Cookies (on your computer, not actual cookies you eat) are files created when you access web sites. They work to help your computer load these web sites faster by storing some of the information on your hard drive, thus giving your computer less information to have to download from the site itself when you visit the site again. There are concerns though. Cookies keep a track of which sites you have been too and some information about what you have accessed on these sites, so privacy is one issue. Another issue is that some sites are not exactly trustworthy and their cookies can contain harmful information such as spyware etc.. They are also used in marketing. When you visit a site it may have access to your cookies depending on your browser settings, in which case the cookies can be read and they can zero in on something you may have looked at and market it to you on a banner or advertisement. If you need further information I will need a more specific question. Hope that helps.

What problems does a computer cause?
Computers do not cause problems; the human operators of computers cause problems. Though if you need an answer; in the beginning there were many concerns about computers and the Internet making libraries obsolete, and or literature altogether… And of course there will be future concerns such as advanced cyber terrorism, and of course there was Y2K, when people believed that computers would crash due to the turn of the centuries effect on the computer clocks... (It's moe complicated than that, but you get the point) but that's another question altogether… I hope I was able to answer a question and help you in some way, your question is very vague and therefore much more difficult to answer…
