Computer & Internet

Has there been any device which is more useful and flexible than the
computer? Computer has been considered as one of the most important
inventions of mankind. It is a product of our search for knowledge and created to
help us accomplish our purposes. Computers are constantly redesigned to be
easier to use and meet our needs. It is indeed a very useful tool.

But like any other, computer may pose a danger when misused. Current
threats are dissemination of wrong information, spread of harmful viruses,
invasion of privacy and hacking. And because it makes work easier, people have
been overwhelmingly reliant on it. They have lost the ability to think and depend
on the data that is given without applying a reality check to whatever the device
tells.
