Computers have negative effects on human relationship. What do you think of this? |
Modern technologies have changed, without any doubt, our daily life and human relationship all over the world. For example, one american nabob already traveled outward into space in 2001 and many patients have been relieved from pain and death by breakthroughs achieved by scientists in medical science. A computer is also one aspect of the most developed technologies lately. However, some people claim that computers have negative effects on human life and relationship. In this essay, the both sides of computers will be discussed in detail. Undoubtedly, people have less opportunities to meet their friends in person because they can meet friends in the Internet. So it does not take long time to lose their intimacy like an old saying “Out of sight, out of mind.” It is true that this disadvantage of computers threats human relationship. In addition, the most significant drawback of computers is that the more people use computer, the less they spend their time with other people. Even in a home, which is a basis of social interaction, they do not have enough time to communicate with one another when they connect themselves to the Internet or play computer games. They are becoming isolated from society because they live in cyberspace instead of real life. Social isolation may be an unexpected cost of the computer revolution. On the other hand, a computer is beneficial in modern society. Anyone with a computer can communicate with anyone on any subject at anytime in the cyber world. This means that people can easily meet and make friends on the globe through computers. They could broaden not only their horizon but also friendship with computers. Furthermore, people can join an association of like-minded persons in the Internet. In the association, they could enjoy their life and develop their relationship with fellows of same tastes. In conclusion, it is true that computer has both advantages and disadvantages in human relationship. It could enhance or intimidate social interaction according to how it is used. I think that only with moderate and proper use of computers, they could be favorable to human beings and they should be used as such. |
