    Hi.My exam is in less than 48hrs.I came across a qetiuson, while doing my practice section, which was a bit confusing for me. Therefore I made an attempt to write it up. It is however not in the list of the practice task, though quit similar to the qetiuson on technology. I was wondering if you could help read through and give your assessment.Thank you.Question- some people believe that computers are more a hindrance than help in today’s world. Others feel that they are such indispensable tools that they would not to live or work without them.•In what ways are computers a hindrance?•What is your opinion?AnswerIt is a fact that computer usage has become an integral part of our existence. From its use in business transactions to transportation system and even health care delivery, the increasing need for this modern technology is evident. While there are enormous merits associated with its use, there are also some drawbacks that have accompanied the increasing frequency with which it is used.A major area of concern is how many people may end up unemployed as more jobs that were traditionally occupied by human beings are now being operated by the aid of computers. If other job opportunities are not created, then it will be inevitable for more and more people to be out of employment as the job that would have be done by about five people will be taken over by just one computer system. Similarly, the affection and empathy that come with services provided by humans will soon be lost because computers can only be programmed to perform functions, they naturally cannot express emotions. These are examples that show hindrances associated with this technology.However, it is obvious that the place of computer system in this modern world cannot be over emphasized. An example to illustrate what the present world will look like without this technology is taking a trip to the bank during a major network breakdown. The experience of such incidence can only leave us to imagine how our society will struggle to function effectively without the computer.To conclude, as there are two sides to most things in life: the good and the bad, computer is not an exception. It is only important to strike a balance in its usage, so that we do not become over dependent on it.
