Charles Babbage, the father of computers, invented the first mechanical computer. Later in 1833 he invented a general purpose computer such as the ones today. As computers started to evolve the first ENIAC(Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer). Which was made nearly a century later by John W. Mauchly and J.Presper Eckert.
Since computers have such high capabilities many people today and throughout history have relied on computers. Such as, talk to people from farther differences, meet people from other countries, and receive information much faster. Because computers make life so much easier, they’ve become very addictive. A study has shown that the number of illiterate people have increased due to the use of computers and technology. Although computers have so many benefits they are making students unable to obtain information because it is now right at their fingertips.
I think that people are too dependent on computers. I think this because of personal experiences of people not knowing basic math problems and easy historical facts. As well as, people being addicted to their phones so badly that they are on them while driving. It is better to be around people in person rather than behind a screen. This is why I think that people are too dependent on computers.
Do you think that you are addicted to computers? Why?
Why do you think people become addicted?

I think some people are addicted to computers but I think more people are addicted to their phones than they are with computers. I think phones and computers can be so addicting because you can get so much information so easily. Also some apps are addicting, like tik tok, tik tok has something about it that makes you be able to watch for hours.
I agree that it is not neccessarily computers as much as phones but people tend to get adddicted to both. I agree that it is not always the device itself as much as the apps and sites on the technology that get very addicting to some.
