The last two decades have seen enormous changes in the way people's lives are affected by IT. Twenty
years ago, few people had access to a computer while today most people use them at work, home or school and
use of e-mail and the Internet is an every day event.
These developments have brought many benefits to our lives. E-mail makes communication much easier
and more immediate. This has numerous benefits for business, commerce, and education. The World Wide
Web means that information on every conceivable subject is now available to us. Clearly, for many people this
has made life much easier and more convenient.
However, not all the effects of the new technology have been beneficial. Many people feel that the
widespread use of e-mail is destroying traditional forms of communication such as letter writing, telephone and
face-to-face conversation. In addition, the huge size of the Web means it is almost impossible to control and
regulate. This has led to many concerns regarding children accessing unsuitable websites. In conclusion,
developments in IT have brought many benefits, yet I believe developments relating to new technology in the
future are likely to produce many negative effects that will need to be addressed very carefully.

The last two decades have seen enormous changes in the way people's lives are affected by IT. Twenty
years ago, few people had access to a computer while today most people use them at work, home or school and
use of e-mail and the Internet is an every day event.
These developments have brought many benefits to our lives. E-mail makes communication much easier
and more immediate. This has numerous benefits for business, commerce, and education. The World Wide
Web means that information on every conceivable subject is now available to us. Clearly, for many people this
has made life much easier and more convenient.
However, not all the effects of the new technology have been beneficial. Many people feel that the
widespread use of e-mail is destroying traditional forms of communication such as letter writing, telephone and

regulate. This has led to many concerns regarding children accessing unsuitable websites. In conclusion,
developments in IT have brought many benefits, yet I believe developments relating to new technology in the
