How the computer will be used in the future.

I believe that the computer will be used in mammy different ways in the future.  One way I think it will be used is people will make it small, like a cell phone. We may be able to use them like they are cell phones.  This could be really easy and simple because we wouldn't really have to learn how to type on a keyboard.  It would also be portable because it is so small.  For example, if we are busy one night, we could take it with us and get it done on the road.

Another way it could be used in the future is maybe the computer will be able to talk and we will be able to talk to it.  Instead of having to type, we could just simply say something to it and it will respond the same way it would if it were typed. This could be helpful because if kids are too young to know how to spell, they could just ask the computer to go to what website they want to go to.  Another example is it could read us recipes or directions if we are busy.  One way this wouldn't be helpful is if we needed to use a computer in school and it had to be silent.

Maybe in the future, the computer will eventually take over newspapers.  Almost everything you can find in a newspaper is already posted on the internet.  I mean you can look up articles or even movie times.  You can also look up comics and what places are hiring for jobs.  I think people will eventually realize that you can find the same things on the computer that are in the newspaper and we are just all wasting paper. You can find almost anything on the computer, so why bother buying a newspaper?

changes the internet has on society

The internet has had a huge affect on society.  One way it has changed society is it is a commonly used source of knowledge.  People depend on the internet for a lot of information.  This could be a good thing, but it could also be a very bad thing. For example, it is making people lazy.  I mean, you can type in a question on a website, and it will search the answer for you.  When people use Microsoft word or Microsoft excel, if you have an error, the computer will automatically fix you mistake for you, unless you have it turned off.  Some of the time, the computer isn't even right when it tries to fix something, or it doesn't catch one of your mistakes.  People should learn how to do something correctly before a computer fixes your mistake for you.

With the younger generation on the internet, we don't know what they are viewing.  This is because the internet is so complex and there are so many websites on it that they could be viewing anything they want.  Even by simply typing something into Google, inappropriate things could pop up.  On the internet, they can be exposed to the type of things they shouldn't be exposed to until they are at a mature level in their life. It is so easy for a child to say that they are 18 years of age or older on a website; therefore, they can watch or look at almost anything the internet has to offer.  Websites such as face book and twitter are also more for young adults and older people.  Cyber bullying is also a major issue going on in today’s society.  This affect on society isn't a good one.

The internet may not have that good of an effect on society dealing with face book and cyber bullying, but there are also some good things about the internet that leave a good affect on society.  For example, it is an easy way of communication.  Students are able to communicate with their teachers easier over the internet.  Many schools also have their own websites that post up grades and assignments.  Many businesses advertise over the internet. Some advertisements may not be the best advertisement, but they gain customers.  If you’re not sure about something, or you need directions to something, you could always look it up on one of the internet's many search engines.  These are just a few ways the internet has had a good affect on society.
