Dependence on computer

Two sides of a coin

As we know, every coin has two sides, the topic has two. In short, computers are a boon as well as a bane. Many industries have been aroused by computers and many have declined, that is why it is a contradictory topic. In my view, this ocean-like topic has many aspects which may not be covered in this blog but let's discuss a few of them

Boon

Talking about the boon, computers are a huge one. A list of few is online shopping, online studies, easy communication to people sitting in different parts of the world and many other such you may be familiar with. But I want to talk about industries like web app development, data science, business analytics, artificial intelligence, automation, and many more which had provided mammoth of jobs thereby reducing unemployment. Online apps like news reading apps and social media had brought the whole world closer to us. The full entertainment industry has benefitted from development in the field of computers. In short, it may be termed as a blessing after knowing these boons.

Bane

Reading mammoth of benefits, now why for some it seems to be a bane!!,let's talk about it briefly. Primarily bank frauds, replacement of human power, less knowledge and awareness about computers, and many more are drawbacks. Online studies have come these days as an essential component of studies but due to non-availability or we must say lack of infrastructure, children have suffered. Hackers misusing information and blackmails in many aspects are also online committed crimes. Secondarily there addiction may be also a bane for some. At last, I would recommend limited use of computers and right usage in the right direction. I must say computers have pros as well as cons depending on one's situation
