Computers came into wide use about 20 years ago and they are playing an important role in our life. Will it be possible to live without a computer now?

In my opinion the invention of a computer is one of the most outstanding achievements in the history of mankind. To start with, computers are installed everywhere: in most companies, hotels, railway stations, airports, hospitals, schools. They perform a wide variety of activities reliably, accurately, and quickly. Also people use computers in many ways. In business, for example, computers may check the credit status of customers, and transfer money electronically. In homes, computers in most appliances control the temperature, operate home security systems, tell the time, and turn TV on and off. In addition computers are widely used in scientific research to solve mathematical problems or investigate complicated data.

On the other hand, the introduction of the computer brought into existence a lot of problems. Firstly, the computer affects on our health: eyesight, sleep, mood and so on. People spending hours at the computer see worse, often feel exhausted and sleep less. Secondly, a lot of people, especially young ones, have become dependent on the computer. They cannot imagine their lives without games or chats in the Internet. And finally, the computer brought into our lives other forms of crime. Hackers can break your security system and steal databases or even money from your bank account.

I think that computers help us to study. They are also entertain: we can play electronic games, listen to music, and see films. Moreover the Internet helps to communicate with the world and provides us with information about everything.

To sum it up, I state again that the computer is a significant innovation. But as any other sophisticated device, it should be handled with care.
