Computers are useful machines. They can help people a lot in their daily lives. For example, they can help people save much time to do much work, and they can help people to work out many problems they can’t do easily. Our country asks everyone to learn to use computers before the twenty-first century, except the old people.
Today more and more families own computers. Parents buy computers for their children. They hope computers can help their children improve(提高) their studies in school. Yet many of their children use computers to play games, to watch video(录像) or to sing so that computers can not help children to study but make them fall behind. So computers are locked(被锁) in boxes by parents.
In some other countries, even some scientists also hate computers. They say computers let millions of people lose their jobs or bring them a lot of trouble. Will computers really bring trouble to people or can they bring people happiness?
