The Good Kind of Addiction by: William Comtois

  Viruses, bugs, stolen computers these words probably make you feel anxious and nervous, but that not all, what if i told you you couldn't go on the internet to find the solutions to these problems! For some people this thought is imaginable. Our society has became too dependent to computers. The first working "computer" has been functional in 1991 and was was so big it would take up an entire room. Today only 13 years later some computers are thin enough to fit inside envelopes. And soon every family has possession of at least 1 computer which says a lot about our society's dependence on computers which is not a bad thing. They help develop intelligence, computers make everything easier and finally computers lets us keep in touch with our friends and people from all over the world. 

    Firstly, having computers in such easy reach now a days will be greatly benificial in the long run. The internet is the most educational tools for any subject and for any age group, and getting that education can actually be fun, yes FUN! Many educational websites have successfully made learning fun by making games that alow people to have fun while still making thier brain work to progress through out ythese games. Not only does computers alow the allow us to play these games they also let us gain knowledge on everything known to men only a few keyboards taps away! Wikipedia is a great example of this. No one uses books anymore if we need to culture ourselves on something we just search it up yon wikipedia and it is almost certain that wiki has information on it. It makes research more fast and accurate thus making us smarter and making people gain time which is precious.

   

   Computers are making everything easier, even writing this blog! Computers make everything easier, developers have put in years of work in order to make everything in our life only "one click away" for example, while writing this blog o did not need to find a dictionary, take it out then spend 5 minutes finding one word, all i needed to do was use spell check that automatically finds the mistakes that you may have made. Also computers also let you make things easier by doing it for you, something you want to download on your computer no worries just click accept and your computer will do everything for you all you have to do is wait!

     Have a friend who lives far away? Lets say you and your best friend got sparated because his dad had a new job and had to move far away well this is one more problem our dependence on computers solve. Computers have many social medias such as facebook and twitter that let you connects with friends and let you make new friends from all around the world. If you aren't satisfied with only comunicating my messages you can also install programs like skype which will let you talk amd each other though out camera that are built in or can be attached to your computer.

     In conclusion, being dependent to computers isn't that bad its actually making life better! Computers are making life better by making people more intelligent, makimg everything simpler and finally, computers let you keep in touch with friends from all around the world! So if you had the chance to make the world a better and easier place, would you take that chance?
