The Indispensability of Computers


I wonder what it would be like to live in a world without computers.

Writers like me would definitely miss it. I mean, who could live without auto-spacing and auto-indentions.

Video game players would definitely wilt without it. Although there are many platforms that could satisfy their lust for virtual blood, speed, and fury, there are games that could only be played to the max when it’s loaded and ran on the PC.

Researchers would certainly slit their wrists without it. Just imagine life without Google. The computer, along with the Internet, has dramatically reduced the time that it takes to come up with materials on a particular subject. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, try researching for a particular topic about William Wallace in your state library’s European Studies Section. I bet that you’d be camping out in the building for a day or two for that undertaking alone.

I could go on and on and on and on about how the computer has revolutionized everything that we do. I’m sure nobody would dare deny that the PC has, in one way or another, changed their lives for the better.
