    WHO unwavering public on the proposed enforcement of the laws controlling the misuse of the Internet. Debate about it among the prominent academic and community leaders are still there. They fear the possibility of supporting the children exposed to negative symptoms such as pornography, as well as widespread dissemination of articles and news defamatory or seditious.
    Computers can help us in doing all things. Almost all areas are not spared from the computer. Start of industries, medics, education and so on.
    Worst side (as well as the best side) of the computer Internet.
    Internet can help a person to see "the world" very quickly, looking for info, and search for job opportunities and so on.
    Internet can destroy morale if users do things like create a cyber attack, pornography, software piracy and so forth.

    Hi to all my friends and especially to our lecture Miss Sara. I think this is the second time I join this blog and thanks to Miss Sara because give chance to write my opportunity in colorful blog’s. I very excited to write in this blog when I read the title “Have computers change Malaysian society for the better or for the worse?”.

    First all I want ask to you all what is computer actually? From Historical Monograph: Electronic Computers Within the Ordnance Corps, a short definition of the computer is a computer is a programmable machine that receives input, stores and manipulates data or information, and provides output in a useful format. Now I wrote my opportunity about the title on this week event I think not all of you defend my thinking.

  3. Nowadays, computer is one important in our life. Why I said like that? This is because if we look around everyone has computer event children. Malaysian society is currently using the computer as an easy way of doing various activities in their lives. Using their computer will be able to learn a variety of the latest information on online only. With this they can save time by simply surfing the internet and only have to enter the portal that required only. As an example for those who have no time to read the newspaper every day just to enter in the space provided on the Internet. Apart from that, the computer also to some extent influence the daily lives when Facebook, Yahoo Massager, Tagged and other friends all the time without thinking about other things. This is because the portals are all people no matter whether old or young they get to more people no matter from within or outside Malaysia. With this exchange of information about the cultural way of life or customs of other countries to share and to increase knowledge of a person. I sight, people are also more com now focus on trading activities using the computer only. With this transaction activities can be carried out even outside Malaysia. For example, in Facebook now my range of scarves, clothing, jewelry and other assorted sold online and the surprising gain in online sales is higher than direct sales.

  4. But the uses of computers in society Malaysia now also bring a lot of impact on daily life. A significant change that I see is the neglect of the consumer computer. For example, is significantly different with Facebook, Yahoo Massager and the other one is more like chatting to treat regardless of other tasks that should be made. Apart from that, also for those who like to hang out in the heart of cyberspace is merely to serve the Internet without a purpose is a waste in my opinion. In the presence of a computer can change the attitude of a person to perform various actions that exceed the limit. Among them are spreading false information and the most significant is the pacification porn videos. This is an immoral act, when the computer is used for the facility was converted for personal use!.

    As a conclusion in my opinion the use of computers will bring a thousand advantages if used the right way and will give millions of disadvantages if used improperly. We are use computer and manage this technology so any effect from this is because ourselves only….That’s all…thanks a lot.

    P/s: I’m so sorry if my grammar is not good..(*^*) n SELAMAT BERPUASA N SELAMAT HARI RAYA

    Assalammualaikum wbt...
    Computer is commonly known as a device which shows a modernization in a society. In my opinion, Malaysian society gets many benefits from the introduction of computer in their daily life. As computer turns to be an important part in their life, to know how to use computer becomes a skill that they must have. From here, peoples could do their daily routine fastly and sistematically. Writing a letter, draw a charts and tables, even calculation could be done using computer. Calculation using computer, for example, allows people to count huge numbers, suitable for a project or business. Besides that, people also may create their own invitation cards for wedding or any ceremony. They just need to open Microsoft Publisher in their computer and create cards depends on their creativity. This may help to reduce the costs of producing it at any shops. Nowadays, with the absence of internet, Malaysians have change their way of shopping. They just sit in front of their computer, choose and order goods that they want, rather than facing crowds of peoples in shopping complex. Unlimited time of shopping makes it a better choice. Computer also plays a big role in the modernization of this country. Everybody relies on computers to help their works. Taking example of Selayang General Hospital. Every data, letters and any documents there are transferred and stored in computer. This is an effective way to save the spaces that usually used to store patients data, making it as a ‘hospital without papers’. Such hospital is needed to gives highest quality of health to the society.
    Unfortunately, together with all the benefits, comes also the worse. Computers, if being misused, may cause someone to forget thier rensponsibility. Playing computer games may cause a children tend to face the computer whole day long and put aside their study. Besides that, using a lot of computers may cause a lot of energy and power. It will become dangerous when the uses of the power is overload. The fire will happen cause from the the overload of power.

