Essay 2-06; Our Computer Society

Do you use computers? I think everyone is “Yes, of course”. We are living with computers the present. We use them in their lives, classes, job and so on. We have the present generation that we must use them. These computers have many functions. One of them is Internet. I tell you about Internet.

We can exploit Internet, watch websites, and research much information. First, we sent E-mail and do databases by using Internet. We can communicate with many people of the world by sending E-mail. We can exchange them soon. Then, we can accumulate and put in order much information in computers with using databases. Second, we watch and enjoy websites. There are pages which we can listen to music and watch animation, and make music, animation, pictures, blogs and so on. We can have public or private pages of ourselves. Third, we research much information to learn, discover new things. When we put keywords which we want to know, we can read a page which we want to watch at once. If we put a keyword, the related pages are indicated on a computer. Many pages are and we must choose a page which I like by ourselves. These are from unique to great skill.

Purposes that we use Internet are to deepen ourselves knowledge of knowing and not knowing, and to read and make pages in which we are interested. The knowledge that you know are spread more and the one that you don’t know can learn easy to understand. We can research easy to understand page for you if we have difficult contents in much information. In short, we are helped much information because we can research them rapidly. We can read and watch these only inputting a keyword. It‘s very easy.

I tell you about good and bad points by using Internet. First, good points are to be able to choose and research information at any time and to communicate with not only internal but also many people who live abroad. Then, bad points are to be included the false information in many websites and have fear of being implicated in a crime. We must distinguish real information from false information. If not so, it become that we know wrong one. But it’s difficult for us to distinguish these.

My goal using computers are to be able to use a function of computer and research information agreeing to ourselves or other person’s conditions. Then, I want to make blog like myself using Internet. Also, I want to research any real information which it suit on condition. We are expected getting information as fast as possible we can in our society. So, we research soon and must get these results.

We can live comfortably using computers. These have good and bad points and we must find much real formation from the whole one. It’s difficult to distinguish them. Then information network spread on all over the world and we can communicate with people of other countries easily. If computer virus is sent on your computer and open the E-mail, your computer may break. In short, we must be careful computer by ourselves though it is very convenient to use computer. We must use it thinking both points. We use it effectively and should useful in ourselves lives. Much information of computer are full our lives.
