DIGITAL COMPUTER:IMPACT TO SOCIAL SCIENCE

This research was about how computers have affected the world of Social Sciences. Sociology, psychology, economics, political science, history, or anthropology is some of the examples of Social Science. Computers have varied advantages and dis-advantages in different kinds of Social Sciences. Dis-advantage is merely on the null hypotheses testing where researchers have to go on reading and checking the printouts to check if the level of significance of correlations were substantial. But, mostly computers have been a great help in the Social Science field. Computer is a more efficient research assistant and a good teaching stuff. It can be a librarian who patiently searches for significant records, a bank manager who keeps numerical files, and a fast electronic mail system that tracks your friends and family members throughout the universe with the help of the World Wide Web (WWW). Forums and chat rooms on the Internet also make discussions a more encouraging way for students to interact and share their own opinions. Well, personally I could testify that computer has really become a great help to everyone and especially to me. It makes my work faster and easier. The World Wide Web has become a reliable source of information especially to students like me. I think it’s in with us on how we take the effects of computers in our lives. With proper usage this dis-advantages can be solved and this advantages can be properly utilize. It may have good and bad effects but still we cannot deny its contribution in the improvements in our ways of life nowadays. We should just be responsible enough for our actions and be careful in what we do.
