Even viruses disturb us so much, then why we rely on computers so much.
Computers I guess do things that we are now too lazy to do ourselves, its like saying why do we have cell phones? I rely on the computers that are in my life, because otherwise my business would run too slow, orders would not be sent or received in appropriate time, and I guess that is the main reason behind most technology we have, is time. Everyone wants to move faster, get things done quicker, and one way to get things done without too much effort on our behalf is via computer. Forums, communicating, electronic business, banking, researching, learning (et al) would be slower and more effort would need to be used.
Thats my opinion anyway
