The pros and cons of the internet and new computer technologies

For the pros and cons of the Internet and new computer technologies, it is easy to find all the reasons from the Internet. I think it is the key point of the pros and cons of the Internet.

Nowadays, it is obviously that the breakthrough of technology makes our life different. Get numerous knowledge from different websites, raise productivity and efficiency in production line and improve our works in computer by using software, like Photoshop, Microsoft office. It enhance a chance for us to communicate with different people or to know what your friends' doing through the Internet. "To help a friend in need is easy, but to give him your time is not always opportune." (Modern Times, Charlie Chaplin). It is also a platform for us to express our feeling and to spread some information which were impossible in the pass. As we are not the workers in the factory, we usually forgot the dark side of the digital technology.

Still, there were some dark sides brought from the digital technology. The problem of exploiting workers is serious, e.g. the Foxconn incident in China, 2010, the welfare of those workers should be treated seriously. Besides, Kong girl $500, 2012, is implementing the cyber-bullying in the Internet. Furthermore, not just bring to the workers, as technology makes our life different, makes our life easier (get information from wiki, etc.), we are usually addicted to it. It is a huge problem that affecting our normal daily life, e.g. smart phone, facebook, whatsapp, MSN, we can't live without them. The Internet and computer technology are also eating our life.

* Kong girl $500, 2012 : the current hot issue in Hong Kong that a Hong Kong woman warned her friends do not give less than $800 to her as gift money for her wedding in her Facebook status. Her status was shared by many people and as the result, she was blamed by the public media and forum people.

Introduction









I am Nesca Lau. I am a final year student of Visual Studies. I like photo taking. This semester, I am taking the course of photography which makes me lots of fun. I am a technology idiot but the role of digital technologies is very important in my life. Why do I say it is very important? In this technology era, I think no one can escape from the use of technology. Even though I am an idiot on it, I do know how to use some software, like Photoshop, Photofilter, AI.. etc. to enhance my work and my photos! I think digital technology makes impossible in reality to possible. This is how the world changing!
