Essay on my first computer
I got my computer when I was 11 years old. It was given to me for my birthday. It was a very welcome gift, as my peers already had a computer. I never thought about the question of what my computer means to me.
He has become so significant to me that I am afraid to think about the moment when he will be gone. I try to sit behind him as little as possible. But, unfortunately, this is bad, it turns out that do not touch, you need a computer. It is elementary to write an essay or synopsis, you need a computer, to look at any information you also need a computer. Even to watch a movie, I search the Internet and watch it on the computer, as it is very convenient.
I like to sit on social networks, where I communicate with people who are 1000 km away from me. I also love to play various games. Nowadays, all documents should not only be on paper but also in electronic form. On the one hand, this is very good, because there are many programs on the computer that emphasize if there are errors, calculate correctly, and many others. Previously, before the advent of the computer, you had to have many different devices to play, listen to music, watch movies, communicate with people who are very far away now, all you need to do is have a computer. It is very convenient and comfortable for people, no need to strain too much. The computer helps people very much, thanks to it, you can save time. But if you look from the other side, on the contrary, it takes a lot of time. For example, when we turn on the Internet we are drawn in, we do not notice how quickly time flies. We think five minutes have passed, but in fact, at least three hours. And because of this, you may not have time for anything. In order for the computer to bring only benefit and not harm, you need to use it rationally and as needed. In this case, the computer can help you save time and do a lot for you. And if you browse the Internet on social networks, look at pictures and videos, then it will not bring any benefit. But on the other hand, it is interesting, exciting and thanks to this you can see a lot of interesting things. If I was completely restricted from the computer, I would not feel comfortable. At the moment, I cannot imagine my life without a computer. Since every year computers are more and more modified, they are even more addictive.
