Computers and IT


Lets talk about the world of technology. In a day how many hours does a person spend on the computer or his laptop? It is amazing to know sometimes more than even seven hours in a day. Now a days people who do not have knowledge of computers or are not computer savvy are kind of left behind. No matter whatever the persons age, those without internet consider themselves completely lost. In the world of Facebook, Twitter and My Space, it is imminent to be on one of those networking sites to be able to connect with people. One hears about these websites almost all the time and someone not on these are considered not so social. We are so dependent on computers right from creating our shopping lists, to googling the reviews on one of our favorite products that might be on our shopping lists. Most of the stuff can be purchased online by just the click of a button.

In fact even my course involves a lot of research, for which I spend a lot of time being online, definitely more than a few hours everyday.

It often crosses my mind, so in today's world are we puppets of Information technology? It almost seems like for anything and everything we use the internet and computers....
