With the GOOD comes the BAD
Journal Entry Question #1

An example of modern-day communication technology that has its share of both positive and negative sides are computers. It is apparent that computers pose as a common necessity to us in our modern-day society. The technology of computers create positive and negative aspects as it is of much assistance to us everyday. It is very useful because of its selection of computer software made available to us. These computer technologies often help us with work-related scenarios as well as homework from school. In addition, Internet services provided through computers allow access to various resources and search engines for reference. Moreover, the Internet consists of many web sites and such that have different purposes. For example, online encyclopedias contain valuable information, which are perfect for homework use. Furthermore, chatrooms, blogs, and even shopping online are other services that are available but are more for leisure purposes. Not only do computers and its technology assist us in work or school but it also acts as a form of communication. With its technology developed to this day, we are able to communicate to others all over the world through its Internet capabilities with the forms of online chatrooms, webcams, emails and such. The online communication services allow one person to basically talk to as many people as they want at once as opposed to the phone where one can talk to one other person only. There are so many features that a computer has, the list could basically go on. Online banking, video sharing and picture sharing, one could go on about the multiple functions of a computer. Although the technology of computers are composed of many good attributes, there is indeed a bad side of computers that should be considered such as the privacy and safety concerns as well as the health concerns of spending too much time on the computer. Spending too much time on the computer can pose some health concerns such as eye strain and discomfort or pain from using the computer too long. Computer viruses are also a negative attribute of computers because it potentially harms a person’s computer system. With that said, computers are one piece of technology equipment that proves to have its share of both a positive and negative side.
