Are we too dependent on computers?

Yes we are very dependent on computers. I say this because many people tend to do rely on them for everything, from paying bills, applying for jobs, looking for directions of a certain business and even staying connected with friends and family through social networks. Without computers this world would be full of chaos. We’ve become dependent on computers to write essays and do homework using Microsoft Word for spell check and grammar mistakes. Online classes require to use a computer therefore makes us very dependent on computers. Its goes to people becoming so dependent that we cant remember numbers and depend on out cell phones. As you can see we depend on computers too much and are losing our ability to memorize, type, spell, or even write a grammatical correct sentence. Back in the day it had to hand written and delivered through a carrier a couple days later. Which lead to e-mails and instant messaging, the key word being instant unlike back in the day it would take days. Businesses run through the use of computers such as using Excel to manage simple functions like adding numbers and using it as a budgeting program. Banking is now done on computers along with credit apps and even car and movie rentals. If we lost the use of computers at this point in time, our world would come to a screeching halt. Either way at any point in someone’s day you’re bound to use a computer. Event though many people think that computers are just a “tool” and we don’t depend on computer. It is still called being dependent on a computer (or tool) no matter what, because it is used in our every day life we will eventually be in a place where they have taken too much control, because if our computers crash or fail, for some reason, many of us would be lost and not know what to do.
