I think that computers have made easier the live to people because make easier the communication and the development of skills like writing and reading, computers make easier the transactions between people and banks and you can get information easier than looking it in a book.
Computers can give entertainment to people they can play chat and be mailed and communicate on line by the messenger, in internet you can get a lot of information in order to be informed about current issues.
Computers are now a tool in people’s job cause this make easier too many activities that people does in the offices like letters accountability design finances and too many options that we can find in different software each one specialize in it’s own camp.
Computers can create dependency because they make things easier.
If you are going to use a computer be sure about turn it off before in the correct way because if you turn it off in the wrong way you can lost information.

The computers have changed our lives because, in the past all the work was very difficult and complicated for foult of technology, and also for the absence of one apparatus that make my life easier.
The computers have many aspects positives and negatives.The aspects positives are:
*I use my computer to send and receive emails, to find information on the web, for doing university assignments, to read the news etc.
The aspects negatives are:
* The way of spend my free time in things unnecessary, for exmaple: to play games all day, for downloading music etc.
These are my instructions for to use the computer:
*Make sure to turn off the computer when you finish the work.
*Be sure not to pay bills on the web.

The Computer is a new life style because it’s the tool to connect to internet and they make our life easier when you need to find something quickly, actually it’s a new way to communicate with people like family, friends and other person until it’s necessary to make the English homework. PC’s and Internet are the same because one of them can’t live without the other, for this reason both are grow so fast and I think that all people must live with this tools that help in many things, the dark side of computers are that people every day depend more and more of them, and spend the time in chat, porn sites, websites like facebook and other tings.
Every job as simple as it, need that the person knows about computers and basic programs like Microsoft office, because in this time everything it’s handle by computer. In the industry all information is saved in databases, so the huge problem is that bad people like black hackers can steal the information and then request money to give back it, this is the new form to obtain easy money!!!

i`m one of the people who spend their free time in the messenger and in the internet in general. i think that we spend so much time in this because when you are in front of a computer the time past very very fast and you didn`t realize it.
with the computers the variety of jobs increase so much. the computers can make our lives difficult because they can have virus and he information could be erase. that`s why the hackers are a very big problem because they make the virus and create it.

I thing that the computer is one of the best inventions!!
The computers have changed in a way surprising people's lives, because they have facilitated the daily work and now this work can be made in a shorter time.
But computers are a very useful tool,its to help people become a little incapable and useless.
A negative aspect of computers is: many times people do not use their free time well, because it lose sending messages or improper things.
If you use a computer you should use these instructions:
- Don`t forget turn it off, after used it
- Try not to use the computer for improper things.
- Remember to clean it up.
- Make sure to use an anti-virus to protect your files.

Hello Teacher!!!
From my point of view the use of the computer is of vital importance and also is a source of learning, this tool is very good, but also has its drawbacks because as a source of information is displacing the interesting for the books and sometimes opening step to plagiarism.Besides students rarely went to the library.

The world of computers have large impact on our daily activities, whether in the field work, staff, educational Among others...

Boys and girls: ¡We should be embrace the technology but not lose our intellect and not change the interest in books which give us more wisdom than any website!

Computers were used to conduct research, work very easily but we started doing this than relying on computers for many things and we do not care about our capabilities to develop more.
Life with computers has made the world more interconnected, which is an advantage because we can be in touch with people who are on the other side of the planet. But in a world where there are flaws, are people who spend long time in front of the computer without knowing the consequences this could because everything in excess is bad. However computers represent an edge in getting a work because it requires knowledge in the work because computers are necessary to carry out the activities of the company as an enterprise requires computer programs to optimize perimtan work.
Using a computer to follow the instructions below:

The computer is an electronic machine that with happening of the time has come updating and facilitating the majority part of the tasks with can be made, which has done that the life for the people which use it makes its work much more easy, also makes that the people distract themselves in their free times with activities like games, listen to music, see promotions to buy any product, make investigations, communicate with people inside and out of the country use this system, etc.

But also it causes that many people become employee of the computer and that without the help of this tasks and although this tasks be easy it becomes difficult, causes that the people through the Internet forget the valuable things important and that they rounds them, like the friends, and the strolls

The works are found of single fast way with clicking, which generates that the people are not interested to look for the things, it causes that people have problems in their social life, which becomes addict to the computer through the Internet.

A computer is an electronic machine (hardware) using programs (software) to control operations.
The computer make my life easier every time I have to do a homework, when I want to talk with some friends, when I want to see some pictures of me and my friends, etc.
But, at the same time, make my life difficult everytime I must clean it (for example)
The computers affect directly my free time, because I always turn on the computer when I finish my tasks…I mean, in my free time i´m used to talk with my friends in msn, and a lot of internet…(facebook, youtube, etc, etc….)

Every job needs a computer….this machine is necessary in every environment…an example:
Doctors need a computer because they need to registrate the pacient prescription.
Secretaries need a computer because they need to write important letters.
Business managers need a computer because the programmes makes an efficient and easy works.
Computers cause a lot of problems. In my case, everyday, I must download a new data base of my antivirus and that´s too boring because if I don´t do it, my computer turns off…I don´t like that!
INSTRUCTIONS TO SOMEONE ON HOW TO USE MY COMPUTER?
*Be sure not to eat near the computer.
* make sure to turn on and turn off the computer in the way it should be.
*try not to download unknown files to my computer.
*Try to clean the keyboard when it is dirty.

No way computers make life difficult, contrary, it’s makes it very easy. Things that we used to do in a long time, we can do it now faster and better. And that’s not all. Computers are a benefit for the human beings and help us with everything like medicine, astronomy, sports, house job, chemistry, school, etc.
In my spare time I like to be investigating and looking for things on the Internet, I also like to download music, watch videos, chatting with friends and occasionally send e-mails to my friends.
The most important influence is the ease and speed with which the work is done today, computers and technology, are in the ability to offer to humans very easily and quickly to meet programmed tasks and make decisions, if this not, the case, thanks to the policies that lead people to invent their processes.
Contamination, the same waste of both virtual and physically is a problem today because the computers are going to innovate every day and this gives rise to other machines that are becoming obsolete are garbage and rubbish that it is very costly for men human. Moreover as there is no absolute control over the contents of computers and the services they give us, there is a lot of information that causes a lot of damage in some societies.
