A few decade ago, no one would imagine that he could wear his pyjams and work in his home office. No one would imagine their children prefer to stay at home and not want to go out to the playground to play. It was just after the personal computer was introduced to our households that changes began. Personal computer, at the same time, improve and diminished our quality of life.
The use of personal computer in business has become more and more important nowadays. Many people work at home so that they can arrange their own pattern of life. They can take care of their own children as well as meeting their boss’s mission. It is also some kind of energy conservation as you don’t need to drive to and from your office. However, workers don’t need to deal with others and this leads to isolation and low team morale. Since the commercial internet service became available, people have been able to pay bills through personal banking. The stock market no longer belongs only to those stock-exchange agents;everyone can access it through their personal computers. Many people don’t have to line up in the bank to wait for their services anymore. Nevertheless, personal interaction and jobs opportunities decrease arise many social problems such as isolation and unemployment.
The use of personal computer in education has made great changes.Those who live in remote areas, in bad weather or even in serious conditions can continue their study through distance learning. For example, when “SARS” was a social disaster in 2003 in Hong Kong, students continued their studies through distance learning. People can search a wide range of information through their personal computers. Distance learning, on the contrary, provides little or even no teachers-students interaction. Self-learning at home with the help of CDs and DVDs widen further study, but decrease human interaction. Parents tends to buy learning sofeware for their children instead of teaching their children by their own.
Personal computer also diverges people in their way of entertainment. The games that go in the first place are no longer those traditional ones but on-line games. We have a wide variety of games to choose from; in addition, we also have different levels of competitors to meet our needs. Once again, no real and direct interaction with others creates many social problems. Our children become less and less skillful in interpersonal relationships. Family problems arise. Downloaded movies through our personal computer provide wide variety of choice. We can enjoy our favourite old movies as easily as those new one that just come on market. In contrast, copy-right problems became more and more serious recently that it came to international discussing level.
Technology in personal computer developed in a high speed, and in no doubt that it will continue to improve in a profounded way. Is personal computer a blessing or a curse? It depends on how you take its advantages and diminished its disadvantages.
