Nowadays, the usage of computers has enlarged its range of influence
at an unexpected pace in our society. As a result, It is not too much to say
that almost everyone is learning how to use computers even at a very young
age. Then, how about those who doesn't have knowledge about computers?
Following paragraphs will identify some effects that these people get.
For example, in my country, people who are computer illiterate are often teased and neglected by others. Not knowing how to use computer is
regarded as not knowing how to speak one's mother tongue. As these,
popularization of computer technics can be actually realized. Living in
computerized society bring surely bad treatments and especially inconveniences
to those who are computer illiterate.
First of all, submitting or handling documents or bills are treated by computer. Banking directly at banks is now transfered to internet banking
system. Public programs are now uploaded or downloaded through interent.
Person who are not familiar with those might face severe hardships doing
his/her daily activities.
Secondly, communication with others and shareing information about
recent news are held online. Getting valuable information as fast as possible
is the most important qualification to find jobs easily. People who find it hard
to have close admission online will lag behind in the intense competitons,
today.
In conclusion, I believe that computer illiterates would be more disadvantaged and loose many opportunities or benenfits in the near future.
They soon will not be able to understand their friends talking about computer
related conversation. That's why they won't hang around with others
in the society anymore. They will just stay home alone. To prevent this
serious situation, teaching computer illiterates should be focused as soon as
possible. |
