These days, the computer technology industry is rapidly growing and changing. Along with that growth and change of computer technology are the people who almost instantly adapt to the changes.
Computer technology has made our lives a lot easier and convenient. For instance our banking needs. Years ago, people had to manually file the important data of their customers; now they just use the computer to find these data. In just one click, they would instantly find the name of the customer, the birth date, the address, e-mail address, phone numbers and etcetera. As for the clients of these banks, they can also easily get a quick look at their account balances through logging in to the bank website; in addition to that a lot of people are able to apply for a loan with the use of the computer.
Because of the birth of computer technology, we now have credit cards or what others call plastic money, which are very useful especially when we do not have cash on hand or when you are ordering a certain product through the internet. It's amazing how computer technology has changed so much our way of living. Nowadays, purchasing products such as cellular phones, bags, household utensils, and clothes or even paying the bills can be effortlessly done at the comfort of your own home.
With the use of the computer a lot of students especially those with unfortunate disabilities or severe illnesses are able to enroll to different schools through home schooling. Students are even able to take their examination tests or check out their grades by the use of the computer.
As far I know computer technology has helped a lot of businesses to better serve the community. But the computers have not only helped us in the business industry; it also has an effect on our communication systems. Long before the computers were born, writing letters were the main source of communication, which would be such a hassle most especially to those people who lived in far away places; plus telephones were quite expensive so people would pretty much prefer writing to their loved ones. And for that reason, people who are far away from civilization would really have a hard time communicating with others. Now, we have e-mails, and live chat, or even voicemails. We now already have video calling in which we would be able to see the person that we are talking to. This would be really great for people who have loved ones that are away from home. Getting in touch with one another is now a piece of cake.
Computer technology has changed our lives for the better. Without it, we would still be living in the pre historic times.

The effects of peer pressure
Teens want to feel accepted and they look to their peers to gain acceptance. The effects of peer pressure can be divided into two categories negative and positive. The positive effects of peer pressure are improving in school, increased confidence, and getting involved in other positive ventures. Negative peer pressure can cause lower grades, strained relationships, low self-esteem and poor choices.
The old saying birds of a feather flock together is so true because if you are not like your peers you hang with eventually hanging with them will cause you to think and act like them. This kind of behavior whether it is negative or positive affects your self-esteem in one way or another. Teens who want to have fun and become responsible adults should find other teens who want the same things out of life. There is nothing better than being with someone who has similar interest as you. Maybe you feel pressured to hang out with teens who think having sex, using drugs and doing illegal things are cool.
Always keep in mind that you will have to deal with the consequences. If you are having a hard time making friends and you make friends with peers who are drinking, smoking and doing other inappropriate things you may feel thrilled to be accepted. You may not have a clear picture of what your beliefs are because you want to fit in with the crowd. Teens that have low self-esteem are easy pickings for peers who want to drag you down with them. If you do not have confidence in yourself, you may feel insecure and you will always seek the opinions of others to determine your worth. This is a deadly cycle because eventually you will be an adult with low self -esteem. Your transition to adulthood is complicated enough so do not complicate your life more.
It is important that you learn how to love yourself unconditionally RIGHT NOW. There will always be people who will find something about you to talk about. Teens who have positive guidance from others overcome adversities. Surround yourself with people that think and act like you. Trust your inner voice because it tells you whether you are doing things because you want to or because your friends want you to. For some teens, there is a dilemma inside their minds. The desire to be accepted is so intense in their minds that they go against their natural instinct (gut feeling) and give in to negative peer pressure. As a result, there is teen pregnancy, truancy, drinking, drugs, sexually transmitted diseases and the list of negative outcomes is endless. These types of consequences can hinder your development or end your life. You have to trust your instincts and stay away from negative peer pressure because it will affect your future.
Living life as a teen does not have to be difficult. Sure, your hormones are out of control, but you can find clarity in knowing that if you want to enjoy your life you must find ways to feel good about yourself. Embrace your uniqueness and be whatever it is you dream you can be.
