Computer technology or basic needs?

Posted on at


Some people think that government should spend as much money as possible on developing computer technology or buying computers, While other think that government should spend money on the basic needs of their people.As far as I am concerned, this money should be spend on some more basic needs such as protecting the environment and improving public services.

In the first place, pollution of the environment has become the biggest problem in today's society.People will not find clean water to drink if they don't do some work to keep the water clean.There would be no fresh air if every one in the city drives a car to work.More and more animals are facing the danger of extinction because of the shortage of habitats.There would be no more wild animals if people continue to destroy forests.Therefore, there are more basic things that government should do such as keeping the water clean, keeping the air and fresh, and keeping the forests intact.

In the second place , there are many problems with the public transportation system in big cities. The buses during the rush hour are overcrowded ;some people cannot get to work on time because they spent too much time on the buses or trains.Government should spend more money to improve public transportation systems,which will benefit the people and the business in their cities.

From what i have discussed above, everyone can see that there are more things a government should do than buying computers, such as protecting the environment and improving public services.Therefore, I think governments should spend more money on the basic needs of the people instead of spending a lot of money developing computer technology or buying computers.
