What is a Computer and what does it do for mankind?

Earlier, when world had not involved into the use of computer this much as today, people used to perform the jobs that now we expect to get performed by our computers. Even some illiterate areas had no idea that what is a computer and what does it do exactly! Hence in various factories, industries, organizations and institutes, people used to hire the employees for various tasks to get performed but now only a few naive workers except technicians and experts are appointed to perform some specific tasks otherwise every job is performed by computers and machines. Certain applications and calculators have been installed to perform various jobs almost in every working environment. Though using computers, we don't even bother to think about its bad impacts on our life as we have been benefited tremendously from its everyday use. It’s true that computers facilitate us a lot; yet we cannot ignore negative influence of computer on human life.

What is a computer and what does it do?

Almost every one of us would be answering this question like "a computer is an electronic machine which can accept  input from us and give us an output; computer is a device which follows the commands of its user etc". Think like never before! Computers though invented by mankind but have got ahead of its inventors. They have been taking the place of an ordinary person in every field of life and ridiculously, we have empowered them to replace us. Thus it’s true that everything has some good as well as some bad impacts.

Computers; undoubtedly have some adverse impacts on our life as well. Few of them have been enlightened below.

Use of robots

As far as world is getting aware of what is computer science and how to build a computer, world is getting involved into technology. It seems like computers are taking away the sources of income from people. Good use of computer; though assist us abundantly, but one should also consider the other side of picture. Not every person in the world is a computer operator or a program developer. People use to perform many other tasks to earn their livelihood.

Predilection for using robotics in various industries and factories to perform several tasks is intensifying day by day. Restaurants also tend to get their jobs performed by robotics i.e. to get orders from customers and to serve the orders. Moreover in several other organizations, people prefer to get their jobs performed by robotics instead of appointing employers.

Over Internet surfing

It seems like world is going to say good bye to books within a few years as Internet surfing has taken the place of book reading. People have forsaken book reading. They prefer watching colorful pictures and motion graphics instead of reading some good material. That's what internet surfing provides us and books don't. We have stopped reading and started watching. People like to chat, comment, post and listen. These bewitching Internet features and uses have brought them far away from reading, writing or performing any other creative task.

It is a well known saying that "everything in excess is poison". Similarly, over internet surfing has leaded us towards its down sides. We are grooming in the field of technology and enhancing our life styles by utilizing the remarkable inventions of science but indeed we have got physically bounded to just type on the keyboard or point out the icons using mouse. Any healthy fresh activity is far away from our lives.

Uses of Social networking sites in our daily life

You are taking regular dose of social poison in the name of getting socially in touch with your so called facebook, twitter friends. Watching their status, knowing about what they are doing, getting excited about their activities on social media websites by giving them likes and comments is not making you happy but getting you stressed up by the feeling that they are more successful and happy in their lives than you. Haters are grown up and hypocrisy takes the place of show off. You instead cut yourself off from your true well wishers who cannot get your time due to immoderate uses of social networking sites in our daily life.

Getting away from nature

Our busy schedules of work have not left any time for us to get ourselves relax in a healthy environment. Moreover, our priorities have leaded us towards baneful activities. We even prefer to watch movies and play games in our free time. Sitting under a tree, smelling fresh flowers, taking in fresh air in morning, walking on the wet grass bare footed is more than anything else. Computers have taken us far away from nature. Now a days, people prefer to surf internet or engaging themselves into such social networking websites that have cut them off from nature.

Destructive for health

Health destruction, as everyone is aware of this disadvantage of computers. But in this sense we are quite unfortunate because we have reached to a stage that we have started depending upon computers completely. Today, not even a single field, institute, organization, company is unaware of "what is a computer". Everyone is utilizing computer in one way or other. Being conscious of negative effects of computer use on human health, we don't have the courage to even think to leave its usage or at least to lessen its utilization.
