i think the evolution of human-computer interaction(HCI) is good and bad at the same time.
the reasons it is good: with the help of the computers, life will be much easier to interact, find information and even to have fun. communicantion with anyone through computers will be sent in a matter of seconds no matter where the receiver or the sender is.
for information, a press of a button on wikipedia or google will get you hundreds of hits to find the information.
for fun and relaxation, there are all kinds of technologies to allow you to play for free.
As for the disavantages, to extreme use of computers will lead us to use or own brain less and become less smart
People may become so rely on the computers so much that when the technology is no longer used, they will be unable to do anything.
information on the internet is also not definitely reliable, as the computers can be hacked.
the internet may also possess 'bad' information that might affect us physically and mentally. therefore the internet and computer is both good and bad and i am still not sure which is it for the better or for the worse. :)
