To begin with, computers really make people easy to communicate each other by using various soft wares such as e-mail, messenger, and etc. “Electronic mail” is really fast and easy to use if you learn how to use it. For example, when I need to send some news to my family from the U.S to Korea, I just type a letter with computer and attach some pictures which I took by digital camera and send the letter with electronic mail software by clicking the mouse. The mail can arrive in a second or in a minute from the U.S. to Korea. I do not have to write by using pen for an hour and to go to post office and to prepare any papers, stamps and envelops. How fast and convenient it is.
In addition, by using computers, people can access news and information very easily and fast in their home or office without going library or reading a newspaper. For example, as I am a research scientist, I have to search a lot of articles and materials. After libraries provide electronic materials, it really made me easier to access and search articles because I just type some queries to computer and then if there are results I just download the article and read it through the computer without going library. By using computer, I can access hundreds of thousands of libraries in the world just sitting in front of my desk in my office.
In conclusion, computer brings so many conveniences in our lives such as advancement of communication, accessibility of information. However, there are also side effects of computers. Ironically, sometimes, computer makes them loner even though they always try to communicate someone very easily and fast because they build their own island which means like cyber space and they always play there without any communication to “real world.”
