The day will soon arrive when the first word from a baby’s mouth will be “COMP” instead of a “MOMMY” or a “PAPA”. Yes, it might seem like an exaggeration, but, the computers and technology have invaded our lives for both good and bad. The good part is that they provide you with information which is impossible to obtain by any other means. The internet is an information revolution. The bad part with computers and technology is that the technology is available to everyone (both good and bad) and it is up to the individual to decide whether to use the information constructively or otherwise. ~ What would happen to you when you are waiting for that one word out of your baby’s mouth and the baby says “COMP” instead of either “MOMMY” or “PAPA”? It might really become true since the computer technology has become very much part of every one’s life. There is so much of information that is available on the internet that the users of internet have to decide whether to use this information for good or bad. So, even though it has revolutionized our lives, we should be careful when using the internet and know how to use it well. ~ Computers have revolutionized our lives and invaded them so much that the babies also feel that the computer is one of the family members. Many babies I have seen start playing with the laptop of their parents and learn to say “laptop” before saying “mommy” or “papa”. A computer has assisted us in many ways and even computer can think for us. So, sometimes it makes me wonder if they can think instead of humans, will there be anything left for humans to invent after a few years later. Will the computers take over our lives completely? That could affect us in a good way or a bad way. So, we should be prudent enough to use computers and their artificial intelligence.
