It means that Internet (see computers) made it possible for you to meet. Hence, computers bring happiness to your life. So, how can we say that computers steal our personal time? Or, our personal time is stolen by marriage?! Of course, no! Consequently, computers make our life easier. At least they brought love in somebody's life. That's great.

By the way, there are a lot of people who met thanks to computers. For instance, according to statistics, in the USA 15% of marriages are binded by couples who met in social networks. Moreover, their number is increasing.

I think that computers surely make our life easier.

Firstly, it reduces the time of work.

Secondly, nowadays there many programms, which facilitates the work.

Nobody will not deny that computers are like a magic wand. Without it we can not work.

Technology affects veery aspect of our lives. I think computers make our life easier. At first I want to say that new technologies especially computers save us time. it change everything. since computers and the internet have expanded in such a way in which education can be delivered to students, it is currently possible to engage in "distance education through the internet". thanks to it you should not spend time for driving. also in some cases computers improve the quality and quantity of education.

but what about social communication between people I thing that technology damages our interpersonal communication! for instance, three years old children are spending their time with computer, paying games and so on, instead playing games with neighborhood children as hide-and-seek, football...whatever. Children spend less in open air. I think that it will bring own consequences.

This is an either-or situation. But, for me, it's definitely made life easier. I have more now, that I was doing without for too long. But I admit, I have used the internet to just waste time. But, if it weren't for this, I'd only find something else to waste my time.

I support both arguments. For the first argument, it will be relevant to say that computer age has got used to our lifes and become indispensable thing of everyday life. Today every second person has computer and access to the internet and of course it makes our life easier, cause computer activities save our time. For instance you are able to cover expanses for on-line shopping, telecommunication and commercial service, replenish an account in your bank and other opportunities. By the way don't forget about entertainment (video, gaming, applications, music etc. ) and work (most operations are made via computer), which gives us the same computer. To conclude, nowadays computer novation has become popular and developers, who provides different devices, components for computers are inclined to make life even more easier and satisfy a demand of consumer. So we only need to manage our time and detect what reasons make us feel depressed, tired and so on; put aside unnecessary affair so that you could do useful and necessary things. Have a good day!!! = )

In my point of view it depends on how one uses computer. If s/he uses it just for entertainment like playing games, watching films or chatting and s/he spends all the time on computer, then of course it steals our personal time. If one uses computer with some aims like finding some useful information from the Internet, typing some documents, reading news or just to say “hello” to your mother from Skype if you are abroad then computers make our life easier. In addition, we can earn money using the Internet. Today there are a lot of possibilities not only to find a job from the Internet, but also to buy some clothes, to buy a ticket or to pay some bills. On the other hand, computers are harmful for people’s health. We can damage our eyesight and there is a big radiation from the computer. Anyway, if you will follow some rules such as wearing protecting glasses and not spending a lot of time on computer, then everything will be ok. To sum up, as you can see there are more advantages of using computer, than disadvantages, so I just would like to ask you: Can you imagine life without computer now?

computers don't steal our time... Of course if you r a will-less person and spend all the precious time in social networks and playing different games, in this case, the wrong use of computers would steal our time. But if you are capable to arrange you time in a proper way computers can be your "friends" and make your life much easier...

Computers have made an impact in this world. From the past until the present people have been using computers for many different things.And I believe that computers have made our lives more easier. They have made it easier for us to communicate and easier for us to do many of the everyday things that we must do to keep our lives in order.Besides we can easily get information about any product we plan to buy with help of online shopping or place we plan to visit over a second using personal computer and Internet. Also, I think the most relevant answer to this question is communication. In the world today, "quick" and "easy" communication is highly valued; hence most of the technology of today. Research has become as easy as typing your question and finding your answer and all of this with the help of computers!

Can I just check I have understood - did you say that computers steal our personal time? Yes, some of you said. So, why do you spend your spare time in front of computers' monitor typing your arguments?

In addition, computers make our life easier because they give us such a wonderful opportunity to discuss this interesting question.

A plethora of information is available at your fingertips with a computer. A computer does strengthen our personal lives.

They make our lifes easier because we can use Microsoft Word and type some a project up and then you can print out that project that you typed up. Also you can watch TV on the computer and do so many things with the computers. If computers were not invented our social life would be a little boring. We would have to text other people or call them.

I agree with you that usually computer makes our life easier, however can you notice that we spend less time outside. We always with computer, chatting, playing, working and so on! When you last time was outdoors? How often do you meet with friend in live? I think that in some cases computers steal our personal time...

Yes, you are absolutely right. Using Microsoft Word really simplifies our lives. For instance, we can edit only a certain part of the text instead of typing the hole text again. Moreover, using spreadsheets, like Microsoft Excel, allows us to easily count money or raw products needed for some business. Furthermore, Microsoft Power Point is very good for creating presentations with all its visual aids to persuade audience or to demonstrate something.

Throughout the last decade I have found that computer access can be either beneficial or malefic. If the computer is utilized to our advantage, then it can be a source of good. An example could potentially be this website; people use this website to discuss a variety of issues, to exchange positions and to perhaps even be swayed in their thinking. Another good use of the computer is for research. One can easily find a great amount of information (albeit, ofttimes tainted) through Google and a variety of other search engines.

Likewise, as I stated previously, computers can have a malefic affect on their users. One can become addicted to games and social networking, which eventually may interfere with their personal life and health. I have found from personal experience in locations which offer public Internet access that most tend to use the Internet for playing games, watching YouTube videos, and social networking.

Another downfall is the decline of book-reading. More and more people tend to use the computer for the above malefic purposes, rather than educational ones. This, I believe, has brought about the fall in other forms of expression including the most important in the history of the world: books. A near 25% fall, to be more precise. As a book collector, this has caused me some bit of fright; the feel of the paper, the smell of a fresh, new book: the entire book experience is the love of my life, and it is falling miserably into the gutter. Thus, I do not consider myself unbiased enough to make such a declaration, but I shall do so regardless: the internet/computer is a source of evil in this world. Our move to digitalization is not going well for the future of books and real-world socialization as more and more people spend every waking moment reading their friends' latest tweets and facebook updates.

Nowadays, people don't have their own private life. If something happen in the life they immediately put it in the Internet. People became depend on the computer. They are always with computer. And I think that it became problem of modern life. For example one office worker spend more time with his foreign colloquies thru computer than with his family or colloquies from the next door. It is one of the reasons why many families divorce.

Maybe, but it is one in a million! Much better if you meet with your partner (girlfriend) in the live, because when it happen thru the Internet it can be dangerous in some cases. Because today, Internet has a lot of psychological ill people or pervert. And you can not be sure that your partner will be okay.

Yes, you are right computers may steal our personal time. But if they steal, it means that we allow them to steal. If we used computers only for work or education, we would not be able to say that they steal. By the way, this "stolen time" is spent mostly in social networks and watching films online, isn't it?

The contra argument is that people become computer addicted and can't no more resist computer impact. The reason is progressing addiction. You can't stand up the temptation to drop a line in vkontakte.ru, facebook.com or another social networking service. You can't resist the temptation to play new game, which is concerned to make you play more and more, but as it finds out there is continuation of this game and you want to buy it. The result is you are already hooked! So where do I getting at? I want to persuade you that computer gives more harm than benefit if we do something with fanaticism!
