Computers are made to help man do tasks. but still there are people who consider computers as pest. What exactly are the reasons why?

There are these health hazards.. Too much exposure and the more we use computers can lead to cancer because of the radiation or even vision defficiency. And not to forget the electricity bills that we are paying every month!;)

Modern day computers don't contain or emit radiation. And the amount of electricity they consume is miniscule .. less than running a lightbulb. That's not including rebooting, however, which does consume a little more. (2 lightbulbs lol)

Computers replacing human manpower, for one. There are many jobs that have been completely done away with, since computers can now handle the task. For one, telemarketting and telephone response. I HATE calling a company and being greeted by a computer program, and I miss the days when an actual person was there to answer my questions, instead of having to play roundabout to find a person at any of these companies.
