On the other hand many jobs have been lost due to the fact that computer can do
a lot of tasks more efficiently than humans? This has led to high unemployment
in many countries. What are more kids if left unsurprised would spend all of the
ir time playing games on the computer rather than using it for educational purpo
se? Furthermore some people when working from home with computer are far more li
kely to feel cut off from rest of the world. If children are sitting in front of
the screen all day, they do not learn to share, wait they turn, or even somethi

THE DISADVANTAGES OF COMPUTERS IN SOCIETY
Less Human Interactions
Computers have made it possible for people to work alone on tasks on which they
would need to collaborate with others if they were to have to do them manually,
such as inputting figures in books of accounts. Because of this, the work enviro
nment in offices is such that all workers concentrate on just looking at the com
puter with little interaction with colleagues. Computers have therefore reduced
the level of interaction among people, which promotes an anti-social culture.
Health Hazard
Computers have often been associated with various health hazards. Most computer
screens are not fitted with an anti-glare element to protect the eyes. If you sp
end many hours continuously working on the computer you will likely suffer from
eye strain. Computers also cause back pain if your sitting position causes you t
o bend so as to see the screen properly.
Information Theft
One of the ways in which companies ensure they are ahead of their competitors is
by keeping information on their business strategies secret. However, computers
have made it easy for secret information to be stolen and leaked to competitors.
With information storage devices such as flash disks, a person can retrieve inf
ormation from a company's computer.
Demerits of computer
The computer is one of the most important inventions among all inventions that w
e use or view in this world but the computer still got various kind of demerits
in it. The computer has been the major factor due to which there arise various k
inds of problems. The computer got various kinds of applications and programs in
it such as games, internet browsers, editors, etc and these things attract peop
le to use the computer continuously but mostly it is seen in the youngsters and i
n growing children due to this nature of people, they suffer from eye problems an
d they mostly try to get involved in such thing and ignore various other things
like: - their studies, works and various other activities. The computers had mad
e people very lazy just because of the facilities that the computer had provided
them. As the computer had made various kind of work far easier than it should h
ave been due to which people have to contribute less effort to do various kind o
f work and mostly dependent on computers to perform various kind of work and all
these makes people lazy and on absence of computer there would be inefficiency
n job and consume long time to perform the same work.
Computer as computer has also many demerits individually and in the society. Com
puter can destroy the culture of a certain group of people in the society, espec
ially youths. Many of the youth uses internet computers to watch destructive pro
grams stored in the computer. Also some People can use computer for a long time,
without protection people can suffer eyes problem
Computer disadvantages are as follows; Violation of Privacy, it is crucial that
personal and confidential records stored in computers be protected properly. Imp
act on Labor Force, although computers have improved productivity and created an
entire industry with hundreds of thousands of new jobs, the skills of hundreds
of thousands employees are replaced by computers. Health Risks, prolonged or imp
roper computer use can lead to head injuries or disorders.Computer users can pro
tect themselves from health risks through proper workplace design, good posture
while at the computer, and appropriately spaced work breaks. Impact on the Envir
onment, Computer manufacturing processes and computer waste are depleting natura
l resources and polluting the environment.
Following are some of the major disadvantages of computer networks.
Security Issues: One of the major drawbacks of computer networks is the security
issues involved. If a computer is a standalone, physical access becomes necessa
ry for any kind of data theft. However, if a computer is on a network, a compute
r hacker can get unauthorized access by using different tools. In case of big or
ganizations, various network security software are used to prevent the theft of
any confidential and classified data.
Rapid Spread of Computer Viruses: If any computer system in a network gets affec
ted by computer virus, there is a possible threat of other systems getting affec
ted too. Viruses get spread on a network easily because of the inter-connectivit
y of workstations. Such spread can be dangerous if the computers have important
database which can get corrupted by the virus.
Expensive Set Up: The initial set up cost of a computer network can be high depe
nding on the number of computers to be connected. Costly devices like routers, s
witches, hubs, etc., can add up to the bills of a person trying to install a com
puter network. He will also have to buy NICs (Network Interface Cards) for each
of the workstations, in case they are not inbuilt.
Dependency on the Main File Server: In case the main File Server of a computer n
etwork breaks down, the system becomes useless. In case of big networks, the Fil
e Server should be a powerful computer, which often makes it expensive.
