The usefulness of computers

Supporters of technology say that it solves problems and makes life better. Opponents argue that technology creates new problems that may threaten or damage the quality of life.

There are several viewpoints on the implications of technological change and advancement and such schools of thought which considerably vary have their respective validity. Technological change has its advantages and disadvantages. For one, it is true that it partly solves problems and makes life better. At the same time, technological cchanges may likely create new problems thereby threatening or damaging quality of life.

In the developing economies, for instance, technological advantages have both its merits and demerits. The introduction and seeming acceptability and usefulness of computers have somehow helped increase the efficiency of several firms. It is not only in the industrial sector that technological change proven to be very effective. In the agricultural sector, for example, the introduction of new technologies in increasing production has been very effective in expanding aagricultural produce. These are just a few examples to illustrate the advantages of technological advancement.

On the other hand, countries should be more careful on their choice of technology since it must be noted that while certain types of technology are aadaptable to developed economies the same type of technology may not fit the environment of developing countries due to differing economic, social, cultural, and political factors. For example, infrastructure improvements such as a construction of irrigation dam in the mountain of the Philippines where several natives reside may likely be resisted by the population due to cultural factors. They may prefer not to have such improvements in view of traditional values. Another example is the pollution impact of some technological improvements particularly in the industrial sectors.

The choice and adaptability of new technology should therefore be carefully studied. The short, medium, and long term impact of such technology is very important particularly for developing economies. The benefits should always be greater tthan the costs.

I am inclined to support both positions because both views have their own validity. However, I am more convinced that technological advancement is really beneficial to countries so long as they are aware of the disadvantages of such technology.

In my own points of view, I support technology can solve problems and makes life better. Computer helps human solves thousands of problems, especially, science. A lot of calculation was so complex. It is impossible count them from normal method. IIt should use a very fast computer in order to compute it. Super conductor, one of the hot technology topic. A lot of scientists study this kind of stuff. It is a very important stuff. That is wonderful. We can easily solve the big problem, „energy“. It can pass through the energy without losing.

Finally, I support technology. Because it is more benefit.
