COMPUTERS: THE REVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY

Nowadays, we can find computers everywhere. In banks, in offices, at schools, at hospitals and at home. In the past, people used the typewriter, but this machine is completely outdated.
All services become easy and quick by means of the computers. Through the internet, people send e-mails, receive messages, exchange information, pay bills, transfer money, do researches, play games and make friends too. Pretty drawings, pictures and landscapes are available in diverse sites. Besides, we can get into museums, libraries and cultural centers all over the world.
There are many advantages in using computers, but, on the other hand, there is a big disadvantage: unemployment. Computers are substituting the human beings in many places. The population is growing but the jobs are diminishing.
In fact, computers are practical and useful, but they can’t substitute man in everything. Computers don’t have feelings or sensitivity. Can you imagine a machine doing the services of a psychologist, a doctor, a teacher or a babysitter? It would be a disaster!
