The effects of computer science in society The impact and effects of computers in our society today Computers plays an essential role in our the world today. It has made things extremely easier. Most BIG business are based on using computers. Despite the fact that it has made things easier, it also has some disadvantages as well. Secretaries for example, are finding that when they are applying for a job, it is essential to have experience in using computers, in this competing world. Instead of people who have a talent to hand write text manually, such people are being replaced by word processors. Many other people are loosing their jobs and are being replaced by machines, for example many workers in factories are being replaced ...... alternative to the conventional fax machine. Computers really have no environmental damage to our world, in fact they have become more useful, important and sufficient. Businesses are finding that almost everything now can be done more efficiently using computers; Filming video editing, creating special effects on films, listening to music, playing videos, simulations of almost any sport or activity; car racing, aeroplane driving car driving, even playing games. People are now finding that they are spending most of their times using computers; at home in the office, at work even in their free time. These machines have become more powerful and more capable, and this has its drawbacks.  Violent computer games which lead to Death Addiction to online computer games seems to be a growing problem in Asian countries. China and South Korea have both had incidents in which someone died after playing games nonstop for an incredibly long period, sometimes two days or more. A man in China died after a three-day gaming binge at an Internet café (where most online gaming in Asia seems to take place) in 2007 [source: CNN]. These countries have set up special counseling centers to deal with gaming addictions, and China has enacted strict laws limiting Internet café access. Over the long term, computer addiction can cause physical damage. Using a mouse and keyboard for many hours every day can lead to repetitive stress injuries. Back problems are common among people who spent a lot of time sitting at computer desks. Late-night computer sessions cut into much-needed sleep time. Long-term sleep deprivation causes drowsiness, difficulty concentrating, and depression of the immune system. Someone who spends hours at a computer is obviously not getting any meaningful exercise, so computer addiction can indirectly lead to poor overall physical condition and even obesity.

These are all symptoms of a new form of addiction that has surfaced only in recent years: computer addiction. In this article, we'll learn about computer addiction, why it's a problem -- and why some doctors disagree about whether it exists at all. Creating a single definition for computer addiction is difficult because the term actually covers a wide spectrum of addictions. Few people are literally addicted to a computer as a physical object. They become addicted to activities performed on a computer, like instant messaging, viewing Internet pornography, playing video games, checking e-mail and reading news articles. These activities are collectively referred to as Computer Mediated Communication (CMC). Computer addiction focused on Internet use is often called Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD). The various types of computer addicts have different reasons for their habits. Obsessive chat room use or e-mailing might fill a void of loneliness, while excessive viewing of pornography might stem from relationship problems or childhood abuse. The matter is further complicated by the fact that a computer is a useful tool. It's not like heroin, for example -- there are many legitimate reasons why someone might spend hours using a computer. |
