It has brought many changes in this world. With the rapid development of science and technology, more and more people have their own personal computers. It not only can do the calculations at a very high speed, but also can have access to the Internet to get information from the outside world. ① Computers play a very vital role in our daily life. They can do a lot of things. Access to the Internet, you can find the answers to your questions, and you can do online shopping without going outside. The computer has provided us lots of convenience. There is no doubt that people can have a better life with computers. Some people wory about that someday computers may replace human beings. Then most people will have no jobs. However, in my opinion, computers are not replacing us. Even though computers can take over some difficult tasks that we cannot do, they are nothing but machines. They work for us. They will never take the place of man.
