    Chapiter I

    Computer:
    … a good friend?
    This is how some people
    answered when questioned about
    the use of computers in their
    lives.
    I have a self-driving car equipped
    with GPS navigation and an
    automated autopilot system. Most
    of the time, the computer system
    drives and I check my emails.
    As a lecturer, I use a large
    touchscreen monitor. It’s an
    interesting interactive whiteboard
    that eases my lectures.
    As a disabled person who has sight
    problems but working with
    computers, I use an assistive
    technology called screen reader to
    help with onscreen texts, menus
    and icons.
    As a champion of video games, I
    bought a head-mounted display
    device that helps me enjoy 3D
    video games.
    I bought an iphone 14 pro for
    uploading new videos on my tiktok
    accounts. I work as a social media
    influencer for my mom’s business.
    Our school is equipped with a good
    wireless network. I can get
    connected with my e-devices
    everywhere in the campus.

    • COMPUTER:… AN
    ENEMY?
    Our world has developped a serious
    technological dependence. My
    father couldn’t withdraw his pay
    from the nearest ATM because the
    network had a problem.
    Computers produce too many e-
    wastes like broken chargers,
    microchips, cables that are not
    biodegradable and difficult to be
    reused.
    Young people suffer from computer
    addiction causing serious physical
    and mental health problems.
    Cybercrime is a crime committed
    with the use of e-devices to steal
    someone’s personal identity and
    personal data for evil uses.
    Cyberbullying is the use of digital
    technologies in order to harass a
    person by sending, posting or
    sharing harmful contents.
    The four As of Internet destroy
    youth. The internet is accessible,
    affordable, anonymous and
    addictive.
