Before we go on with the topic there is something to clear up.
As

with all due respect i find this question to be a little absurd ... simple reason computers are 1 device doing a hell lot of things so obviosly people turning towards computers is more

Why? For one, the debate she has initiated is very understated and naive (I am trying not to be harsh, and no hard feeling at all Neha, really
).

Neha, you must first decide and define what you mean by 'Dependence' or 'Computers'? Computers as in home? Offices? Factories, Space Shuttles?? Above you had used the words organizations and people. The uses of computers in both areas are very different. Next, how would you define 'good'?
How far you go in making your life easier by using computers might be different for different people.
Your debatable topic is excellent since I too had stated the same fact in my
NOW & NEXT Digit-all 2007 (Link) under Lifestyle Next_. Here is an extract:
...The new times are making us more comfortable and ‘content’ but with a price. Couch potato is a familiar term and we all know it affect us with increasing ease of technology. I am really afraid to predict the future where we have personal robots, automated homes and human-machine interface. Maybe we will just lie down and live our lives (If it’s ok to call it a “life”). Visit office from home; get food by robots, open windows/doors with the mind, brush teeth, automated flirting algorithms, and more scary automated ’stuff’!...
So well, it may not be computers at all that screw our lives. It just might be our inherent human nature to strive for comfort. And hence because of technology we will attain it so much that we might, eventually, not exist physically, but just as cyber-beings!

P.S: For the above 'spat exchange' I am itching to blame no_atkt for bringing in 'OSS' and Desijays for stretching the rubber-band. Biggie lets have a new section called 'CE-Kindergarten' ^_^ (No hard feelings again )
