They're good and handy all right, computers I mean! Do wanders for keeping the children quiet, for the latest recipes and to contact the relatives on the other side of the world! Negative sides abound though, square-eyed children and endless privacy destroying spam to name but a few!

At the moment computers are still novel and are expanding in ability at a faster rate than the average mind can take-in! Maybe in the future when search engines stop producing reams of 'unwanted results', when parents can prevent abusers from accessing their offspring and when spam is once again between two slices of bread then computers will be good!

The computer needs to change from being a toy, entertainment device or escape from life to being a household tool, something that is useful but just another part of life's merry-go-round! Like a washing machine for example, fill it up and switch it on but don't watch it go round.
