Computers provide many advantages such as increased productivity, vast information storage and easy access, and the ability to connect with others. However, computers can also pose health risks if used improperly and may reduce attention spans. Additionally, overreliance on computers risks loss of privacy and could limit learning. In the future, computers may replace many jobs as they continue to become more capable.

COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY

2. ADVANTAGES

3. Increase Your Productivity
Computers increase your productivity and with a
good understanding of the software running on
them you will become more productive at
everything you do. For example, once you have a
basic understanding of using a word
processor you can create, store, edit, share, and
print documents and letters.

4. Connects You to Internet
Connecting a computer to the internet is what
unlocks the power of the computer. Once
connected to the Internet your choices and
available options are almost limitless, and many
of the benefits listed on this page are a computer
that is connected to the Internet.

5. Storing Information
Computers are capable of storing and accessing
vast amounts of information. For example, a
computer and devices like E-Books readers can
store hundreds and if given enough storage could
store millions of books.

6. Sort , Organize & Search
Information
A computer can also use its stored information
more efficiently than any other device. In our earlier
example, we mentioned the ability to store millions
of books. Once those books are stored on a
computer they can be sorted into
categories, alphabetized, and can be searched to
find exactly may be looking for in less than a
minute.

7. Keeps You connected
Computers can help keep you connect with long
distance friends and family over email and social
networking. You can also connect with millions of
other people that share the same interests as you
over online forums, chat, and VoIP services
like Skype.

8. Can Make You Money
When connected to the Internet, a computer can
help you make money many different ways. For
example, it is much cheaper to create and run an
online store than having a physical store.

9. Improve Your Abilities
Are you not the best speller, have poor grammar,
not great at math, don't have a great memory, or
need help with something else. By using all of the
computers abilities, you can improve all of your
abilities or if you have a hard time learning you can
rely on the computer to assist you.

10. Keep You Entertained
With a computer, you could store and listen to
millions of songs and watch a DVD if you have a
drive. When connected to the Internet, you could
watch an endless amount of streaming and online
videos from popular sites like Amazon, Netflix,
and YouTube.

11. DISADVANTAGES

12. Health Risk
Posture-related injuries from computer use. Back
and neck pain, headaches, and shoulder and arm
pain are common computer-related injuries. Such
muscle and joint problems can be caused or made
worse by poor workstation (desk) design, bad
posture and sitting for long periods of time.

13. Short Attention Span
With today's computers, computer devices, and the
Internet we have all become hooked on instant
gratification. As you use a computer and the
Internet and get immediate answers to your
questions and requests, you become accustomed to
getting that quick dopamine fix. You can become
easily frustrated when something doesn't work or is
not answered in a timely matter.

14. Can limit learning and create a dependency
If you can remain focused, a computer with the Internet
can be one of the greatest tools in history to learn about
anything. It's also easy to become overly reliant on a
computer and other electronic devices. For example, a spell
checker is a great tool for finding spelling errors. However,
if you never learn the proper spelling of a word and just
rely on spell checker or auto-correct, you're more likely to
make spelling errors.

15. Loss of Privacy
With computers storing so much of your personal
information and now being connected to the Internet you
risk the potential of that information getting into the hands
of others.

16. Reduce Jobs
As computers become smarter and more capable, they also
replace the need for many jobs. In the future, it is also not
inconceivable that computers will be able to carry out any
job.
