Computer and Internet.

Computers and Internet.

Computers are good servants but bad masters.
Computers and internet have so mixed in our life
that its existence is taken for granted. It is always there. Just as we do not
notice the presence of telephone, light water, tea food and that their
existence is taken for granted. We miss these essential items of life
when they are not there. Computer and internet have become an integral
part of our life. We miss them when the internet connection is not there.

There are always complaints from the house, from family that
we spend too much of our time after computers. The machine has
turned out to be a part of us without which one feels missing and lost.
It is true that computers make it easy for us to work all the time. We can
connect the internet and make business deals from the bed-room.

Computers can be used to avoid family intimacy. Some computer programs
allow the surfers to communicate with women on the screen. There are
incidents of divorce when they engage in affair with someone they met
on the computer. Computer makes it easier for us not to think.

There are positive benefits of the computer which outweighs some
malpractices at the hands of unscrupulous people. We have to compromise
and live with the computer and the internet.. We can not avoid it.
We can restrict its use and should not be machine addicts for our own sake.
Computer and internet has revolutionized the life.
Computer and internet have to be used for getting knowledge which
was denied. Knowledge sharing was a privilege of a selected few.
Now this is not so.
