Over
the past years, people are increasingly dependent on modern
devices for completing various tasks in their live. The modern device which had
been used the most is the computer. A computer can be found in many
applications, one of which is the computer in which we write, listen to music
and play games. For example, the modern washing machine using a computer which
was programmed to wash clothes. Some industrial machinery also uses a computer
to move its components, since the use of computers can produce highly precise product
with less error. Another example is the
laptop, which is a simplified form of our computer. Laptop is a very popular, especially
for personal uses, because of its vast amount useful programs and its
simplicity.
A laptop inherited has one good trait
from our daily used computer, which is its vast amount of programs. We can use
its office program to write a paper and make a spreadsheet. We also can use
many of its editing programs to edit various types of files, from a picture to
a video. Furthermore, we also could relax by listening to music, watching movies,
and playing video games. The most important thing is we could use the programs
that we have to ease our work. Thus, we can conclude that a laptop has many
programs which are very useful, since the program could help us to accomplish
various tasks.
Another trait of laptop which
makes it popular is its simplicity. A laptop is not technologically simple;
however, it is simpler than most computers. It has a shape of a small box which
is as small as a big book; furthermore,
with its relatively light weight, one could bring his or her laptop around easily.
A laptop also has a simple interface, which can be mastered easily. Thus, the
simplicity of the laptop leads to its high mobility and easy use.
We now know that with laptop’s
vast amount of useful programs and laptop’s simplicity, it could help us and
ease our works. However, there is a new device that exceeds laptop’s simplicity
and mobility, which is the tablet computers, in cost of having much less useful
programs than laptop. Whether we would choose the laptop or the tablet computer,
or even the old computer, we must choose which one suit us the best, and we
must prevent our self from being consumed by the technology itself.
