Technology brings problems as well as benefits to humankind. Since Henry Ford began mass-producing them,
automobiles have provided us with a chepa and convenient means of transportation. However, they have also brought
us traffic jams and air pollution. A technological development that is changing our lives as much as the automoobiles
is the personal computer. Since the 1980s, personal computers have become common in homes, schools, and businesses,
and just as automoiles have brought unexpected problems, so have personal computers.
To begin with, communication by computer has caused some problems. Although we can easily send a
message to hundreds of people in an instant, we can also receive hundreds of messages, both wanted and unwanted,
in just a few minutes. It took several hours to read all of them. The lack of censorship in cyberspace is another problem
that no one has solved yet. Our expanded ability to communicate means that anyone with a computer can
communicate anything to anyone on any subjetc at any time. Therefore, computer-literate child can receive
pornographic photos and listen to chat-room conversations about adult content.
In addition, it causes problems in business. They have created opportunities for computerized crime.
Computer criminals use their skill to obtain secret business information and to steal money. Moreover, the use of
computers has depersonalized business. People are no longer customers; they are account numbers. Face to face
business transactions are no longer necessary. You can do all of that on the internet using computer.
It is clear personal computers have made our lives easier, but they have done so at a cost. As with every new invention,
there have been unforeseen consequences. It is up to us to find the solution to the problems as well as to enjoy the
conveiences of the new tool.
