Computers have made numerous significant contributions to our society, but there are disadvantages of it as well. Computers have resulted in automation of various processes and this has reduced the amount of labor required to carry out various operations.

With the internet connectivity and adoption of social media platforms on large scale, face to face interaction has reduced and we have more regular friends on Facebook than in real life. Our communication patterns have also changed due to IMs (instant messengers) and Twitter, and we have resorted to using shorter messages and abbreviations of several words. There are also health risks associated with long and sustained use of computers. Data security and privacy invasion are other risks of too much dependence on computers.


Hope this helps.
