What effect does moving away from computers and towards tablets and smartphones have on how we browse the Internet?



What is computers and tablets and smartphones? Computer is an electronic device that is designed to work with Information. A tablet is a wireless, portable personal computer with a touchscreen interface. The tablet form factor is typically smaller than a notebook computer, but larger than a smartphone. A smartphone is a cellular telephone with an integrated computer and other features not originally associated with telephones, such as an operating system, Web browsing and the ability to run software applications. Now compare the characteristics of this technologies.
Power:
-More powerful computing processors typically require greater amounts of power and cooling. Computers are equipped to provide these requirements for processors, thus being able to feature higher computing power overall.
-Smartphones are more compact and do not have the capability of providing the amount of power and cooling that more powerful processors require. They are limited to lower voltage processors, although processors of this type are becoming more advanced and powerful.
-Tablets are much more compact and cannot offer the same amount of processing power as a high-end computer.

Cost:
-Prices for a computer (desktop or laptop) can vary widely, depending on its capabilities, storage, and other features Prices can range from ₮400000 to 10000000
-Cell phones, specifically smartphones, can vary in price based on power and various features, but not as much as computers. Prices can be ₮10000 to ₮2000000 in most cases with a contract.
-Tablets can also vary in price based on power and various features, but not as much as computers. Prices can be ₮300000 to 1500000 in most cases, with a few models ranging up to $600 to $800.

A lot of people say about the effects of technology on communication. Do you agree or disgaree?

Technology such as email, Facebook, Twitter, My Space, YouTube, Instagram and many other sites are all amazing tools that have the intent to bring interconnectedness around the world. Everything has two sides, and the ‘effects of technology on people’s relationship’ is not an exception. In my opinion, technology has affected and transformed our life aspects and dealing with other people in a good way. Recently, we have different fast and cheap methods to call our family and friends. Moreover, some technologies are giving us chances to see and talk with them at the same time. In addition, we are informed on a daily basis with the last updates and news about our friends and family, so we can remember the birthdays, graduation parties and even marriage anniversary. Furthermore, these methods make it faster and easier to call and congratulate another individual. Human life has become more convenient, this provides people with more opportunity to spend their leisure time with their kin. For instance, with the Internet, we can shop and work from our dwelling house without going outside anymore. Secondly, travel around the globe has become usable and cheap. As a result, people visiting each other and spend a lot of time together hence more connected society emerges.That is positive side.  On the other hand, many people believe that technological aspects are affecting individual relationship badly. They opine that, if we did not have these kinds of technology, we would have been visiting each other regularly. Overall, as far as I am concerned, the advancement of technology has both positive and negative effects on the kind of relationships people make. We have to be aware that actual interaction is more important to enhance a relationship. We shall connect with family and friends virtually only if we are apart from them. (251)

In my opinion computers have made life easier
Some people say that the invention of computers is one of the greatest humankind's inventions. However, other people think that computers make their life more stressful. I agree with those people who think that computers brought many benefits and play a very important role in our modern life. Computers have many advantages. Computer help you. For example effective communication and it makes our communication easier. The internet and e-mail save your time. We do not have to wait days and months to get a reply. Computers life more convenient everyday. Internet and computers increases our friends and colleagues. We can go banking, do online shopping by sitting at home. Computer refresh our knowledge. Many years ago people to wait for the next day to get newspaper. We get all updated news online. In my opinion computers two side. Computers have made our life more complex and stressful. The computer is dangerous for youngsters. Nowadays computers have a lot of games about war and zombies. Doctors think that games like these can change their mind to have negative impressions and thought. However computers make people happy, but on the positive side. Positive side is many. For example if you work on some documents, you can do lightly videos with computer helps. Next positive side is you can save some documents or pictures which are valuable for you. Music, movies, computer games and websites that we enjoy using a computer are meant to entertain us, not to increase our stress level. It has made around the world. For example, it is convenient to sit at home and do research on the internet with your computer. Your computer is open 24 hours a day, unlike a library or office. You can get the latest news right and get it more quickly and conveniently. This example makes it clear that it is possible to get almost any kind of information from anywhere. I believe near future by computers you can do almost everything. Computers are very important part of my life. (263)
