Today our lives depend very much on the processing and exchange of information.  To help us perform these tasks, we make use of computers which can process and store much information in a short time.

Indeed, many people say we are living in a “computer world.” Our use of computers has increased so much that we now depend on them for just about everything.  Some people say this is not good for us.  They say computers have taken the place of men in too many areas, thus creating unemployment and other social problems.

Despite these problems, I believe computers are necessary because our progress depends on them.  To me, this is the most important influence computers have on man.