    So, the conclusion is the computer have changes the malaysia society in many way even for benefit or the worse. Now it’s up to the user how their use the computer to become for benefit way or for the worse way.
    That’s all....
    Selamat Berpuasa and Selamat Hari Raya to all my friend and especially to Miss Sara.....
    Maaf Zahir & Batin..

    In my opinion, computers change Malaysian society for the better even some people said that computers change Malaysian society for the worse. For me, computer is impact on society since it is introduction has indeed been significant but this significance has been both better and worse. It is depend on the user how to manage for better or worse. The computer connection with internet can constantly connected world in which employees no longer need be in their office at all and student can search their information about their study. The computer making our lives easier and it become a tool for shopping, learning, and spread information on a scale never seen before. The worse is students lazy to explore their topic for research and default with social network. It is also including identity theft and virus threat. I think the worse of computers can be avoided. In fact, computers are used in every aspect of life today. That’s all. Thank you.

    Each technology creates purpose to give easier & comfortable lifestyle. Acceptable or not the people yet must use it because towards modernization development. Malaysian society change for better with computer usage because help people especially in their job. With computer there is no more waste time. People not only focus on their job but can focus variable of things with the help of computer which change the society better.

    The computer is a device to access internet and the worse come from the internet. People misuse internet with surf pornography, spread virus, online black market and many more. Here, computer use is for the satisfaction. The society worse with affected the worse from internet. This targets teenager mainly because they is our future of anything. Their mental had affected worse thing from early age which support to worse behavior and attitude. If today society worse than the future society is much worse. The conclusion is better use of computer brings better effect.

    Nowadays, computer has become an integral part of our daily lives. An employees, students, salespersons, old peoples, young peoples, and even a kids are using a computer.But, have computers change Malaysian society for the better or for the worse?

    Actually, it has changed the society for both better and worse. If we take a look at our daily works, all of them requires us to use the computer or more specifically internet.By using computer and internet, we can manage and get our jobs or works done with ease and systematically.Also by using a computers,we can store a lot of important and useful information without worrying it will lost,misplaced or damaged.

    As for the worse side effect, computers sometimes can lead peoples to become irresponsible persons.By using a computers to play games or internet,we will eventually become lack of time sensitivity and so will carry nothing of our duty and jobs.Besides, computers can be misused by some peoples to create problems such as viruses, send false statements and untrue information throughout internet, pornography and many more.

    So, from my opinion computers have changed Malaysian society for both better and worse.It is no doubt depends on the users attitude on how to use it,whether for good or bad.
    That's all i can comment for now, thank u.

    Computers are useful like in business, in education,in home and make our life easy. The use of computer has reduced time span of many works. Any works can be done sitting in a place and pressing few keys. Computer has made it easier for people to communicate in addition to saving time and money. Moreover, a chance of miscalculation is very less if done with computer than with a human brain. As in business and education computer is useful at home. Leisure time of family members does not become burden. They can sit at a place and spend time watching any movies they like. Computer puts a stop to writing letter, posting it and waiting for the reply.
    Needless to say computer has numerous advantages. Nonetheless it has disadvantages too use of computer results into unemployment as computer can perform the duty that might need less workers. Unemployment is likely to result into crimes.More over, Internet, which is widely used to see pornographic scenes, corrupts the mind of teenagers.

    So…the conclusion is better or worse,it depends on the user..

    In my opinion, computers today are very useful, and it’s really an important thing to our daily needs of information. After all, it makes our life easier. Yes, it is undeniable that computers are important nowadays, if we use it wisely. But, if we looks on the other side, such as kids and teens now, what they’re doing today is just sit for many hours facing their or their parent’s computers playing video game, chatting and maybe open an illegal website. Unlike me, when I was a kid, I don’t even know what is computer. Hehehe.
    Now, when I am in young adult class, computer really help a lot on my work. But, as you can experience, computers also affects the studies of students.
    For example, they sometimes just copy and paste their work from the internet. I wonder if they understand their subject or not. Well, you can judge by yourself.
    So, either the computer change Malaysian society for better or worse, it depends on us how we deal with the computers. Thanks.

  12. Other than that, it also can make the society more exposed to what have happen in the outside world not just in Malaysia only. By using internet they can find many info and news. They need not to buy the newspaper anymore. They also can communicate with other people for around the world, from different countries through Yahoo Messenger, blog, twitter, and others. They can share the knowledge, culture, experiences and etc.
    Besides, computer can be “the foster of the contact”. For everyone especially students that stay or studies at oversea they can communicate with their loved family easily through web cam, Skype and others. They no need to write the letters that take quiet long time to receive. How far the live or travel, they still can contact and keep in touch with others easily.
    The using of computer also helps the society to become more advanced and well develop. Through internet they not only can find the job opportunities but also the can start the business. Today, we can see that many of the people that successes in their online business such as clothing, scarves, jewelry, home decoration, and others. They only need to publish their own website and exhibit their products. They can improve their way of live and at the same time it

    In my opinion, computer is very important to the community to be able to open the mind and knowledge in the use of computers. computers also provide opportunities for young people to learn the use of the Internet. Because of widespread Internet use, it can help all people understand what the computer.

