affected by IT. Twenty years ago, few people had access to a computer while today
most people use them at work, home or school and use of e-mail and the Internet is
an everyday event.
These developments have brought many benefits to our lives. E-mail makes
communication much easier and more immediate. This has numerous benefits for
business, commerce, and education. The World Wide Web means that information
on every conceivable subject is now available to us. Clearly, for many people this
has made life much easier and more convenient.
However, not all the effects of the new technology have been beneficial. Many
people feel that the widespread use of e-mail is destroying traditional forms of
communication such as letter writing, telephone and face-to-face conversation. In
addition, the huge size of the Web means it is almost impossible to control and
regulate. This has led to many concerns regarding children accessing unsuitable
websites.
In conclusion, developments in IT have brought many benefits, yet I believe
developments relating to new technology in the future are likely to produce many
negative effects that will need to be addressed very carefully.
