Our century is the century of the newest technologies. We can’t imagine our fascinating and challenging world without information technologies. Computers, mobile phones and other electronic gadgets have become part of our daily life giving us fantastic means of communicating, exploring, helping in everything we do. We use them at home and at work. 

The computer is the most important device for us because it is a source of education, communication and entertainment. It can perform many different functions in our daily life. It can store, retrieve and process data, type documents, send e-mails, play games, create presentations and videos and do lots more.

There are different types of computers. They are workstations, desktop computers (desktops), laptop computers (laptops), notebook computers (notebooks), mainframe computers (mainframes), gaming computers, netbooks, microcomputers, minicomputers, personal computers of two main styles (PC and Mac) and others. PC and Mac are fully functional computers but they have a different look, feel and include different operating systems. Tablet computers (tablets) are handheld computers and they use a touch-sensitive screen for typing and navigation, for example, the iPad. Smartphones can do a lot of things as computers, including browsing the Internet.

Using computers we can get all sorts of information from the Internet, debate urgent problems with other Internet users online if we enter the chat room. By the way, the Wikipedia website is the first place to look for many things, phenomena and well-known people.

Many people around the world use the Internet not only for getting information but also for giving information about themselves to make friends. They can do it on websites like MySpace.

Today computers are used by bankers and scientists, telephone operators and police, doctors and engineers, teachers and weather forecasters, students, housewives and schoolchildren, the young and the old, millions and millions of people.

It goes without saying that computers are necessary and useful. They make our job and studies easier, communication more comfortable and rapid, our life more convenient. Modern technologies have changed our lifestyle and the way we live greatly. We can’t imagine our life without mobile phones either.

Using mobile phones we make calls, send texts, take pictures, listen to music, play computer games and lots more. When we travel or are alone we feel safer with mobile phones.

Using modern technologies we can work longer, harder and even carry on working when we get home. We make our lives easier.

But modern technologies have not only advantages but disadvantages as well. Mobile phones and computers can have a bad influence on people’s health, especially children. We often use mobile phones to make calls while we are driving and roads become more dangerous for us.

People can waste their time when they are much addicted to playing different games on a computer or mobile phone. When children play wicked games they become aggressive and stupid.

The old and young forget about sports, theatres, libraries, friends. They become lazy and even can fall ill. In order to make our life longer, healthier and happier we have to do sports, go for walks, eat healthy food, go to the theatres, meet with friends. We mustn’t get too dependent on all these gadgets.

But nevertheless taking into consideration that science is developing rapidly we must start learning today to be ready to live in our computerised, nuclear and supersonic age.
