Well, the answer is yes to both. Today, computers are a necessity . All most any job description includes computer skills. Stores in the malls are run on computer systems, most vehicles have computer technology and even teachers require students to have access to computers for assignments. Computers are a communication resource.
People send and recieve mail on computers using the super-highway, the internet .
Communication has become faster than ever with computer technology. Many things can be traced and followed using more advanced technology . Not everything is confidential on the internet, so the privacy levels are not as high. The internet is an open space, available for freedom of expression and that includes pornographic and violent sites. Parents are overly protective and the government has not found legal ground to overstep a person's right to freedom of speech, what the First Amendment grants every American citizen.
