However, using computers at work also 
has some disadvantages. One disadvantage 
is that it is not safe to keep all your work on 
a computer. Documents can get lost if the 
computer stops working. Also, people are 
losing their jobs because computers take 
their place at work.

tageous and disadvantageous. Despite the 
problems, however, I believe that they are 
an important tool at work and we should try 
to make the best of them.
