dependency on technology 
We are becoming increasingly dependent on computer-based technology. How do 
you think it will change in the future? Is it good for us to rely so much on computers? 
It would be difficult to imagine life without computers. Over recent years in particular, 
their use and potential have grown at an incredible rate and I strongly believe that this 
growth will continue as more innovative ways to use them are developed. Although there 
are definitely some downsides to their use, I do believe the positives outweigh the 
negatives. 
Computers enable us to do a wealth of tasks that would have been unthinkable for previous 
generations. We can bank online, book holidays, do our weekly shopping – the list of labour 
-saving activities is almost endless. Given the speed at which they have evolved and altered 
the way we do things, I am convinced that this evolutionary trend will continue. Take, for 
example, the rise of virtual reality. We can already do amazing things with it, and, as a 
computer-based technology, it is only in its infancy. It has so many practical applications, 
from improving gaming to providing training for doctors or pilots to handle real-life 
situations. As computer processing power increases, so will its potential to enhance 
everything we do.
Despite this, there are dangers in relying quite so heavily on computers. So much of our 
daily lives is controlled by them, that without them, modern-day life as we know it would 
be impossible. Furthermore, computers store all our important data and the risk of hacking 
exposes us to crimes such as fraud. However, I would argue that the technological advances 
made possible by computers have improved our world in so many ways. I believe that most 
people would argue that any negative aspects of computers are outweighed by all the 
benefits they have brought. 
In conclusion, I believe we will probably become more dependent on computers but that 
our lives will improve as the technology improves. While there is a negative side to such a 
dependency, there are many more positives that we can focus on.
