Composition about technology
I relieve that computers have made the World a better place. They havehelped a lot of people in their work, as for example, computers the architestects, with programmes like the AutoCAD and also in the other works. But all isn’t good, the computers have made a lot of problems, for example, the children of today are big part of his time life in computer games of internet and this is prejudiced for their relation ships them with others children. They have also made new criminals that they are the hackers, people to into in computer for pirate the system and to cause very serious problems. Well, it has made a world too dependent on computers and this is a problem for the society.
In conclusion, the computers have helped the world but also have damaged our health.
