computers: a blessing or a curse?

in the one hand, computers can help people do something case easier and more convenient. for example: computer have permanent internet connection, so you can look up necessary information very quickly. in addition, if you have a computer you can take courses, study, gain knowledge. you can learn new programming language, design basics, or cook delicious. you can conveniently communicate with your distant relatives using a webcam.  

in the other hand, computer can distract you with its huge amount of games and entertainment. if you are going to do something necessary and notice a new computer game, you start to play it and you just can’t get enough.  

to sum up: new technologies are brilliant idea for study or learn something new, but it's also bad due to the sheer amount of entertainment.
