Become overly dependent? I don’t think so … Let’s say it’s more of “slowly becoming one”. We simply cannot generalize things though.
What we don’t know is that there are also people in different parts of the world that is not really dependent to computers. We can say that they’re the type of people in which the world of computer doesn’t really get their attention. They do use some, but we can classify them as below average computer users. Below average computer users still use computer in terms of their work and daily living but unlike other computer users, they often use and buy computers the least. People I refer to are mostly found in rural or uninfluenced places in Africa. According to a research the continent of Africa tops the list with the most number of countries that is least developing.
Moreover, as we all know there are also some places in the Philippines which computers did not go that far. Places where poverty is a big issue and for sure the idea of computers in these places is low. But aside from the fact that Philippines is a “Third World Country” and the country is in the process of globalization, The Philippines is still and will continue to cope up with the technology used these days.
As we can see, people nowadays are fond of following modern trends, but there are also people who can live normally without being able to use different types of computer in what they do every day. Despite of the reason that it makes our work quicker and easier, there’s just instances people can do things without them and doesn’t need to use them.
We might not know but there a lot of factors which affects the usage of computers around the globe. First and foremost, one of the most common yet a big problem of people nowadays is that they don’t have the sufficient amount of money to buy the “computer applied items” that they want. This “computer applied items” which I mean are IOS or Android Phones (IPhone 6, Samsung Galaxy S6 or Samsung Galaxy Edge), Air conditioners, PC, laptops, tablets or maybe an HD Television. People think that they also need to buy these things immediately due to the trend and peer pressure even if money is a problem.(http://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge/1111/5-things-people-buy-because-of-peer-pressure.aspx)
Furthermore, complication is also one of the factors. Because of the evolving technology, computers are evolving into a more complicated system. Some people have it simple to use and some people don’t. And this is where the next factor comes. For me it is lack of wisdom and willingness to learn. When people are surrounded by computers and they themselves do not want to learn how it works then it makes them left out and independent. But we cannot judge them if they do not want to use it. Being independent in some ways is a positive thing.
But going back to what I said on the first paragraph, I want to further elaborate why I think the world is still not an overly dependent world to computer but instead it is slowly becoming one. What I meant was that the world don’t really depend that much on computers because we still have the manual work made by the people. They are the ones who operate machines for them to work. In addition, People are the ones who are creating computers that we will be using.
So, has the world become overly dependent to computers? Well, clearly it is a no for me. And now I therefore conclude that people may use different types of computer in their daily lives, but people may also not use computer because we really don’t know what factor affects them. It may be financial factor, complication or lack of willingness to learn.
But we can’t also tell that the world is in a passive state. It may still not be an overly dependent world to computers but someday it will be.
