Computers

By: Patrick

What are computers? A computer is a mechanic technology where you can do lots of things with it and you can use it as a useful tool.

For the use of computers you need internet so you can go on websites. You can play games on it and that makes you think of  strategies to win the game. The computer is useful for facts because if you need to find facts for school work or for a project you can research on different websites and get different information and facts you may need.  It exercises your fingers  in surfing for information. It  saves paper and pencil for you because your work is saved in the cloud.  Moreso, you don’t need to buy books and stationery to do your inquiry.

More positive things about about computer is that you can shop online instead of going outside in the real world and huggling with people in the shops. You can communicate with other people through email, twitter, social media and facebook. It can increase your reading and writing skills because you can read facts and information on websites and type on microsoft, presentation and google docs. You can research places like Auckland and there are categories like maps or GPS and then you know where you are going. It’s mobile  and use worldwide so you know what’s going on in the other side of the world.

Some negative facts are that you can go on bad sites you’re not allowed on without a parent watching you. You need to know cybersafety rules to protect you. You can not copy facts on websites and the common copywrite company will be looking on your work to see if your facts are copied .  You need to write your facts in your own words.  Sometimes  it can freeze a lot and crash and lose memory on what you are doing.  If you go on the computer for too long you might get addicted with it and you will never get off. You need to pay a lot  of electricity if you use it too much.  It makes you eyes hurt if you  work and look at it for too long and do things on it. Sometimes other people can go on your own computers and go on things you're not allowed  on and your parents might think you went on it.

The Computer is great tool and it has many good uses and also bad uses.  I think it is still a good tool and a better technology  to use by all in the future.
