Computers are often argued to be the most important invention of the last hundred years. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

While there have been many great

inventions

in many sectors during the

last

century, some

people

argue that the personal computer is the most important

invention

of that time.

However

, I strongly disagree with

this

statement given the fact that there have been far more influential

inventions

that are equally or even more important than computers.

First

of all, there have been many great

inventions

that have revolutionized life in a way that was seemingly impossible before their launch. One obvious example would be the

invention

of automobiles and aeroplanes which have changed modern life completely. With the help of automobiles and other transportations, the way

people

commute has improved drastically and the overall development of many nations

also

has been on the rise.

Second

of all, with the help of many innovative scientific pieces of knowledge that has changed the medical and agricultural sectors in the world, the overall quality of living has dramatically improved, resulting in many positive changes to the lives of many

people

around the world.

For example

, with the

invention

of antibiotics and plant breeding methods, many

people

were able to survive and overcome deadly diseases and famine. Admittedly, the

invention

of computers is by no means unimportant as it led to various other

inventions

and technological advances that could benefit humankind immensely. Yet I believe that there are other far more revolutionary

inventions

that have helped us more in terms of living a higher quality life. To conclude, I firmly believe that the

invention

of computers has been marked as only one of the greatest

inventions

of the

last

century but not as the single best entity.
