Since the ever-accelerated updating of science and technology, computer has become a no more common communicative instrument, which plays a significant role in contribution to people's daily communication,to name one noticeable aspect is that equipped with this vehicle, we are able to keep in touch with others more convenient as well as frequent. It's an undeniable fact that on the grounds of this technology, our ways to interact with others has been subjected to numerous changes. Taking a look around your life, you can find instances too plentiful to list. On the one hand, typing the messages through the keyboard completely takes the place of paper writing, especially on occasions when people want to confide some things to their friends, there is no necessity for them to write them in paper or look for their phones to make a phone call. Type it in a short text by QQ or email is extremely more convenient when they are engaged in busy works. However, greater emphasis should be laid on its immeasurable negative effects. What we fail to recognize is that owing to its more and more frequent appliance in our daily life, people are adaptable to this mechanical way than talk with people face to face. As a consequence, the original warm relationship among people has been apparently ruined for a lack of opportunities to interact with people .What's worse, some of them who stick to the computers are not in optimistic purpose for their work or study, instead, they gradually become addicted to the computer games and can't pull themselves out of the abstract world, in other words, they will become the slaves of the computers.

From my point of value, we should adopt an objective attitude towards this issue. At fist, we should make the best of it to bring benefits to human's life. However, despite the convenience, we ought to pour more attention to protecting ourselves from its harmful influence. Take the essence and discard the dregs.Only when we have a clear mind of it, can we really be the beneficiaries.
