People are too dependant on computers now a days

Thank you for responding firstly to my debate about technology. I'm glad you find it interesting enough to respond in timely manner. I realize that my first statement didn't cover to much information about why I think computers are "bad", so let me try again with some more input about my opinion and maybe people can realize where I am coming from when I say people are becoming way too dependant on computers and the programs they provide for us. For example when you walk into your doctors office every person has a computer on their desk and that's how they check you in. but what happens if the computer crashes? what happens to all your personal information saved on the computer at the doctors office. It's just floating there in cyberspace waiting for a computer hacker to come and find it. Of course your going to say there is always fire walls or other programs that protect your computers but how long will those last? How do we know if people are still hacking into our computers without us knowing about it! These doctors offices rely on the computers to always be there for them. so point number one is: Since we rely so heavily on computers for work, school, homework, and recreation what would happen if the Internet connection was lost in today's world. I don't think people would have the books and papers they could use instead. The world would simply come to a halt with no where for people to turn to "Google" and search what's wrong? Although, the Internet does allow us to rapidly get information and check in patients at the doctors office. There is always other ways of doing such things. Ways that don't involve the computer and like paper and pencil or an organized chart where you place a check mark when you arrive in the office. The newspaper is also an excellent way to find out what's happening each day in the city and internationally without it costing you a lot. The information comes out daily and can also be delivered right to your door step. Which brings me to point number two: You said that that emails and IM'ing is quicker and you can receive them within minutes from sending them. I do believe that although letters can be received quicker they are much more sentimental than an email. Letters can contain pictures, stickers, and also small gifts from the heart where as a email just is black and white writing with small detail. It takes you along time to write the email that is true, but it doesn't always have the same feeling because spell check can rephrase paragraphs and fix grammar where as a letter just presents it how you wrote it. I personally still have the letter my friend sent me from Africa four years ago, but I definitely don't have an email from a family member from more than a month ago. Email accounts get full and who really saves emails on to CD ROMS. Hopefully this is more helpful in the way of proving my point to you and the readers. and just a random comment before I sign off this while I was typing this paragraph the computer screen turned blue and then decided to shut down at it's own pleasure. Just saying if we were writing this through a letter I wouldn't have had to retype this comment a second time, because the computer crashed. (but I'm just saying...)