    In addition, the use of computers can spend in leisure. This is because people do not waste time with symptoms that are not healthy as rempit, drug, and so on. Community may be able to educate their children in order not to divide the time involved in unhealthy social ills.

    World community can learn about the consequences of a computer or computer. This facilitates community problem on a computer or computer are damaged. In addition, the computer can be added if some people would finance repair and sell computers. Therefore, the government can provide opportunities for people to do business on the computer.

    But the computer also disadvantages to the community jiga society as fraudulent misuse of computer, surf the site should not be and others.

    For me, I could not agree when people can use computers from an early age so that the community can assist the government in the hapadan.

    It is sufficient here only to give my opinion and I want to wish Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri and Happy Independence Day.

    Thank you.

    Almost every home, office, or school has a computer of some kind these days. It may seems at first that having a computer brings only benefits, but further consideration shows that it also has disadvantages.

    Firstly, computers are very useful at school. It helps students to revise for tests or exams and makes subjects more interesting. Pupils can also learn new vocabulary and grammatical structures. It allows students to become familiar with operating a computer and gain basic computer skills. So that with students in university. They can do their assignment or homework using computer and also use some software which they installed in computer to do the homework or assignment. Students also can use internet to do group work as they are connected in internet to talk and discuss about group work like using yahoo messenger or skype or something else.

    People also can save a lot of time by using computers. This is especially beneficial in the workplace where employees can do their work faster than they could in the past and also use internet to connect, talk or discuss about work each other. From part of computer disk, it is one of the most efficient ways of keeping data. One computer disk can hold the same amount of information as several books.

    People can also communicate with other computer owners through the internet, which offers nowadays everything from making freefalls from foreign countries to doing shopping. So people do not need to go far away to any foreign country in order to shopping, they just can use internet to shopping.

    On the other hand many jobs have been lost due to the fact that computer can do a lot of tasks more efficiently than humans? This has led to high unemployment in many countries. The people from another country can use internet to search for jobs in our country which make many people in our country can’t get the job.

    Nowadays,computer has widely used among us.Students,lecturer,salesman,teenagers even kids today has know how to use it.

    There is no doubt that computer today has made our life is more easier.By using the computer, we can easily surf the internet,can looking for the job easily ,can find the source of information widely and many more useful things that we can do.

    Unfortunately,today people has misused computer for many bad things.Surf the pornography web,play games,send false statement,create problems to other people by send untrue information and others can lead people to become lazy and irresponsible.This show that computer has influenced us for bad things.

    So,from my opinion It depends on the users on how to use it,whether for good or bad.For kids,parents should watch their kids so that they not surf the unnecessary things.That's all i can comment for now.Thank you.

    For the people who are working from home with computer are far more likely to feel cut off from rest of the world. When they are just sitting in front of computer all day, they do not learn to share, wait they turn, or even something as simples as manners.

    Moreover, as a usual for children, they don’t know many matters and objects in life and they would like to try something they don’t know which they think they are interested. For example, children might be using the internet to access pornographic material. Children are also easy target for sexual offenders who chat online with them and then make plans to meet them or slowly filter information about them.

    Also frequent and prolonged computer session may pose physical health. Risk especially for children. The most frequently cited are visual strain, harmful effects of radiation and posture and skeletal problems. This disadvantage is from sitting in front of computer for a long time.

    So the computer give us many advantages if we all know how to use it correctly and efficiency and also it will change to disadvantages to us if we use the computer and internet in wrong way and methods.

    Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

    Salam Ramadhan to all TATiUC students. Today we were talking about having computer change Malaysian society for the better or for the worst. In my opinion, there were a lot of perceptions about this topic that we can share the information wisely. As long as we were using this facilities in a right path, we can change Malaysian society for the better way. Nowadays, Malaysian were exposed to the huge of computer usage. Commonly, students were already given this facility in managing their school life.

    The present global age is the consequence of the computer age. A computer is an electronic device that stores and processes data, according to a list of instructions. It allows a user to manipulate data easily. The speed of performance of a computer is incomparable. The computer and Internet have affected our way of working, communicating, playing and also writing. In fact, computers are used in every aspect of life today.

