their entire life.

Hello everyone, first of all its a pleasure to put my opinion on this topic and thanks to INDIABIX for giving such a platform.

My opinion says yes it is good to depend on computer because this marvelous gift of science has made our life very advanced compared to earlier days. It reduces human effort and saves time too. When the matter comes to communication, there too it has a great novel deed.

Yes it has some bad effects too like over dependence on computer can be harmful in building our mind properly because there would be a less chance of exposing ourselves to nature, natural things etc. Besides it can have an affect on our health too since there is a chance of people become lazy.

So in conclusion I'll say 'excess for anything is dangerous'. So use it only that much.

It required and in a healthy manner.
