Ex 3. indicate the correct answer to each of the questions that follow.
The last two decades have seen enormous changes in the way people's lives are affected by IT. Twenty years ago few people
had access to a computer while today most people use them at work, home or school and the use of e-mail and the Internet is an
everyday event.
These developments have brought many benefits to our lives. E-mail makes communication much easier and more
immediate. This has numerous benefits for business, commerce, and education. The World Wide Web means that information on
every conceivable subject is now available to us. Clearly, for many people this has made life much easier and more convenient.
However, not all the effects of the new technology have been beneficial. Many people feel that the widespread use of e-mail
is destroying traditional forms of communication such as letter writing, telephone and face-to-face conversation. In addition, the
huge size of the Web means it is almost impossible to control and regulate. This has led to many concerns regarding children
accessing unsuitable websites and viruses. Unfortunately, this kind of problem might even get worse in the future at least until
more regulated systems are set up.
In conclusion, developments in IT have brought many benefits, yet developments relating to new technology are likely to
produce many negative effects in the future, and they must be addressed if we are to avoid damaging impacts to individuals and
society.
