This Modern Life
In the picture is a person using his computer all day, whether he is at work, at home, playing or in his sleep. This drawing vividly depicts a common phenomenon that computers nowadays deeply penetrate into our daily life and we can not do without it even for a minute. However, from my perspective, computers play an important but not indispensable role in our modern life.
It is true that computers make our life convenient and provide instant assistance. But it is not a necessity. To start with, excessive addiction to computers may exert a negative impact on our health. Instead of taking exercise in our spare time, we may be intrigued by the various contents on it. Furthermore, indulging in computers may isolate us from the social circles. Since we can chat with the virtual friends via computers, we may not bother to communicate with families or friends around us.
In conclusion, as the product of the high technology, computer really promotes our life. Nevertheless, we should not spend too much time on it at the expense of savoring our good life.
