as long as there are computers there will be a need for people to teach others how to use them and a need for people who know how to fix them.\n\nbut graphic design has always interested me.

I think human beings will always have problems.  New technology may solve some of these problems and create others.

It depends on who you are. You can use computers to isolate your self, or you can use them to expand your life. You cant JUST use computers, get out and play Frisbee once in a while! (Not virtual frisbee either)

I think prety much the same except there will be a lot of internet sites, there user interface will be more 3D and there will also be more disadvantages like spam, hacking, etc.  The war between computer viruses and anti-viruses will still go on.

I think so.  I think most of modern technology brings stress along with its benefits.  After all, it used to be you could get away from the telephone, the television, and the stereo: now you carry them with you.  I check my email several times a day; if it was only snail mail, once a day would be enough.  Things change faster, and even the rate of change is accelerating.  Remember Alvin Toffler's "Future Shock" book?  I'd like to get a copy of that now, to see how accurate his predictions were.  It is my impression that the reality is even scarier than the predictions that scared me so bad when I was in college!

Of course technology leads to social isolation in some situations. For instance, the people holed up in their houses for days on end with game systems. Being on the internet constantly...I could go on and on. I have though of it before, and the impact on our society as a whole, but we have to change with it. There are positive aspects, too, such as making deadlines at work via working 'over' at home, e-mailing and IMs to people who you wouldn't normally be able to contact due to high long distance costs, etc.

Any effects or technology in particular?\n\nTo answer your question I would suggest that a city is a technology itself:\n\n- Roads, sidewalks, bridges for transportation\n- Powerlines, lights, wires for power distribution\n- Aqueducts, sewers, pipelines for resources and waste\n- Parks, public spaces, and public art for people\n- Telephone, cable, and wireless for data networks\n\nAdvances in technology will be applied to cities in ways that support or enhance these functions.

"Humans Think Computers Work" -- A quote on Computers.\n\nIsn't it self explanatory\n\nhttp://www.futureaccountant.com/\n\nhttp://www.schoolingkids.com/

Computers will destroy most relationships of those who do not know much about them. They are always fighting over the PC if they only own one and as soon as there is a problem with it immediately they blame the other even when it is a very simple fix.

They are important for two different reasons:\n\n1-they potentiate our capabilities, allowing us to process huge amounts of information in a short time and in a better way.\n\n2-they are also important because they spoil lives (think of adult and child pornography on the internet, obscene pictures and movies, obscene chats, etc.)\n\nAs any other tool, computers can be used for good or for evil. That is our election...

Benefits are numerous. Computers enable us to make life easy by increasing the efficiency of offices, schools and persons. Science and Arts can make great progress with the help of computers. And we enjoy the fruits of them. Instant communication bridges the gap between people - relatives, friends and enemies, as well as researchers and thinkers.\n\nHowever, computers are not without their drawbacks. They can create an illusion of the world which may be different from reality. Many become so dependent on computers that they feel helpless without. Also, you can get ache, cramps, blood clots and impaired vision from excessive use of computer. Without going outdoors or using cars, together with physical inactivity can even kill a person. Because these can beget diabetes or other serious ailments.\n\nMan will certainly overcome these bad effects and derive much benefits from use of computers, in days to come.

One positive aspect is that computers can help us build new knowledge, share it with the world and communicate ideas, feelings, emotions, etc.\n\n  One negative aspect is that some people are co-dependent, they do depend too much in the "artificial intelligence", this means some simple operations are hard to do without the computer.\n\n   Another aspect that is positive is that computers make us free in the world, we can find different cultures and learn from them.\n\n   Another neg. aspect is that could harm eyes, produce some radiation but there are ways to prevent this.
