Do I have to add ground to ym wiring?

I'm a novice at all this electrical stuff so please forgive me if I don't use the correct jargon.

I live in a 1950s house with two prong plugs galore. There is no ground. When we got Uverse installed, the electrician had to install a proper setup for my TV and computer. He also converted the plug by the sink to GCFI.

I would like to convert all my plugs to three pin plugs because it is a pain to use the adapters to plug in anything with three prongs.

Do I need to get the electrician to also add ground to all my plugs? I am hoping that someone can explain in simple terms why I should or should not.

TIA.
