Helen: I was wondering how your new job was going. You started last month, didn’t you?
Ruth: Yes, that’s right. To be blunt, I thought it was going to be more challenging. I’m bored most of the time. I spent most of last week just photocopying.
Helen: Did you? I thought you loved it there.
Ruth: Well, the people are great. But I can’t stand my boss. He never listens to us. Look – I’ve got a photo of the team on my phone.
Helen: You’re in the countryside, aren’t you?
Ruth: Yes, we had a team-building day and did lots of activities like kayaking.
Helen: Is that your boss in the middle?
Ruth: Yes! Judging by his expression, I’d say that he wasn’t enjoying himself as much as we were!
Helen: May I ask if the salary is OK?
Ruth: It’s OK but you need more than a good salary to be happy at work, don’t you?
Helen: Absolutely! I’ve never been that keen on working for a big company. I’d rather work for a charity or for myself …
My point of view is the following. Firstly, the computer informs us about various things. Secondly, you can travel to different countries and at the same time sitting in front of a computer screen. It is very comfortable. Thirdly, you can use a distance learning. This is a great leap of progress.
But some people are against computers. Firstly, they thought that we can work without computers, because it breaks our eyesight. Secondly, we get a lot of unnecessary information, for example — a promotion. It distracts when you are so busy.
But I do not agree with this people. To preserve the health, you should: firstly, ventilate the room; secondly, take a timeout. That you do not get useless information, you can change the computer tuner.
All in all, I want to say that I am for computers. I believe that computers can materially do our work easier and make people more educated. Our future is in our hands.
