Computers are seen by many as an obstacle, while others think they have given great help to humanity. In
this
 essay I will explain why computers could represent a barrier. In

such
 as text-neck syndrome or backache caused by an incorrect posture.

For instance
, in my country,
this
 ratio is growing and now the number of obese people has risen from 15 to 21 percent. That brings us to a

Suggestion
is considered
