A lot of people have become dependent on technology as it plays a big role in our daily lives. Do you agree that living in computer age has more advantages than disadvantages? Describe the positive and negative impacts of technology on our lives and give your opinion.

Nowadays one simply cannot imagine their

life

without technologies. There is barely any contemporary field where

people

do not rely on computers heavily.

Nevertheless

, in my opinion,

this

leads to a better and more sustainable world. On one hand, there are some flaws of

such

a way of human

development

.

First

of all, the epidemic of mental

health

problems has been occurring recently. The faster than ever

development

of human society, which is a direct consequence of the beginning of the digital

era

, is making

people

more and more anxious about the future. The speed of the world-changing is seemed as terrifying by a preponderance of

people

and plenty of them find themselves incapable of keeping up that pace.

Secondly

, physical

health

problems have appeared as well due to the sitting way of

life

. As the majority of

people

are now involved in labour via computers, they tend to spend their whole day sitting in the office. Brief brakes of changing the sitting place during the day are the only physical activities they perform.

Moreover

, these all

health

problems lead to poor productivity as well.

On the other hand

, there are plenty of advantages of the computer

era

and they, in my opinion, overwhelm the disadvantages.

Firstly

, education now is much more accessible than it used to be in the past. The invention of the Internet has brought all human knowledge accessible for everyone and free of cost.

Thus

the average educational level is today higher than ever before which has led us to a much more tolerant and reasonable society.

Secondly

, to maintain a decent level of

life

for the rapidly growing population of the Earth we need more and more advanced technologies in the agricultural, medical and many other fields.

This

cannot be achieved without the power of computational technologies which enables us to solve incredibly complex tasks. To conclude, even though the computer

era

has brought us challenges with our

health

, it has contributed to our

development

as well.

As a result

of the digital revolution, the average level of

life

is higher than ever, the crime rate hits its bottom and the

development

pace is the fastest seen by humankind.

Thus

, I believe the computer

era

has brought much more advantages than disadvantages.
