Up until now, there have been a number of
technological innovations such as cars and televisions that have made a
difference in our lives. However, from my perspective, computers are (computer
is) the most innovative technology contributing to change in people's
lives. In this essay, I am going to present two types of (profound) changes that computers have brought to us profoundly.
To begin with, computers have drastically changed the
way we communicate each other(s). Only ten years
ago, people interacted with one another by using wire
telephone and exchanging letters. However, today(,)
we communicate via internet video telephone, looking at faces. Besides, people
use emails to immediately send messages instead of sending hand-written
letters. As time goes by, there are very few people who go to the post office
for taking stamps and (for) mails.
In addition, computers have changed the way we work
and transact (interact)
mutually. People previously had to go to the bank to pay utility bills;
however, now we do not need to go to the bank because we can use
internet-banking, which allows (us) to pay bills
conveniently by automatic withdrawal system.
Also, people do not get around stores or malls to purchase necessities because
online shopping is available at anytime and anywhere and (at) cheaper (price).
In summary, there are several changes (ways) that
computers have affected our lives. The most tremendous effects are (changes
were) in the ways of our communication and transaction.
