Honest reply... I think that computers have both positively and negatively impacted society.

On the positive side, we get to hear perspectives of people other than those in our immediate vicinity. We have the opportunity to develop a more global view of the world, and form relationships with people that we would never have had the chance to meet otherwise. As well, the wealth of information that is open to us is enormous.

On the negative side, are the dangers to kids. Chat rooms, internet porn, our kids are being exposed to a lot of things that our parents (at least my generation) didn't have to worry about. Add to that, that the population is becoming largely less active, kids play too many computer games, watch too much tv and spend less time outside than they did. It's another excuse to sit idly.

Well I was gonna post my views but it would seem Nikki beat me to it, could'nt agree more on all points :)

Good post :)

Jonno :cool:

I think it's possibly Stephen King's best book, mind I formed that opinion when I was about fourteen. Looking back, his books are rubbish.

I'm not sure how it impacted on society at large but it gave me a slight phobia of clowns, I'm over that now :ermm:
