Information technology is changing many aspects of our lives and now dominates our home,leisure, and work activities. Do the advantages of information technology outweigh the drawbacks?

Information technology has changed our lives a

lot

lately. We all spend a

lot

of time online, using smart appliances at home, and we can no longer imagine our

life

without gadgets. We can safely say that the

life

of a modern

person

directly depends on IT. Let's start with the benefits.

Firstly

, the

Internet

has opened up many new opportunities for people-the main one of which is accessible communication. People can communicate with each other from completely different points of the Earth. And in order to receive the message, you do not need to wait- just press the send button and that's it, the message is received.

For example

, I have friends from Switzerland, we communicate via Snapchat-it is very convenient!

Secondly

, technology helps us a

lot

every day: all the information we need is on the

Internet

.

For example

, you have a stomach ache and you do not know what pill to drink, or you want to make a pie, but you do not know the recipe. The

Internet

will always come to the rescue and tell you what to do in a given situation.

Thirdly

, a huge advantage is the ability to pay online, by card and smartphone.

This

technology has made

life

easier for millions of people, no need to carry a

lot

of cash, just take a credit card! But there are some disadvantages. A modern

person

very often has all his work, personal

life

and leisure in a smartphone. He does not let it out of his hands, hoping to get a notification.

Also

with gamers. Young guys are ready to sit at computers for days, playing online games, shooting games. It is impossible to spend a

lot

of time online, as

this

affects the psyche, forms a

person

's addiction.

Then

it only gets worse-if you take a gadget from

such

a

person

, he will become lost and aggressive. The

second

disadvantage is that the

Internet

is an unsafe place.

This

often happens: an

Internet

user visits a website, follows a link there and loses their data.

This

is called hacking. After hacking, the data either goes into free access, or fraudsters can blackmail them. Recently,

this

problem has been quite common. In conclusion, I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Gadgets are already an indispensable part of our lives and people will not be able to get rid of them.
