Can you imagine modern human life without a computer? Probably not. Today computers are an indispensable part of many fields of human activity, from agriculture to space missions. They control the economy, stock markets, currency transactions. A computer is important now for modern people as fire was for ancient people in the Stone Age. Some people believe computers have complicated our life. I would not agree with that claim. Society is developing day by day and as a integrated member of that society we have to attract more resources to meet our needs. Our life is becoming hard not because of computers, but our growing demands and expectations. however, misusing a computer could cause some serious problems. In particular, some children may become addicted to computer games and this could result in developmental problems. Even adults can become addicted to the Internet(which is not possible without a computer) which could consume thousands of work hours. For me a computer is important for learning a new language, reading new and valuable e-books and for the Internet access. It has made life easier for me.
