With increasing use of personal computer, the people’s lives have changed either in positive and negative way. However, the fact is that, recently, personal computer affects people more and more negatively and it sometimes even causes people to disconnect with the world. Too much use of personal computer truly makes some inconvenience to the human life in aspects of daily life and social communication.

For the most common condition, too much use of personal computer causes people to stay at particular place for an extremely long time, maybe on table or on bed. As a result, people are not supposed to get enough exercise; even they get no exercise sometimes. At the same time, too much use of personal computer causes people to become lazy. They are able to get many kinds of entertainment on computer, such as listening to music, watching movies, playing games and chatting with someone interesting. Consequently, they say goodbye to some entertainment which need them move, because they can easily do it on computer. Also, they are less possible going outside. They don’t go to cinema anymore, since they can watch it on computer as long as you pay for it. They don’t have to find some restaurants on street, since they can buy food online and the seller would directly send it to your home. Therefore, the only thing they do is sitting in front of the computer and clicking the mouse, and then they would get what they want.

Besides that, too much use of personal computer affects people scores. If people spend too much time on computer, they do not have enough time to work on their homework. Some homework is still paper based in university. People would probably miss it if they only care about their computer. Then, people would get low scores on their courses and induce the low GPA. By the way, they may also forget something important, like housework. The houses are really dirty if people use too much computer.

The last but not the least, too much use of computer causes people to lose their social communication. Talking to friends by computer is a lot different from talking face to face. People would feel unacquainted when they only get involved with someone by computer and without seeing each other for several months. Also, people usually want to talk to some guys far in distance, maybe in different countries, and less likely to meet some one in same place. As a result, they would have fewer friends in real world which causes people to involve with other problems, such as loneliness.

As I mentioned, too much use of personal computer exactly makes inconvenience in daily life and social communication. Therefore, try to avoid spending too much time on computer and put more effort on courses.

  1. Yup, I agree. Actually, we really need to make more chances to talk to in person instead of talking to on Facebook or Twitter things. Personally, I agree with the diagnostic paper statement that those technologies make people feel lonelier than ever. Nice job, Jianghang :D
