INTRODUCTION
As we know, computers have being a really big impact since they first came out. The idea of having a computer at home was unbelievable, and the only ones who had the pleasure to own them at first, were big companies and the government. With our world changing and technology moving forward, it became accessible to any individual. Thisbecame a huge success worldwide bringing new resources and a new lifestyle. Nowadays we use the computer almost for any task daily and we can’t even see ourselves without one. How is it that millions of years ago, they did not have one but it didn’t matter?

Is it making our life simpler or more complicated? Could we live without them?. Computers make our life easier in every aspect and that is a god thing, but for some people is bad. This is making us to rely more on computers instead of doing things by our own. It seems that we cant live without them now that we use it for almost every task we doand almost everywhere.
