Are computers bad? #16 (permalink) Mon Feb 16, 2004 8:54 am   Are computers bad?		  
Dear Jay,

Many thanks for you sharing your views with me on this open forum. Could you please explain why you think that computers and new media like the internet are bad? Without computers and the internet the two of us would have never met. Furthermore, Alan could have never published all his unique materials. So, wouldn't you agree that there are advantages and disatvantages in any situation?

Dear Tosten,

Sorry for not promptly reply. The thing is, my computer has broken, so I'm using libraries and college computers only. Hopefully, sometime this week I will get it back.

That how you put it, and I agree with that too:

It is true - the majority of all speakers of English, be it native speakers or people speaking English as a second language, speak a rather simple language. The majority of all people in many industrialized countries read a tabloid like 'The Sun' every day and watch soap operas and talk shows on TV. What kind of language are they exposed to? A rather simple one if not primitive. ===============================================
That is exactly how, and for what, TVs are controlling and influencing society through the Media. It is true, they could do much better but the majority (TVs and media) are not.

Yes, for sure! There are good things about technology but we can't forget that it is creating a whole new Cyber culture and so far nobody knows really what will happen as result of it. I mean, good things like you and some others are developing is great. But again, according to the some statistics, for the last ten years, kids has never been exposed to nudity as well as to violence as they are now.

Anyways, lets try to keep up the good work... That is really all we can do. Wink
