Information technology is changing many aspects of our lives and now dominates our home, leisure and work activities. To what extent do the benefits of information technology outweigh the disadvantages?

Computers and their applications have a huge impact on our daily lives because of their utmost

benefits

. In the past, it was difficult to store and retrieve

information

and papers were used widely for

this

purpose. In

this

contemporary world,

information

technology

has made

one

's life easy both at work and home. There are some disadvantages of IT which are related to the memorization skills of people, but overall I believe the

are completely outweigh

its demerits.

One

of the main advantages of

is the storage of

information

. Not only

one

can store

information

on computers, phones and the like, but

can

also

access the

from anywhere in the world.

system and stores

online for unlimited time.

Furthermore

, the process of uploading and downloading any

data

is not time-consuming because of the fast internet services around the globe.

Therefore

, not only

information

technology

is used by professionals but

also

individuals use

this

for their daily chores.

For example

, women write down their notes on the phone for grocery items, adults track their daily exercise routine through various apps on the phone and businesses store their invoices on the computer.

Moreover

, people do not have to memorize

information

anymore due to

technology

.

This

is the other benefit of

information

technology

as all their

information

and

data

is just

one

click away.

However

, there are some arguments that because of

this

the skill of an individual to memorise something has affected us because too much relaxation to the brain leads to memory problems.

However

,

this

can be achieved by various means

such

as playing computer games, exercises, cardboard games and the like.

Furthermore

,there are some concerns regarding the privacy of the

data

which can be solved by strong passwords. In conclusion, there are many

benefits

of

information

technology

including storage and easy access to

data

from anywhere in the world. In my opinion, the

benefits

of IT has completely outweighed its disadvantages as the overall impact of IT is positive in our lives.
