Philosophically speaking, they do both. They help in that they make things easier, open new doors, and make things possible that are not otherwise possible. However, they also cause harm in that they create dependence on computers, make it easier to destroy information, and make it easier to control the public. People talk about the NSA and world policing, but we already voluntarily give out private information and use social networks to tell on ourselves.

A possible problem is an EMP attack. People are going paperless and bookless. As more and more books are taken to landfills, we become more vulnerable to electromagnetic pulse attacks. All it would take is a few small nuclear explosions or just a few targeted EMP attacks to send the world back to the dark ages. If all computer circuits are destroyed, then so is the power grid. With no power, there would be no way to access even the few computers that by chance did survive. If all the information needed is on computers and there is no way to use the computers, there would be no way to gain the information needed to reestablish power. But then since refrigerators use electricity, a lot of food will go bad and hunger will take place. With hunger, there will be lawlessness. People would kill each other to eat if they became hungry enough.

What are the Conclusion of five generations of computers?

First Generation (1940-1956) Everything started with vacuum tubes. These were widely used in the first computer systems for circuitry, while magnetic drums were used for memory. Second Generation (1956-1963) Next, there was the introduction of transistors, which came in to replace vacuum tubes. ... Third Generation (1964-1971) Third-generation computers were where we saw the introduction of integrated circuits (IC), which are still in use today. Fourth Generation (1971-2010) In the fourth generation of computers, the invention of the microprocessor (commonly known as CPU) helped to get computers to the desk and, later, lap-size that we ... Fifth Generation (Present Day) Although we are still using technology from the fourth generation of information technology, we are now going into a new age: the fifth generation.
