Do people depend too much on computers?

Computers were invented years ago ,and became highly used by people. Computers have become part of everyone's life, from school to work. As computers keep becoming a part of our lives, they are getting more addictive. People couldn’t imagine their lives without computers anymore.

 Studies have shown that the rate of illiteracy in kids are increasing, because kids are learning off there computer. It’s shown teens will now use the internet instead of independently thinking and problem solving. Scientist have also shown it limits your creativity, because teens will now look to copy. Depending too much on computers won’t only affect teens and adults. It will affect younger kids learning how to spell, as spell check on the computer has done it for them. 

  I believe that we depend too much on computers. Scientists have shown that it affects the way people learn and do things. People don’t even shop in stores anymore; it's all online. All learning now is based on the computer in schools. I think it doesn't matter that we depend on computers because it makes life easier.

  • I think that we depend on computers a lot. They make a lot of things easier and are very convinent for certain things. However there are negative effects on them. I don't think that it is necessarily a bad thing but it also is not a great thing to be so dependent on them.

  • Personally, I don't think I'm dependent on computers, but maybe that answer is different for others. I don't think it's wrong to use technology, but I also don't think it's right to just sit on a computer all day. I think school would be more of a chore because we'd have to write out essays and etc. which takes more time. 

  • I think that while we do use computers often, it is because we should and not because we are lazy or obsessed. There is so much information and communication outlets online that people should access to gain knowledge of world events among other things.

  • It's good that we have computers if we didn't school, work, etc, would just be increasingly difficult. People complain about how people are addicted to technology when in reality we just use it to make life easier. It's an over-exaggeration saying we depend on them when the whole point in them being made is so we can use them in everyday life correct? We'd be fine without them it would just be harder and no one wants to do that. Not much we can do anyways unless we can take a step backward in technology.

    • I agree because computers do really make our lifes easier.

  • I do think that we depend on computers too much. We use computers for homework, communication, entertainment, etc.. I believe that we should not rely on computers as much and spend more time with family, friends, and go outdoors. Life without computers would probably be boring at first but we are very adaptable.

  • yes I think we are dependent on laptops and maybe we could use them less and yea my life without laptops would be different 

  • I think we depend on them a lot especially during school and the working area but I don't think its as much as a problem. I think it makes us less intellectually smart but I think that it makes school easier. I feel like life without the computer would be some what tougher. 

  • I think we depend on computers to do a lot because technology is advancing and some things you can only do on a computer. In some cases using spell check all the time can become bad but it overall makes peoples life easier. I do think my life would be changed if computers and technology did not work.

    • I agree because without computer we would all be affected.
