Friends, Is a computer good or bad? ( I mean using computer) Is it just like a calculator? What about a TV? Yesterday I went to give bill to Insurance corporation. The counter is closed(not a holiday)After inquiry I understood that it is a mistake of computer in that section. The man sitting near it do not know -what to do! This is not the only case. So many other instances happened to my friends here.(in South India) So I am asking it. Of course computers has its own merit. But to a uneducated man in the field of computer, it is a tablet made of stone.

Computers are very good if you use them to the fullest extent. I earn money with mine daily. I help pay the bills and buy the things we need with mine.

Hi there Shskumbla! I think that we should adapt with the changes in the technology so that we will be efficient no matter what. I think we should also be resourceful and creative enough to find stable alternatives when technology fails us. The computer is neither good or bad. I believe that it depends upon the person who uses it. If it is used for something good, then it is good. If otherwise, then, it is bad.

It depends upon the situation. If a person uses the copy paste feature for the requirements in school or chooses to use the computer for pure entertainment, then it takes time that could be spent doing something productive. But, if the person uses the computer for education, then the results will be good.

Most of the times is not mistake of computer but people whose use them. I can not imagine my life without computers. I depend of them in my privet life and at work. Thanks to the computers we are able to speed up things we normally do and communicate or create new things and technologies. As for me I can't think that computer is just counting machine.

It is good if one is not addicted to surfing the net. But no matter what, it is a necessity in modern day living.

The computer has become a very useful, and even indispensible fascility for many purposes. Yes, the computer can also have some glitches, and that can be very frustrating. One has to have the knowledge and the skill to solve such problems.

I think that computers can be amazing when they're used properly but, for people who don't know how to use them, things can get very complicated. There are lots of things now that you wouldn't be able to do if you didn't have a computer. Because of this, many people are being left behind in the modern world because they're unable to use a computer and therefore can't do a lot of the things that many people who can use them would be able to do in their lives. People should be given free classes on how to work a computer, as they would probably find that they would be of a great benefit to them in their every day lives.

We have to keep in mind that; we can use a computer - to useful purposes and not useful purpose. It decreased Job opportunity, in the other hand it increased job oportunity!

Computer is good in many ways that it helps many workers do their jobs easily esp those works the requires a lot of writing. Of course there is also disadvantages about computers like what happened when the century reached 20th and computers are not designed or not upgraded- it takes time before many establishments has to do their normal job/s due to this issue. have a good day jaiho®

Hi shskumbla: That's an interesting question. In my opinion we can't call a tool like computers good or bad because it's just that a tool. You can use it for good or bad things. In this case, I don't know why the man acted like this. We shouldn't be slaves of computers. If the system is not working you can take a note and update the information later. It's a big problem to depend 100% of computers. People who work on computers should know that they sometimes have to find solutions when the system is not working fine. ALVARO

Well, I work in the field of Information Technology so I'll definitely say it's good :D People should just know how to handle computers. Computers are created to make people's work easier. To make research, computation, calculations, collaboration and sharing easier. As long as the user or person would know how to use, it, then it's good :) Basic crash course on computers helps a lot especially to people who's not that knowledgeable on the said matter :)

computers are a great thing because you can do so much you can keep track of all of your finances, get connected to the internet and learn anything you want, watch movies the possibility's are endless. Maybe if you can get access to a computer you should play around with one to see how they work, thats the best way to learn.
