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?

Computerized

information

has been increasingly used in the

last

few years, affecting our daily routine and making it inevitable to live without it. The purpose of

this

essay is to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of

information

technology and

then

I will give my own perspective, which is that life is much better and easier with it. The main disadvantage is that

people

interact less in person.

For example

, in the past it was necessary to go to the store, restaurant, school and nowadays many of those can be done online, reducing signicativally the social and physical contact between

people

.

Besides

, the amount of cybercrimes has been increasing and data can be used in scams.

For instance

, many apps require access to personal

information

and it is impossible to control what they do with it.

Therefore

, there is a constant risk in sharing

information

online.

In contrast

, there are many advantages.

First

, time and money are saved. Considering,

for example

, that many

people

are working at home office, studying online and ordering clothes and meals with a click, there is more time left to spend with activities that are really useful or pleasant, not on the traffic.

In addition

, it makes it possible to have different experiences and have access to valuable

information

.

For instance

, it is possible to search for the best options and prices quickly, connect with

people

from all over the world and learn thousands of things. In conclusion, I believe that both sides have merit. On balance, in my opinion,

although

there are a few risks and a natural reduction of physical contact,

information

technology has helped not only to save money and time

,