    Usually our Malaysian society were having their own computer to manage or make their life easily. A lot of benefit that I can share today which are using a computer, one can remain connected to the world through Internet. Internet is a network of computers that communicates via the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP). The World Wide Web (WWW) or simply web is a huge resource of information that can be accessed via the Internet. To mention a few of the resources, there are electronic mail (e-mail), file transferring and sharing, online chat and gaming. The Internet allows people from around the world to share knowledge, ideas and experiences in any field.

    Furthermore, computers are widely used for education and training purposes. In schools, computer education has been made compulsory to spread awareness about computers. As a matter of fact, computers have become a learning tool for children. Also, there are many universities that provide online degrees, which is very advantageous for those people staying in the remote areas and for the disabled. In fact, online education is one of the most flexible and convenient forms of learning. One can take the benefit of such online degree programs staying at home without the need of relocation. Computers are also used for training purposes. Many companies use them to train their staffs.

    Have computers change Malaysian society for the better or for the worse? In my own opinion, computer bring lot of advantages despite of disadvantages to Malaysian society. Computer makes everything so convenience, easy and everything can be done with a single click. From the bill payment to the university or college registration everything can be done with using internet on computer. Getting a job nowadays also can be done via internet and i think it is the popular method to get employed at this age. Its not too much if i said our life now are depends on computer and if the system or the computer break down for an hour, we will feel the effects, as an example, during have a bank matter, if the online system was broke down for a moment,everything will get delayed. Usage of computer also contribute to the development of country in every aspect and if i describe everything here it would be a very long essay.

    Furthermore, every Malaysian should know how to use computer and a little knowledge at least in computer because those who had no knowledge in computer might possibly be a victim of cyber crime and they can easily be cheat by these fraudulent.

    But, computer can bring harmful damage to society if it is be misuse. In term of internet usage as an example; we can everything through internet, it is world without boundary and with this new 'world' everything become easy access including pornography. Everyone can actually use the internet and can you imagine if a 7 years old kids browsing the pornographic material? Of course it will bring lot of damage to the kids and the society. Game in the computer also can give effect to the society in a bad way. Kids and even adults who addict to computer games usually do not have social life which means their life is infront computer only, they do not like to mix with the society.

    As a conclusion, without no doubt, computer will bring a lot of goodness if being use in good way but if we use it wrongly it surely can give bad effect to the Malaysian society.

    The argument about the most important invention in human history more often than not comes back to Gutenberg's printing press, and with good reason.The thing about the printing press isn't so much the technology itself, of course; knowledge is power and the ability to deny access to knowledge is the rarely acknowledged other side of that coin. All the knowledge in the world that has been both gained and denied since Gutenberg's invention has involved, in one form or another, the printed word. We've been hearing talk of the paperless society for about a decade now and it has yet to come anywhere near fruition. So, really, is there any possibility that the computer will one day actually replace the printed word? There are probably precious few people who would seriously question whether the computer is deserving of being honored as the most significant invention of the last century, but will it stand the test of time as the printing press has?

    The computer's impact on society since its introduction has indeed been significant, but this significance has been both positive and negative. The primary reason computers were invented was for their ability to solve complex mathematical calculations much more quickly than humans, and the effect of this can be seen in everything from space exploration to special effects in movies about space exploration. Following the personal computer revolution, promises hung as heavily in the air as a Dick Cheney lie that the computer would become as revolutionary an invention for every segment of society as the telephone or the automobile. In concert with that promise was the hope that the computer would go beyond those inventions by making every aspect of life simpler for everyone.

    Whatever the answer to that is, the computers are innocent. Computers are the most obedient things ever made, and everything they have ever done was dreamed up, planned out, and financed by people. Computers make the internet possible, including WikiAnswers and Google. Is that for the better? But they also make Spam possible, and viruses, and Nigerian money scams, and identity theft, and lots of bad things. So it's really, "Has what people dreamed up to do with computers changed society for better or worse?" I happen to think 'better' when you add it all up, but that doesn't mean you can trust everything that comes along that was made possible by computers.

    Computer is an important thing that every nation should have to develop their country because it is one of element that helps people to improve their life. Have computers change Malaysian society for the better or for the worse?
    In my prospective, begin 31th August 1957 until now Malaya have develop into new country name Malaysia which shown this county have rapidly changed by this machine of technology and it also effect to Malaysian society. As we know, Malaysia has built their own technology area that name Putrajaya that have the best facilities of technology. This shown Malaysian people already start to use computer as new technology that also change their way of life. Their job is more improve accurate, fast and many positive things than before. It means Malaysian people have change from skill worker to professional worker.

    In other side, computer also drive Malaysian people especially young people stay at home with their own computer where they being manipulate by computer’s game and social web site such as Facebook, Friendster, Twitter and many more than you can imaging.

    Conclusion is I can say computer changes Malaysian society for the better because from what we can see, there is so many achievement that Malaysian already made nor local either worldwide.
