In the wake of high rate of technology advancement globally, computer technology has been on the forefront which has been considered to be applicable in various aspects of human life in relation to the environment. With the intention of making the work easier and also simplifying complex situations and technical appliances, computer technology has been fully or partially involved in most cases. It is common to find that computer technology is applied in most aspects from the simplest to the sophisticated systems due to the unlimited knowledge in utilizing software programs in systematic computer technology manipulation.Through the process of information or data input the computer is fed with the available information which can be done through keyboard, joystick, buttons or other facilities. Through the previously defined programs in the processing unit, the information is processed with accordance to the desired amount put hence achieving the targeted results.

Despite the fact that the computer can process a lot of information within few microseconds which human being cant, they fully depend on integrated programs which are installed in the central processing unit.In addition to this computer technology has substantially advanced to a level that in combination with the mechanical appliances and machineries, the technology has been implemented globally in performing the physical activities. This has been witnessed in the vast technology that is applied in robots and other industrial operation which does not necessarily require the physical presence of a human being. In the analysis of computer technology, it has been found that there have been considerable effects that it has caused to the society.

In general, the computer technology has affected the society both positively and negatively.Considering the aspect of education in most cases the computer technology has contributed indirectly or directly to education. Education and learning has been facilitated so much by these technologies. Previously before the full discovery and appliance of the computer technology, learning could only be done face to face in school and institutions which would involve a lot of work from the reference required especially in research of information.

Through the computer technology learning has been simplified in such a way that distance learning has also been enhanced.Through the internet the student and the lecture or the teacher can easily exchange information within a very short duration of time regardless of the distance between them. This has been a tremendous improvement in education and it has been adopted in almost all places in the world. The same strategy has also been implemented in classrooms whereby the student takes the instructions from their teacher directly from the computers and they can easily do any form of correspondence which is required. It also simplifies the work load of the lecturer or the teacher who has to pass most of his or her intended relevant notes to the student easily.With the easy manipulation of the PC computers the student can utilize the technology and gather and store a lot of notes for reference easily and save a lot of time as opposed to the copying of notes in their books through writing.

Although this approach has been rapidly supported, the physical presence of the teacher in classroom has always been considered of more important which facilitates the student-teacher relationship. Student’s level of understanding will increase when taught directly by the teacher face to face, and they get the “whole class instructions” (Glass, et al 21).The student can be free to get any necessary clarification from the teacher through communication unlike following the instruction in the computer. Therefore although the computer technology has brought same advancement in education, it has also affected the society negatively. Through the computer technology the source of information and the referencing has been made easy. This means that a lot of information and reference materials are readily available on request through the internet also the capability of the computer to store a lot of information in micro chips memory as compared to the book writing.

In the area of research the computer technology has fully simplified the research methods which are beneficial both to the students and the society at large. It’s not only the point of availability of materials but also on the efficiency through time saving and reduction of headache while searching. Irrespective of the fact that computer technology has promoted greatly the education, it has also been witnessed to the most readily available source of corrupted materials and unconstructive one which have a bad influence to the society. Examples are the pornographic materials, undesirable contents which have bad impact to the society.Sometimes Adults might use the “internet to harm children” (Kubinski, Diane 17). An attempt to rescue the society from the damage through the internet from the undesirable information has been done especially when the children are involved.

Although not fully achieved, moral values have been applied in the some cases in order for the internet to be used for the right purpose. Accuracy and efficiency has been attributed to the success of computer technology in the productivity sector. Most industries and organizations have fully adopted the computer technology in processing the vital information which has greatly improved the process.Cicerone, Ralph stated that, “Computers and the Internet are fueling our strong and dynamic economy” (62). Previously a lot of time and manpower was used in processing some section of information in an organization which would be too slow especially with the level of sensitivity of the information through the introduction of the computer technology, manpower is required to process a lot of information within a short period which has really been effective in various sectors of the organization.The computer technology has advanced even to a level of solving complex problems which can otherwise not be solved by physical approach of human beings.

Through automation computers are also capable of integrating and processing information through sensors without any interference of human. In general most services in organization have successfully been offered timely without delays with have positively contributed to the economic growth in the organization.Considering the functions performed by the computer, it’s on the other hand realized that in major organizations, the replacement of human in performing their jobs has taken place in such that through the use of computer technology, one person can do a job which should otherwise have been done by many people. In some cases computer robots can even replace fully even the physical job done by human being hence reduction of employment vacancies. From this perspective although the computer technology has been seen to contribute a lot to the society still some negative effects can be noted here.

This derives a conclusion that the technology is not considered to be hundred percent effective in solving societies problem fully. Computer technology has in actual sense been adopted in all aspect in our lives including our homes whereby it has turned to be a necessity in our houses. Through the internet connection a lot of activities, communication and documentation can be done at home without much difficulty. Research, data and crucial information required can quickly be accessed regardless of the location.

This has led to children and even adults to utilize the computer technology as a form of entertainment and eliminating boredom through computer games which are readily available. This has been found to be very common especially on the side of boys who mostly use “Computers to play games as compares to the girls” (Huang, et al 44). In some cases they have received full support from their parents who might prefer them to stay indoor other than spending time away from them. Computer games can be “both constructive and harmful to the children” (Ed.

Mclanahan, Sra, et al 3).Due to their delicate age and green mind they can easily be carried away by these games and can end up spending more time thinking about the game other than constructive ideas. This has also something to do with the child’s academic life. Education is very important to the young children when growing which plays a big role in shaping their brain. During this crucial stage of development, a child might be greatly affect by spending a lot of time in computer games leading to unhealthy development especially due to minimal or no movement while using computers and this leads to less physical activities.
