Computer as Our Buddy

If you ask someone about what computer is, probably you’ll get several answers. Such as, computer is a tool with several programs in it, or computer is a device that helps us on calculation. If you concern on it for more, the definition is mostly “computer is a tool or device to make a person’s job easier.” Yes, I know. It sounds like the definition of simple plane.  It is for real.

Computer is like a dog, a buddy for its master. Computers accompany you whenever you need them. You use them for doing your task, for expressing what you feel, to entertain you by playing some games, watching some movies. Computer will treat your curiousity by letting you to surf on internet. Some of you also can enjoy your hobby on computer, rendering some pictures, or calculating some programs or maybe anything else. You can also save your money to communicate with another person who is far away from your place. How helpful it is. So, it is really reasonable when you get worried if there is something wrong with them. Beside they are really expensive to get. They are also really meaningful for you. Seem like you are really dependent on it.

Everything at least has two sides, if there is good, so it should be bad in it. And if it is helpful, there should be harmful in it. Being in front of your computer all day can give you some illness. Such as, Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), draining eyes, and also some backbone-related problems. NIOSH (The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health) found that use of computer is causing stress. If you often ignore those side effects, it means that you already addicted. You should realize that, doing that activity is really wasting your time to socialize with other, which is an important thing for human like us.

It is okay you assume that computer is your buddy, but having a buddy doesn’t mean you will always together with them, right? You can have them whenever you need, but you should also think about your private time. When you have something that needs your computer’s help, such as make some report, or article which is should be posted (like this), you two can work together, but don’t forget to limit the time. Both of you need some rest for a while to do your task and you can do everything with your computer. Because you know, you are not too dependent on it.
