Computers


I , the third speaker of the opposing team , strongly agree with my team-mates that “ computers do more good than harm ’’.

Computers have also play an important role in education . We no longer have to go to the library to do research . A lot of information that we obtain from the library , we can also get from the internet .We can also download lots of useful informations from the internet in just a matter of minutes .

Distance-learning is made possible with the inventions of computers . Students and lecturers can communicate with one another even though they are far apart . When we need to let our lecturers know that we are not going to be able to make it to class , e-mail is very efficient and fast . Work with computers particularly using the internet brings students valuable connections with teachers , other schools of students and a wide network of professionals around the globe .

Self-learning is possible with computers . One can study at the comfort of one’s home .Each child learns what he or she wants to . CD-Roms contains video , animination and music . Most home computers now come with a CD-Rom drive . Popular software includes magazines , encyclopedias , atlases , books and games . Just get some of these software and you can learn it all by yourself . You can learn at your own pace .

Computers have proven to be faster and more accurate than manual labour . This enables us to produce work at a faster rate and with less possibility of mistake . Computers have helped us to do a lot of household chores . For example , our washing machine . It helps us to wash our clothes . This saves us a lot of time and cost in employing maids .

Do you know that nowadays we can have freshly baked breads every morning .We can set our bread-making machine when to start making and baking the bread for the entire family . Just wake up in the morning and a loaf of warm , freshly baked bread awaits you . Isn’t this good ? Yes ,this is possible with computers .

With this , I strongly oppose what the proposing team have mentioned , that is “ computers do more harm than good ’’ . Thank you .
