I think computers are good, but only if you use them in moderation. Using a computer too much might mean that you isolate yourself from people causing you to become a loner, and also it might have a bad effect on your eyesight if you're straining to look at a screen all day. You obviously have to be careful about viruses and hackers as well, but what do you think?

I would say computers are good. For me, a computer is a necessity. I have a job which requires me to do extensive market studies and research, and that needs me to be online on the internet many hours a day. Intenet has become the information highway, carrying loads of information of all kinds. It is very helpful for business development activities. Without a computer, it would be so hard for me to do my work.

I think that computers are good, at least they are for me. I find that they are useful tools for learning, research, and things like that.

Well computers has to sides, the good one and the bad one. The good one is when scientists use computers for exploring, when pupils or students can learn something from it or they can do it's homework... The bad one is when people spend to much time using computers for nothing, for talking with people on some social sites (Facebook, Twitter, MySpace or anythin like that. One more bad thing is that people spend time on playing games...When people spend their time on nothing... That's my answer to this question.

It is a very simple and good question. I agree with you, but sometimes, you do not have another option. In my job profile, I have to use the computer for 8-9 hours. Apart from my office, I am so used to of Internet and other things on computer that, I am bound to use it for another 3-4 hours at home. Sometimes, if anything interesting comes out, I may end up spending 5-6 hours at home. My point here is, it depends, most of the things that human being has created is for making life easy and I would say, computer is the best thing that human being has ever created. However, if you use it like sometimes I do, you will end up affecting your body, as you have mentioned, eyesight will be affected very easily. Therefore, to summarize, I would say, Computer is not only good but it is awesome. However, how you use it, that decides its effects on your body and your brain.

Of course it's always Good. i don't know 'bot others but according to me This inventions i.e. Computer's are always good for me, after all 'm earning money from it. Sometimes it becomes dangerous for eyes, when it is used for all day and night time,though LCD's are invented for less harm.
