Computers... a good thing and at the same time a bad thing..

I think it's a good thing but the addiction...sometimes we forget to do things we are supposed to, sometimes we stay longer and be sleepy the next day, but that's not the computers, it's our selves :p I love computers.

Yeah computers are both good and bad because everybody can pretty much get on the internet and I mean everybody. Some people use masks to hide behind these computers because you don't know who they are so it is like they are wearing masks and they pretty much say what ever they want because nobody knows who they are it really is a horrible thing. Still the computer is pretty much part of my life because I go on here like everyday so I won't get bored and I pretty much need the internet and computer for college it's like a must because who wants to do their work at school I am not into that, but some people are and that's ok too, but I rather do my school work at home.

In my university years I wasn't able to use a computer. Many of the other students typed all their assignments and used a computer to go on to the Internet. Due to not using a computer keyboard in those days I was very fast at writing. That meant that I could write ever such a lot in the examinations. I got into computing when I was a newly qualified teacher. I am way too addicted to the Internet now and this takes up much of my time. My teenage son is way too interested in computer games. In my student days I concentrated on revising. I use my laptop every day and at least three times a day when I am at home. When I go off traveling I take my net book so I can still get on-line. If all computers shut down life would be miserable without My Lot, Face Book and my emails. Booking a flight would be more difficult. Libraries are all computerized and if computers went down they would lose all their records.

Well, when I was young I got introduced the computer, it was something fun that I used to spend my free time on, that when I was a kid, I've loved it, so I've decided to study about it, so computer, since I was young, was a part of my life, if I can live without it, yes I can, but life isnt the same thing, people can live without everything thats an object or something you can touch, but people can't live without feelings, I know im going a bit out of the topic but, I think computer is becoming a must on people's lives, BUT, isnt a must, people can definitly live without it... Now talking about games addiction, yes its true that games are very addicting and that only happens if people start playing games, most online, because offline games aren't that addicting because they are always the same thing, online games change by every update or depends on what the other players do or not, so that causes the game to become addicting... Yes, the most addicting type of games is MMORPG, being that "Massive Multiplayer Online RolePlaying Games", which means, everyone can create a character, then level up its character untill its max level, in the max level, there are diferences between every player depending on the content of the game they have, the ones who have most, are the best ones, and the others aren't the worst but they're not the best either... That's the part that the addiction comes, you want to be part of the best, but there's someone whos in that part already, you want to be better than him, so with that, you have to spend time, countless hours, in every MMORPG that happens, its just environment of the type of game... Talking about social networks, most specially, Facebook, I don't like social networks, but that's me, everyone can have their opinion, social networks make people talk less in the "real life" and talk most in the "internet life", they meet people online and then they go meet them in real life, and people isn't what they expected them to be, completely normal because internet makes people look diferent, "typing" isn't the same as "talking", pictures make you look diferent than what you really are in the real life, and I'm not even talking about the manipulated/edited ones, just talking about the pictures, depending ont he perspectives of the picture taken, people will look diferent, thats a fact... And yeah, sorry for the massive text, but this is my comment about this, I really enjoyed this discussion.

Its very good in may different ways cause it always makes thins easier for us. Its how people make use of the computer that make it bad. If you stay in the computer all day long doing nothing other than stuff you can do in the internet then that's bad enough.

I feel as if it can be a good thing as well as bad. Some ppl dont know how to do anything without technology which at times is not a good thing
