effects of computers in the society
The effects of computers on the world
Abstract
In our societies today, no one could really predict the actual effects of computers, but the changes that have taken place on the people’s daily lives are actually evident. The manner in which people over depend on the computers technology has rapidly increased and has brought several changes on the economic sector, political sector, and the education sector. The computers could possibly isolate from each other. They could also alter the face-to-face communication between people(Misa 52-63). This paper focuses on the discussion about the effects of computers on the world.
Introduction
In the last decades, there has been a very high revolution in communication and computing. All the researches shows that use of the information technology and the technological progress would continue growing at a very high rate. The evidence and support of the increased use and power of technology is the decreasing costs of communications due to increased competition and improved technologies(Yusuf 1-5). These improvements and advances bring about several benefits to the society but at the same time, they bring some major challenges to the society in general. Currently, computer and information technology innovations bring about wide-ranging impacts to different fields in the society. The fields include electronic commerce through the internet where business transactions done through the internet. The computer technology of e-commerce has just been inexistence for a few years but its effects have greatly altered the social environment and economic activities. The e-commerce affects sectors such as finance, retail trade, and communication sector(Eason and Robey 72-77).
A computer is an electronic tool that receives, accepts, and processes information through following a given set of instructions to generate an efficient and accurate outcome. Today’s computers are the work of innovations that started during the Second World
