Should governments spend money on computer technology or
more basic needs?
Should the governments spend as much money as possible on
developing or buying computer technology? Or should this money
be spent on more basic needs? A wise solution to this dilemma
depends on the circumstance. In most developing countries, money
should be spent on satisfying the basic needs of the people, instead
of on developing computer technologies. Unlike the people in
developed countries, those in some countries are stilling leading a
poor live, and are short of the most basic needs, food, drinking
water, medic care, and so on. In these countries, any government
with responsibility should spend as much money as possible on
providing the people with basic recourses. After all, the problem of
being alive is much more important than being equipped with
modern technologies, such as computers. However, this is not to say
that the development of computer technology is dispensable. On the
contrary, our society has seen a great importance of computers.
Nowadays, computers play key roles in every aspect of the society,
e.g. in industry, education, and public communication. Without the
help of computers, a modern society can hardly work properly.
Thus, it is definitely necessary for a government to develop or to by
computer technologies. Unfortunately, like other modern
technologies, the development of computer technology consumes a
tremendous amount of money. A regular personal computer costs
thousands of dollars. A huge computer, which can do ultra-fast
calculation, costs millions of dollars. What is more, the development
of such computers is a complicated session, generally takes over ten
years and a group of experts on computer sciences, meaning a great
amount of investments. Although being a mission consuming money
as well as time, the development of computer technology is
supposed to be taken good care of, as long as the basic needs of the
people have been satisfied. In sum, the appropriate choice between
these two options depends on whether the basic needs have be
satisfied. If no, the money should be spent to improve the basic
living conditions of the people. If yes, it will be wise of the
governments to spent enough money on developing or buying
computer technologies.
