Computers are part of our every day life, they seem a necessity in the society we live in. But not every body lives in "our" society, so a lot of inhabitants of the world, don't even know what a computer is. We are in the fortunate position, to look at both, the positive as well as the negative, aspects of this topic.
Looking at it from a more critical point of view, there are also negative aspects. Human beings don't think as much as before, because computers do it for us. In spite of that, for scientists the computer is an important tool for their work, because it saves them time to think about other matters.
An other reason to lead to the conclusion that a computer is a negative thing, are the newspapers, that publish every day articles about domestic violence from children to their parents, school masacres caused by some video games. The problem is that nowadays there are more and more children who are always at home entertaining themselves with agressive video games, instead of playing outside.
On the other hand, concentrating on more positive aspects, the first that comes to mind is the help that computers give us in our work, because they permit us to do the things quicker, and to get all the information we need, in no time and from a very compresed informative background.
Moreover PC's play a very important part in a teenagers life, because they are an essential tool for keeping in touch with your friends, whenever and wherever you are.
What's more, looking at the connection between computers an our enviroment, they are a good because we can save paper, and with this trees.
After having stated some pros and cons, I want to include my point of view, which is that pc's are not a necessity. Why? well, because it depends on the definition of the word necessity, for me, necessity means something necessary to survive, like food, water... and computers are not in this group.
If I had to choose amongst all the arguments I would go for the computer being a tool which makes my life easier, but isn't a necessity.
