Task 12. Ksenya Zhilina

The advantages and disadvantages of our ever-increasing use of computer technology

    Technology today adds much advancement to our everyday lives. We drive fast cars, talk on the phone, organizing meetings, and catching up with old friends, even setting an alarm clock. In everyday life, computer technology (> the plural form is better) is used in education, industry, medical procedures, medical research, banking and business etc. Obviously, the technology we use today has made us as a human race really reliant on how it makes our lives easier. Unfortunately, through much advancement in the technology (art) and how it makes our lives easier, it also makes them more difficult. 

   Throughout industries, computerised robots are used to assemble and test products instead of using manual labour. These robots are used to assemble products ten times faster than manual labour. Unfortunately, the biggest disadvanrage (sp) about the use of such advanced technology is that it can lead to unemployment as manual labour is kept to a minimum due to the robots being able to assemble products at a much faster speed than humans.

   In the medical field, the development of digital x-rays have saved a lot of time and has become interlinked with the other hospitals across the world in the research field for especially cancer patients, Alzheimer’s disease patients, doctors LINK verb able to communicate by (prep) ‘Skype’ etc and send information directly to help a patient straight away. But if computers ‘break down’ and documents weren’t saved properly files can be lost, and also if malfunction with ‘robotic machines’ that are operated by surgeons if not working properly, there will be delays in operating procedures, schedules will have longer (art) waiting list.

Computer networking has become one of the most successful ways of sharing information, where all computers are wirelessly linked together by a common network. Not only has that it benefited establishments and organizations, but also individuals, as they also need to share important information every day. But no matter how useful computer networking is, it does not come without drawbacks. For example, it has a massive impact on our private and public lives by using many social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram etc. With these types of sites, many people can be tracked through the location on their phone and this can be very dangerous.

Thus, computer technologies will always be a fast and convenient means of transmitting and exchanging information, helping in heavy or monotonous work, but people should also be aware of its consequences. They should remember that often relying on this system can put them at certain risks that can be the cause of its flaws and other malfunctions.

The highlighted part starting with "Computer networking..." is too close to the resource from which you have taken it and thus is plagiarised
