Nowadays computers mean everything. They help us to find any information we need, to watch films without going to the cinema or listen to music we like, to talk with our friends on the Internet, even to do our homework. But is it so good, to use computers instead real life? On the one hand, we have an access to information, such as pictures, videos, music, we can use them at any time only by one or two clicks, we can chat with our friends without going into windy or rainy street,we can write letters, find a job..But there is nothing to compare with the real life, real communication, going to libraries or to the cinema, talking with friends in the cafe. So I suppose, that computers, though they can be helpful, are not a blessing. They are a curse in some kind. They kill our wish for living a real life.
