|
The main advantage of computers is that it’s easy to find out 0 (across) like how to travel somewhere. This means that people don’t need to look in books or newspapers. However, there is too much information 21 (down). The further disadvantage is that people 22 (down) their computers away after a few years. This results in a lot of 23 (across). At the 24 (down) time there are a 25 (across) of advantages for children such as being able to play games. In addition computers make learning more fun. But this leads to children spending too much time on the computer. It is easier to stay in 26 (down) with friends by emails. Another advantage is that you can send photos. It leads to people sending emails rather than talking to each other. I sometimes think people 27 (across) on computers too much and if a computer goes 28 (down), for instance in a hospital, it might be 29 (down). In conclusion, I think computers 30 (across) our lives in lots of ways and the advantages are more important than the disadvantages. |
