CSC104 week 10

During the last half part of the class, we were talking about the advantages and disadvantages of the development about computer. On the one hand, computers indeed stimulate the process for technology. It saves time and increases the production at the same time. However, there is a paradox between working production and working hours for human beings ( Ford). Sometimes labors force to work overtime in order to operate the machine and manufacture more products. This lecture gave me more understandings around the influence of computers. Another example is hardware. It is obvious that storing information gets smaller, cheaper, faster by the decade. From my perspective, I think it is indeed a good influence for human beings.
The other problem is not focus on the computers, but the quick life tempo caused by computers. The increasing number of people who have no idea about balancing work and family shows that rapid lifestyle affect people in some negative ways. It tells me that this is an inevitable condition that I will face when I get the job, but family is also as important as job career.
