The history of computers can be traced back to nearly 4 centuries age, when a German scientist invented a mathine that used 17 weeks to do simple mathmatic. Nowadays, some people claim that computers have made life easier and more convenient, while others say that computer have made life more complex and stressful. In my opinion, I agree the former group of people. Since last century, computers had a rapid-speed development, and then computers had become an indispensable part of modern life, having tremendous impacts on nearly every facet of the modern society.
For starters, by using computer, people communicate in a faster, cheaper, more convenient, and more timesaving way. Before the invention of computers, people rely on letters or telephone to communicate. Or they see each other face to face. And now, people use email, instant messageing application and internet chat rooms to commuicate. Suppose you have a friend living in American but you living in China, which way is more convenient, by letter? Telephone? Or face to face? There is no doubt that they cost you much time and money. Nothing is more convenient expect the computer, by using it, you can talking with you far-away friend, even look at him/her by using video frequency, it make the commucation much easier and more interesting. And the computers are regarded as a intermedium to make new friends, who may live in your vicinity but you never have opportunity to know each other or may be form different regions even other countries.
Futhermore, people can gain a vast amount of information which they want by using computers. Before the age of computers, people looking for useful information or some important message by reading newspaper or looking for relative books in the library, which spent you so much time, and its not always effective. On contrast, if you access the web site of Google or BaiDu, and type in the key words of you wanted, it just take you one or two seconds to looking for the information. It can make the process no more a burdensome and time-consuming task.
In addition, computer is a excellent instrument for entertainment.  eople can listen to pop music legally downloaded form the internet, watch blockbuster movies online, paly electronic game. All of these can relax you, and release you form the boring work and study.

It let us make so many friends and by chatting with them, we can share their joy, know different costom, different viewpoint of looking at the world, which can open our eyes and mind to know the outside of ourselves' world.
