Iwould like to talk about the role that computers play in our lives. these machines appeared quite a long time ago - in the middle of the last century. initially, computers were huge, enormous machines, but over time, their size has decreased and their quality has improved. people have invented for themselves indispensable helpers in their work, socializing with friends, and entertaining themselves. computers help us make our shopping lists, remind us about important appointments and anniversaries, help us answer the telephone. we can`t imagine our lives without computers. many people have got used to such state of things and they can no longer do without  computers. so now we can see a kind of dependence on computers and computer games. of course, this is bad, because it destroys people, ruins their health and lives. as the result they can end up going crazy because computer addiction is akin to drug addiction, very difficult to recover from. thus, i believe that we should be able to control their actions and not to make ourselves slaves of "iron robots" letting them ruin our future. i believe that we should not overuse the benefits provided to us by computers. otherwise modern technology will devour us.
