Computers have gained popularity among people of all ages. However, it is argued by some that they are an obstacle, whilst others believe that they have made life to be more bearable. In this essay, I will discuss ways that a computer can become a hindrance.

Though computers have a number of benefits, there are disadvantages associated with them. Firstly, they provide a vast array of entertainment, from video games, movies to various social networking sites. These are addictive in nature and most individuals will spend hours glued on the screen. This means less productivity, less exercise and even less time with family members. Consequently, obesity ensures along with associated diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart diseases and families are destroyed respectively.

On the other hand, computer technology brought about advances in engineering and most machines or menial tasks which could be done manually are now automated.
