Advantages and Disadvantages Computer that Connected to the Internet

Nowadays, technology is developing in the world. Our life is influenced by the technology, and we cannot imagine our life without them. One of the technologies is a computer that connected to the internet. Today, many companies use it to make their work easily. 

Long time ago, we know that everyone did not use computer that connected to the internet because computer has not created. Everybody used typewriter to type something. Now, it becomes very popular, and it is a part of our life. Can you imagine if anybody in company uses typewriter to make a report? Perhaps, it is possible, but we must think twice if we still use it until now. I am sure that the computer that connected to the internet is not created to make a bad thing, but to help people in all fields of work and make it easy.

As we know, computer that connected to the internet has many advantages. A big advantage is to facilitate our job. With computer that connected to internet, businesses can sell their products to people far from where they are. Computer can be used to help created and test new product ( Pohnpei as a college teacher, March 26, 2010). That reason is right. With a computer that connected to the internet, someone will be easily to sell their products.  This method is very efficient because it has several benefits. The first is the seller does not need to rent the place. Second, both of seller and the buyer does not waste their time because we just turn on the computer and log in to the online shopping sites what we want. Last, it does not waste the energy. We just sit in front of the computer and choose what we want to buy.

In addition, one advantage is their time saving nature.  It is much quicker to type a letter than to write one with a pen.  The connection to the internet is of great use.  The ability to research something or ask questions in real time is amazing.  The amount of data that can be stored, manipulated, and retrieved is phenominal.  Using the computer save natural resources by limiting our need of paper and pencils ( Ako as a middle school teacher, March 26,2010). It is absolutely right. With the computers, we do not need to save the data on a paper. We can save our data in the computer. Certainly, it is more safety because if we save or write the data on a piece of paper, the paper can be lost.

On the other hand, Information once entered in computer system can be easily accessed by the same person or other persons at different times for different persons. This reduces the work load of capturing same information multiple times for different purposes. It also makes it possible for different person to work with same information, avoiding the possibility of different persons using different versions of the same information (Krishna-agrawala as a college teacher, March 26, 2010). Based on what Krishna-agrawala said about computer, I am very agree. Computer system that connected to the internet can share some data to the other person. So that, it means we can work and help each other.

The other advantages is price comparison as a student (April 11, 2010) said, “It helps you to organize your data and information in a better way”. Based on what I saw in our real life, I could give you one example about the function of the computer that connected to the internet. In school activity, processing student mark, student attendance, and school payment can be done with a computer. It makes easy for teacher and school employees. For instance, if the teacher and school employees do not know about the processing student mark, they can use internet to searching some examples.  As a result, computer that connected to the internet is very useful in our job.

Not only advantages, computer also has some disadvantages. Computers have put millions of people out of work. For example, they have ravaged the book selling business. Book store are closing all across the country because it is so much more convenient to buy books online and so much easier to find the books you want (William Delaney, January 11, 2013). The other advantages from computer that connected to internet are scams, fraud, people not going out as much, we do not yet know the effects of computers and pregnancy or the emissions that computers make, bad posture from sitting too long at a desk, repetitive strain injuries and the fact that most organizations expect everyone to own a computer (college teacher, December 26, 2012). It is absolutely true. Computer that connected to the Internet is causing a lot of harm. One of them is the frequent occurrence of fraud when we buy something in online shop. After we transfer money to pay that thing, but that thing did not come. In addition, too much time in front of monitor may adversely affect your eyesight ( Sardar Khan). As we know, in front of the computer in such a long time will give some effect. I ever did something with using computer, after several hours, I got headache. Headache is also the biggest complaint for computer user. I think it occurs because the brain continues to work plus the radiation from the screen. If we do not realize, it will cause a headache.

In conclusion, I stand for the advantages of computer that connected to the internet. Although, there are some disadvantages of computer that connected to the internet, but I am sure computer and internet created some problem in our life. I believe computer that connected to the internet has more advantages than disadvantages. As computer users should be able to capitalize computer, do not only look at the negative effect of the computer, but we also need to know what the positive effect in our life.
