Technology angel or devil?

I believe most of us would have heard of hi5. Then came Frienster. Next up Facebook. And now Twitter. Furthermore, as we progress, more and more IT products are introduced into the markets.

Have we become too reliant on the computer, our handphone, our laptops, and other machines? Maybe we have become over reliant on these products. But then again, these products ease many inconveniences. And they allow us to complete our work in a timely and more organised manner.

Then again, not everyone is open to learning new information relating to IT. Maybe you might not be that IT savvy but you have to at least know the basic functions of a computer in order to survive in the working world nowadays. If not, very soon you'll be left far behind everyone else. Too far behind to catch up.
I strongly believe that we have to constantly update ourselves with the uses of the new IT products, be it the MP3, the radio, earphones, TV, hard disks. Without these, how else are we going to create presentation slides, record voices, etc?
Obviously, knowing how to use the usual windows programs is not enough.

The internet has become an efficient tool for effective communication when verbal communication is not convenient due to time constraints. But many a time, inconsiderate computer geeks create viruses to stop the momentum of the development of the internet. But at the same time, creat opportunities for computer geniuses to save the computer programs and even invent new programs to combact the "deadly viruses" .

SO IS IT AN ANGEL OR DEVIL?
You decide.
