The last two decades have seen enormous changes in the way people's lives are affected by IT.
Twenty years ago few people had access to a computer while today most people use them at
work, home or school and the use of e-mail and the Internet is an everyday event.
These developments have brought many benefits to our lives. E-mail makes communication
much easier and more immediate. This has numerous benefits for business, commerce, and
education. The World Wide Web means that information on every conceivable subject is now
available to us. Clearly, for many people this has made life much easier and more convenient.
However, not all the effects of the new technology have been beneficial. Many people feel that
the widespread use of e-mail is destroying traditional forms of communication such as letter
writing, telephone and face-to-face conversation. In addition, the huge size of the Web means it
is almost impossible to control and regulate. This has led to many concerns regarding children
accessing unsuitable websites and viruses. Unfortunately, this kind of problem might even get
worse in the future at least until more regulated systems are set up.
In conclusion, developments in IT have brought many benefits, yet developments relating to new
technology are likely to produce many negative effects in the future, and they must be addressed
if we are to avoid damaging impacts to individuals and society.
