Should computers be crucial role in society and our life?

Let's imagine one day, there is no electricity so you can't use computers any more, and what would happen if all the computers suddenly crashed? In present day, we live in the age of technology so the computer has become a part of life for one and all, from kids to the elderly; all have some need for the computer. Moreover, today there are computers almost everywhere. There are computers at the stores where we shop and almost every place we go to buy things. There are even computers in almost every house. In today's society, computers are becoming more powerful and much prevalent to our daily life. The scare of an enormous computer crash at the end of 1999 as a result of the year changing to 2000 should be evidence that most people and most businesses were very dependent on computers. From my point of view, I think that we are not too reliant on computers and many of us consider them as tools that support for our life. Let us cover the usefulness of computers in three areas of applications. Computers play a crucial role in many different domains such as: the banking system, the military, and our daily life.

Computers are used in banks for a variety of reasons. "You cannot easily backup every piece of paper you own and carry it around with you, but you can if it is on computer", R Knott said. Actually, they help bank personnel operate more efficiently. Computers are used to track certain transactions and they help process other customer information as well. Without computers, it would be very hard for a bank to offer good customer service day in and day out. Computers help a bank save time and money, and can be used as an aid to generate profits. Computers have given the modern military a degree of efficiency and effectiveness that has completely changed the way the military operates at sea, in the air, and on the ground. The fast computational abilities and the accuracy of digital computing enable the military to perform more quickly with less risk to themselves and with less cost to their government. Finally, computers have found their way into just about every aspect of our daily lives, and in most cases, they make things easier for us. They allow us to work from home and socialize with our friends and family who live too far away to visit. They provide an ever-welcome stress relief when we come home from school or work and just want to have some fun.

In response to the first argument: Banks use computers to track customer information such as name, address, phone number, date of birth, Social Security number and place of employment. What happens if the computer server loses data or they fail to work? All of customer's information will be lost. "Employees don't know what goes on behind the screen and consequently without the computer they are lost", Dave S said. The bank employee can't control customer's account and total balance. Moreover, everything will become complex because a customer's account number is also stored in the computer, so bank employees cannot access customer information efficiently and it would be difficult to keep track of the data. To prevent this trouble, the bank back up the data. "There must always be back up systems for when things go wrong", JN said. This duplication is necessary because
