Computers are useful machines. They can help people a lot in their daily life. For example, they can help people to save much time to do more work, and they can help people to work out many problems they can't do easily. Our country asks everyone to learn to use computers before the twenty-first century, except the old people.
Today more and more families own computers. Parents buy computers for their children. They hope computers can help them improve their studies in school. However, many of their children use computers to play games, to watch videos or to sing. The teachers and parents complain that computers can not help children to study but make them fall behind. So computers are locked in boxes by parents.
In some other countries, even some scientists also hate computers. They say computers let millions of people lose their jobs or bring them a lot of trouble. Will computers really bring trouble to people or can they bring people happiness?

According to a 2018 study from San Francisco State University， nearly 2． 4 billion people around the world used a smartphone in 2017． By the end of 2019， more than a third of the global population will be using a smartphone．
However ， smartphone technology can be a double ﹣ edged sword ．On the one hand， it sends us unlimited amounts of information． On the other hand， using a smartphone may become an addiction．
Erik Peper and Richard Harvey are both health education professors at San Francisco State university． They led the study． Peper explains that smartphone addiction forms connections in the brain that are similar to drug addiction． And these connections form slowly over time． Also， addiction to social media may affect our emotional state． The two professors asked 135 university students about their habit of smartphone use and their feelings． They found that students who used their phones the most reported higher levels of feeling lonely， depressed and anxious．
Peper and Harvey do not blame users for their technology addiction． They believe it is the tech industry's desire to make more money that is to blame for the technology addiction． The researchers warm that workers in the technology industry know how to control our brains and turn us into addicts．
But the researchers say that we can limit our brains to be less addicted to our phones and computers． Erik Peper suggests timing off our phones before we sleep or do something important． The researchers also suggest taking control of when and where you answer texts or emails． You do not need to answer them all． And you certainly don't need to answer them as soon as you get them． They also suggest putting limits on the time you spend on social media．If you want to catch up with friends on Facebook，set aside a small amount of time to it．you should focus on important tasks and do not allow technology to disturb you．

The pencil is a very simple object． However， it took hundreds of people over centuries to make it what it's like today．
The story of the pencil starts with graphite（ 石墨）． People cut it into small sticks and use them to write or draw． Around 1560， an Italian couple named Simoni and Lyndiana Bemacotti added wood holders to the graphite sticks． However， since the graphite is too soft， the pencils were easy to break．In 1795， in France， Nicolas﹣Jaoques Conte worked out a method of mixing graphite powders with clay（黏土）． In this way， people made strong pencil core（铅笔芯）， To this day， the method is still used in making pencils．
It was Henry David Thoreau who came up with the grading scale（分级量表） for different hardnesses of pencils． It was graded one through four， and grade two is the proper hardness for general use． The softer the pencil is， the more graphite it has in it， and the darker the line is． The harder the pencil is， the more clay it has， and the lighter the line is． Nowadays， pencils marked 2B are usually used in exams to mark answers． Pencils marked HB are usually used in daily writing．People usually use pencils of different hardness and blackness to draw different parts of a picture．
When pencils were handmade， they were made round． Then an American Joseph Dixon developed machines to make pencils． Later people found out itwas easier and less wasteful to make a pencil which has six sides．
There is a pencil for everyone and every pencil has a story． The Blackwing 602 is famous for being used by a lot of writers， And then， you have the Dixon pencil company． It's what people think of when they think of a pencil and what they most probably will buy when their children are about to write．
In my opinion， there's nothing that can be done to make the pencil better than it is．
