We can say that after 10 to 20 years later computers are much smarter than humans alive today. As of present day, our next generation will have difficulty to stay away from the computers. As a society now, we have become too dependent for artificial intelligence, in education, entertainment, and personal interaction. Which overpower our will ignore the computer. As a result, we use computer systematic tools for our work benefits, professor use computer for study to make it interesting and for that student who is far away from them, the computer for an easy way to get out of face-to-face interactions with family, and social media inhibits social interactions. As Nicholas Carr write in The Guardian that “When Google announced, in 2010, that it had built a Prius that could drive itself through traffic – an amazing achievement, to be sure – the company also predicted that fully autonomous vehicles would be on sale by the end of the decade.
That’s not going to happen. Lost in the hype about robotic cars has been the fact that human drivers continue to play an essential role in their operation. Robots still get flummoxed by all sorts of odd and unexpected events – detours, leaf-covered roads, gesturing traffic police, wind-blown bits of debris – that human drivers interpret and respond to with remarkable aplomb. Even if engineers succeed in making a robotic vehicle able to handle 99% of driving situations, robotics experts note, that’s still a very long way from full autonomy.” When google announce this in that year, we were start imaging about driving cars without drives. We thought how it possible, but now it seems possible we have cars like that which is stop in some distance without any accident with automatic break system which is one type of computer. As Wikieducator, Computer technology has had a deep impact on the education sector. Thank to computers, imparting education has become easier and much more interesting than before. Computer teaching play a key role in the modern education system.
Students find it easier to refer to the internet than searching for information in fat books. By karehka Ramey, many universities and colleges have added online education on their curriculum and they enroll students from all parts of the world. This has opened boundaries to so many students, who have got the opportunity to study advanced courses which are not provided in their universities or colleges. Online education has revolutionized the education industry. Computer has made the dream of distance learning, a reality. Education not limited to classrooms. So, if student and professor are not in the same premises, they can very well have communicated with one another. As said by Charlie, Computers isn’t limited to the areas where we most expect to find it such as business and industry. It’s also being widely used in entertainment and arts world.
All our traditional entertainment utilities like movies, sports, games, etc. In this time people use computers to watch movie online. Which is very easy way to watch movie without going in multiplex and paying a price. We can see movie anytime we want to, so we do not have to wait for show time. We watch sports on computer, some channels stream live sports game on their website so people who is not at home can see easily on computer without missing a bit. Computer games are very famous in this decade, people are like to play games on computer which is also called video games. Peopel find very relaxing for them to play games on computer. They feel stress free when they play games. But when it comes to children they spend all time to play games on computers. As Ferguson, C., The potential influence of violent video games on youth violence remains an issue of concern for psychologists, policymakers and the public. Although several prospective studies of video game violence effects have been conducted, none have employed well validated measures of youth violence, nor considered video game violence effects in context with other influences on youth violence such as family environment, peer delinquency, and depressive symptoms.
Therefore, it is not good for their health. Video game, movie, and sports are use as stress remover not as part of life. But people use them as weapon to avoid any conversation with their parents or friends they find this way to that. Computer use for entertainment is good but not for avoid interaction with parents. People use computer for social media like Facebook(FB), E-mail and many other media. As Sharon Gaudin survey finds 77% of FB users use the networking sites while on the job. Only a few months after one study found that Facebook users tend to get lower grades in college, another study has found that the social networking site might not be earning good grades in the workplace as well. Companies that allow users to access Facebook in the workplace lose an average of 1.5% in total employee productivity, according to a new report from Nucleus Research, an IT research company.
The survey of 237 employees also showed that 77% of workers who have a Facebook account use it during work hours. And ‘some’ employees use the social networking site as much as two hours a day at work, the study found. Nucleus Research did not say how many workers fit into that category but did note that one in 33 workers surveyed only used Facebook at work. E-mail, in full electronic mail, messages transmitted and received by digital computers through a network. An e-mail system allows computer users on a network to send text, graphics, and sometimes sounds and animated images to other users. Network users typically have an electronic mailbox that receives, stores, and manages their correspondence. Recipients can elect to view, print, save, edit, answer, forward, or otherwise react to communications. Many e-mail systems have advanced features that alert users to incoming messages or permit them to employ special privacy features. E-mail is also available on major public online and bulletin board systems, many of which maintain free or low-cost global communication networks. According to Explorer lifestyle, Social networking sites like Facebook, E-mail, Twitter etc. allow people to meet new people. Then they can choose peoples who have similar interests and create relationship.
Virtual relationship is not always being a good relationship. Many people make mistakes that they give more priority to virtual relationship than real world relationship. They don’t know that social media is not so important in actual relationship. The main aim of social media is to enhance people’s social relationships, ironically though, it made people socially awkward, now people prefer chatting through online media than talking face to face in real world. Research of Psychosocial Research, “E-mail is still the most prevalent form of Computer Mediated Communication within organizations. And the increasing use of mobile devices in business has given the experience of e-mail a new dimension. Therefore, in the present paper we focus predominantly on the impact of e-mail, provided by personal computers as well as smart mobile devices, on organizational life. There is a still increasing number of studies on the social psychological aspects of computer-mediated communication, but to date the impact of mobile e-mail on organizational life has been neglected.”
According to the University of Texas at Dallas, the first step to stopping computer addiction is to determine what it is that makes the use of the computer so desirable. Is there any problem with people or any other thing which make us computer addiction? We must understand that if we addicted about computers than our next generation will be the same. They will be much more dependent than us. As if now we give our kids mobile phone for their entertainment which is good for some time, but if they find that it is good way to stay away from the personal interaction. They start doing to avoid us and that make them too dependent on computer and other smart gadgets. There are very little steps to stay away from the computers which is help you in a long time, but it works best for us. We can set time limit for computer usage. Our family member can set our computer usage. We can set alarm clock or timer for the using time. It is very hard to stay away from the computer in this generation. We can watch movie with family, play games with our friends and watch matches with people we love.
We can use cellphone or face to face meeting rather than talk to via social networking sites. Which is give personal interaction and you can easily stay away from the computer. We can do this very small step to stay away from the computers. If we do not take any actions now, then in 10 to 20 years computers will be more smart than human race. we cannot do anything after that happens. It is a problem for us. So, we must take that small step to avoid dependents on computer.
