,
omputers have found a permanent place in the world of work. In my opinion they have made our lives easier and convenient in numerous ways.
For example
, students can
use
 their laptops for research, get more information, and create presentations for school, a businessman can close a deal without big efforts staying at home. That’s because they offer many ways to communicate with each other by email, chatting, video chat and we can now do our tasks more easily than before.
On the other hand
, computers can bring some disadvantages in fact they reduce social life. Game and other applications installed on computers can be addictive. Lots of young people prefer to spend their time at home in front of a computer than socialize, they live in the world of games isolated from the real one. If the individual time is spent excessively on accessing the internet, there will be a shortage of real conversation.
As a result
this
 situation can make a relationship with family or friends deteriorate. In conclusion, according to both viewpoints, computers are indispensable in our lives, but if we
use
 them incorrectly they can be a hindrance than a help.I firmly believe that computers are very important in people’s lives, but there should be some limitations to
