We have become too dependent on computers for answers, personal interactions, and we spend way too much time on them. If we used the computers for learning and as a tool this issue wouldn't be as big.

The sad truth is that people use this great tool for an easy way to get out of face to face Interactions with other people.

As soon as they get home from school, they head straight for the computer.We save too much Important Information on them as well. If the computer crashes, we will no longer have all of that information. And, we can't learn cursive writing anymore. When kids grow up, they're going to have jobs and will need to sign for things.

They aren't going to be able to sign for those things because they won't know their signature! Even though computers are very useful for ALL places around the world, we still shouldn't be so dependent on them. Doing anything but using our computers or cell phones to do everything instead of just trying it ourselves.So I clearly stated yes we depend on computers too much and I think we need to take a break from them every once in a while. People might think we are not overly dependent on computers but we are. We use computers a lot of times to download games, downloading APS, and also for lots of other things like using Backbone. When the computer or the internet go down, people freak out which shows we are entirely too dependent because we can't do anything without computers.

For example if we want to pay we will pay from the net, if we want to buy we will buy from net. Humans are getting lazy because of this computer.Computers are to be used in good way, but some children used in wrong way. Posted 0 Death Of Culture We have become so connected that everyone is "in the know. " There is less independence as people become more similar.

They go to work, come home, watch television/Sit at a computer/Cell Phone, sleep, and repeat. I was shopping online for fits to get people and didn't know what they were actually interested in since that's their daily routine.

Computers take over kids' everyday lives.Kids are always playing games that offer no educational benefits.

They're on computers at school, and as soon as they get home from school, they head straight for the computer. Learning on the computer at school keeps children from writing out assignments. Cursive skills are lacking as a result. When kids grow up, they're going to have Jobs and will need to sign for things.

We seem unable to function without a computer. We save too much important information on them as well taxes, bank statements, etc. If the computer crashes, we no longer have all of that information. If we want to pay a bill, we put our bank information out there.

If we want to buy we will buy something, we do it online and hand out our credit or debit card information.In the end, I think humans have gotten lazy by depending on their computers and not thinking things through by themselves. Posted by: Anonymous 0 1 have to agree. I actually mean to say that computers are damaging our health in a variety of ways, and if not stopped all of mankind will die. The no answers say that they arena a bad thing when they have a point, they aren't. It is the way in which we use them that affects us.

Think about it. LOL= you ought look out Posted by: Anonymous 0 Not dependent.... Addicted little Kids Have you seen the kids these days?The majority of children in the US play about 6 hours a day on the OXBOW on weekdays, 12 hours on weekends.

How do I know this? I have interviewed the parents of over 47 schools, and the average technology usage every day for each child is 5 hours. That's outrageous. Kids really need to shape up. Posted by: Anonymous 0 We are tech things to keep them entertained.

Kids don't know how to have old fashioned fun anymore. Most people's daily routine is come home, watch TV/play oxbow/laptop until inner, then repeat after dinner.

We have limitation. Humans like us have limitations and we need support from other aspects. If you use technology in a smart way, then there is no harm about it. But you use it in a wrong way, well, it's not good for you and people around you.

0 We are too dependent on computers because while they are definitely helpful, we move closer and closer to a life dominated by these machines. While computers can be very helpful in society and allow us to actually move further forward and at a faster pace than we would without them, we will eventually be in a place where they have taken too much control.As a freelance writer, I work from home and my laptop is my workstation. While I enjoy computers and they have added value to life and made more available for everyone, society must find a balance before we push the issue too far. Posted by: Tomato Too much of our lifestyle revolves around computers. I don't know if we'll always have computers but I'm assuming we will not.

This might happen In the case where computers or all electricity becomes extinct because we were much too dependent on its source. Everyday life teeters on the fact that we live by these things. Yak was a perfect example. If this lifestyle were to end many of us would be in a lot of danger.

Don't build your life around computers assuming they're forever. They may indeed be temporary. Posted by: Anonymous 0 Yes, we are too dependent on computers, they are ruling everything we do If denuded, our computers crash, what happens then? I'm young, less than 13 years old, and I can't cook to save my life. If his time, my grandfather ran away from home and survived my brother, he couldn't do that, he couldn't live. We've all become weak and dumb, can't talk, write or imagine.

Posted by: Anonymous 0 E-Bombs verses technology 200 years. That is how far back a single E-Bomb could take a city back. That is when the average life expectancy was around 40 years old, and when the average income was only $3,000 a year. This was also the same time period when napoleon was lulling France and attempting to conquer the world. Now, this all could be less devastating if we were taught to be more independent and creative instead of Just going to our phones and computers for a quick answer.

Posted by: Anonymous 0 In every school. Every school in American now has their own computers in almost every room.These computers could be personal computers that are brought from home, or computers that the school has for students to borrow during the day. The number of personal computers and school computers is growing greatly each and every day. Posted by: 0 Murphy's Law Prevails If something can go wrong then it will go wrong. There is another sunspot or a pending disaster coming again, earthquakes, that take out electronics.

We are insecure because information can be gleamed about all our lives, a risk to security. We cannot get gas or food without the computers, that's dangerous.History has proven that evolution of mankind has been reset a few times with a major disaster. Scientists and Politicians only care about the votes they get and to play down reality of dangers. Everybody who prepares for the worse is considered a quack or with paranoia. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of ere.

0 Yes, because many everyday skills have been lost due to the use of computers and other technology. I have had this argument many times with people. Because of computers and smart phones, too many people can't think for themselves.They can't decide what restaurant they want to go to without pulling up a search engine.

They can't add 2 + 2 because they always have their handy computer calculator to do the work for them. They can't manage their own time, because their computer schedule is what keeps them in order. There are more examples, and I could go on, but I think these few suffice. Posted by: Maria 0 AAA Society is too dependent Society revolves around the flashing screen of computers and other information sources such as smart phones and tablets.

It is unfathomable to go a day without accessing the Internet.People used to do Just fine without the constant distraction of computers. Yes computers are essential to our daily lives, but that doesn't mean that we don't overuse them. Posted by: Anonymous Just take for instance, when you are unsure about something, what do we do? Immediately, Google it! So tell me, aren't we too dependent on computers? Where have all the books and other reliable sources gone?! Yes I know I am using technology o even upload this view point but don't you think that we underestimating the possible outcomes that can cause harm to Maori than ONE soul?Posted by: Researcher Like Irreproachable 0 We will get too fat.

We could eventually come to a hazardous state of being fat and lazy gamers, and if we become that fat, we won't be able to walk or exercise. Plus if we become too fat we will have to go in a wheelchair and sometimes even go into hospital if we don't do something. Posted by: Anonymous 0 The time spent on computers is a threat to human bodies. Research from the American Heart Association shows teens spend an average of 20 hours a week in Ron of a computer or TV.Imagine how many hours if it were an adult. People usually use the computer to make friends, start fights and to find information on how to build, destroy and educate.

This can prevent us from getting fresh air outside and exercise, and instead we are lazy. Being on the computer too much is a threat to human bodies also. It can have an effect on eyes, brain molecules and more. Computer users suffer from diseases and human health risks.
