With the GOOD, comes the BAD
Journal Entry Question for Grade 10 #1
There are many opportunities that modern-technology has given us there are some good and some bad. For instance the computer has given us a lot of technological boosts such as games, photos, videos, internet, online messaging, blogging, and many more. The games can provide people with entertainment, which is mostly for children, but sometimes adults also. Photos and videos could be stored into the computer so it can be viewed later by anyone who uses the computer, and it takes less time to develop if it's being printed by film. The internet provides tons and tons of information just by typing and clicking, with that it provides us with instant messaging where we can talk to people right away anywhere around the world in just a second. Without the trouble of mailing or actually meeting the person which could take a very long time.As much as there are good things, there are also many bad things about it too, such as the computer requires power to start, with the energy it costs money and if people don't have money for that they will not be able to support themselves and the computer. After that, the computer also needs various programs for it to run if not the computer might not run certain things as you want it to. For instance to play a game people must buy the games in order to play it. After that you have to see if the computer can actually "run" the game and if it cannot buying the game would be useless. Also there's a limit to how much you can store onto your computer, even though pictures/videos do not take much space to store but, it can takes quite some space if there is a lot of pictures/videos then you have to add more by buying more parts and installing it which can cost a lot and could be time consuming. The internet can also be bad because even with all the information that can be accessed it doesn't make the information true so, some information/sites can be true and the other are false. There are also viruses, ads, spywares that certain site give and that can be devastating since viruses/trojans can destroy the computer inside to out information from your computer would be easily accessed by hackers too. Online messaging and blogging can be dangerous since you can talk to anyone around the world, they could be people you don't know so they could be dangerous. In fact with all these bad things, in general the computer can cost a lot of money and everyday technology is improving so in a month things can be out of date and old. People would have to keep up to technology everyday with their time and money.
