Computers have both positive and negative impacts on society according to the document. Positively, computers enhance learning through access to online information, enable social connections through sites like social media, and make professional and personal tasks more efficient. However, computers can also negatively impact physical health by reducing activity and straining eyes. Children are more vulnerable to inappropriate online content. Computer use has also been linked to issues like addiction, radiation exposure, and weakening of real-world social and family connections. While technology provides benefits, overuse carries risks that must be moderated.

13. NEGATIVE IMPACTS:

14. 1. Negative Effects on Physical Health
The more time a person spends on a computer,
the less likely the person is to participate in
physical activities, which can result in weight
gain. A person also is likely to experience eye
and back strain and possibly repetitive injuries
from computer use.

15. Beyond these issues, computers can create
turmoil for users by reacting slowly or suffering
from viruses and other problems, requiring
repair. The more dependent users are on their
computers, the more likely these setbacks will
affect their stress level and overall health.

16. 2. Children and Exposure to Adult Material
Many people, especially children and teenagers,
are vulnerable to finding highly explicit adult
material. Pornography is easily accessible to
children, and this can affect their attitude
toward sex as they mature.

and develop a surreal perception of sexual
encounters. Children who use the Internet also
are at risk of learning about different type of
drugs and how they alter sensations or how
crimes are committed.

19. 3. Vision Problems
Computer use can result in vision problems

contrast of text to the background, and letters
not being as sharp, or clear as on print create
problems.

Symptoms of CVS include eye strain, blurred
vision, headaches and dry eyes. These
symptoms are only temporary and begin to
lessen when you are not using the computer.

Tube, monitors that give off X-ray radiation that
can affect your health. Being exposed to
computer radiation can cause cancer, tumors,
miscarriage and birth defects, headaches and
insomnia.

monitors meet a radiation limit. However, they
still give off a small amount of radiation. You can
avoid exposing yourself to this radiation by
limiting your time using the computer or by
increasing your distance from the computer

information and entertainment . People who use
computers for this reason, which develop a computer

27. CONCLUSION:
Many people do work on the computer but smart
people do so much, then get up, get moving and get
into shape. They spend time with family and friends
and limit their time on the computer. There is a new
generation coming up where information is at ones
finger tips too easily and then it becomes a personal
thing in some peoples lives

28. . Before one knows it all will be like zombies wandering
around (out of shape) and wondering why no one is
relating to them. While technology is a wonderful thing
it is almost likely that it can be used in an immoral or
wrong way. There is a price to pay for everything even
if it appears its making life easier on people.

29. Thank You….
