Do you think computers have too much control over us?

You got to remember a Computer is a tool and only as good as the person sitting at it. I think a Computer in the wrong hands is a weapon and can be very deadly. In the right hands a very useful tool but that is all it is a tool.

Using computers too weakens our power in memorization.  Or the other way around, I can't remember much.

Disagree. Computers don't make you a better decision maker, they just give you more information to make those decisions.

Let's not be naive, what is right or legal will not stop those with power from learning what they want to know. Our technological advances in the field of communications have presented an irresistible opportunity for those with power to abuse our rights. Our only hope for the future is that these powers are somewhat benevolent torward us. The only place you can know,... really know, that you have privacy, is the thoughts in your head.

You're at school, you have no privacy.\n\nBesides, if they're monitoring and controlling your computers in real time with this program, don't you think they would know the precise second you disabled it?

JENKINS!!!! You know full well that it is against company policy to use computers for personal matters. I have noted that you logged onto answers.yahoo.com and have spent far too much time doing it.\n\nI want you and your personal belonings out the door within the hour, do I make myself CLEAR?!

You're going to have to look this up in your book or something, computers have thousands of uses, from simple email to playing movies to sorting files, etc. etc.

Yes.\nNorton tends to manifest itself as the so-called "god" of your computer, taking priority over every other program.\nIt is really annoying...\nI would recommend moving to another program.\nTry McAfee

My mother hates them....then again, she grew up when you had the ability to call any company and get a REAL person to answer the other end!  BUT, she respects my ability to use and manipulate one, and wonders why I don't have a job where I can use one daily!  What she doesn't understand, is that although I know computers and software and hardware inside out...what I learned, I learned through trail and error over the past 15 years from owning several. And without that piece of parchment that states I have a diploma in computer science...finding a job in that area is a very HARD thing to do!\n\nI think her fears stem from how much technology she's watched evolve through her 74 years and how dependent we've become on machines!

Computers are technology and affect most peoples lives.\nWhether or not they improve or degrade our lives is purely down to whether you are an optimist or pessimist. Personally I'm an optimist!

i disagree ... technology may let a man feel that he's on top of the world! but he can't control everything-- technology can't control human relationships and most of all it can't control love.

my thoughts xactly!  \n\nit's "their" way of controlling what we know and do!

Something miraculous as happened!  By some strange happenstance, your computer has gained artificial intelligence and is defending itself from my space.  I can't tell you how to fix your problem. But I'd like to learn how you created it, because I know I can sell that program the parents all over the world!

Matrix?  What about Terminator?!  I always laugh when people say how can computers take over?  Our children take over from us - and we taught them everything they know... Why isn't it possible?  If you can teach a computer to have original thought (and why isn't that possible if a human can do it, and computers have processors like our brains) then I don't see why they wouldn't rebel.\nYeah gotta love those animatrix cartoons.  They rock. Very scary though.

Nope, I think in a few years the world will be run by them. Soon when you go to Burger King there will be no people behind the counter, it will all be computers, Think of it this way though all of your information is stored on computers, what happens if one day they just all die. Then we all would be in big trouble! So maybe we use the computer too much!!

Nope ... in fact you're lucky if half the people here can actually use computers ..... a bit of an ageing population LOL
