Either ways, computers can be a topic for students in their speaking section. Let us have a look at some of the possible questions based on it and the possible answers.
Do you think computers help society?
I think, yes. Computers have truly transformed the way the world operates. So, for instance, if suppose someone from my family is in a problem and needs money, I can send them immediately over computer and internet. This was not possible sometime back. Also, it has provided millions of people with jobs. There are call centers, corporate world, wherein one can earn a decent salary, making people’s life better. So, if you look at a large picture, computers have truly rescued the society.
Do you think computers are bad for health?
I believe, over doing of anything is bad for health. Like if you are over eating medicines, you can die. The one thing that saves you can kill you. Computers have surely made people sit more and may be made them lathargic, but they have also made people do work quicker. So, one can always find time to exercise. Even more, constant staring at the computer screen tend to weaken our eyes, but I think if one takes proper precautions, there is nothing much to worry about.
Do you think computers have changed the world?
Well, yes. I think computers have truly revolutionized the world. From the way we communicate, to the way we learn to the way we pay bills or do anything, has changed completely. Earlier, people used to write letters to each other, now we are almost in a constant touch. There are no queues anymore, people are learning more and better. So, for instance, I can learn from the professors of Harvard sitting at my home and that to free. Computers have surely made our lives easier. I think there are certain issues along them, like health and time, but if one manages well, computers are truly a boon for all of us.
What do you mostly do in a computer?
I am mostly either coding or writing or using internet. I have a laptop which I carry almost all the time with me, so whenever I feel like writing I just open my Mac and start writing. You tube is the next thing I love to do in computer. Watching videos, especially documentaries by either BBC or discovery or fox life, makes my day and frequently do watch them. I even surf on internet for anything and everything. I think it is the combination of internet and computer that has become an indispensable part of my life.
How do you interact with your friends?
My job is such that I don’t get much time to meet my friends in the real world. But, I do make up for it by online communication, either on social media sites or using mail. I do prefer interacting with people and friends offline, but I think interacting online is a little more easier.
