Topic: We are becoming increasingly dependent on computers. They are used in businesses, hospitals, crime detection and even to fly planes. What things will they be used for in future? Is this dependence on computers a good thing or should we be more suspicious of their benefits?

Essayist: Taraneh

Nowadays, computer is an indispensable tool in our lives, and no one can imagine go through a day without it. Besides, human being lives are going to be uncontrollably depending on the computers in future, and I believe it is not good.
On the near future, we will spend the most of our time with computers. For example, we will use it in our offices, businesses, and for socializing with other people or learning and studying. This dependence is not good, because we will lose our face to face connections. In addition, we will be more depressed or more bragging about our fake happiness in social networks for others. If our computers become hack, our personal or governmental files will be expose. Furthermore, it may cause bigger problems and might reveal big secrets.
There is another opponent group for this subject, too. They believe that nothing will happen if we increase our dependency on it. Furthermore, it makes an undemanding and easier life for us. At some points, it is right, but at what price? It will cost us losing our real connections, forgetting to write in a piece of paper or calculating in our mind.
To wrap it up, I should mention that computers bad effects are more than goods in the future, so we should be more suspicious about them and pay more attention to the usage of them. (232 words)
