Your Answer ▼ It is no doubt that the advancement of modern technology has contributed to the comfortable lives of humanity from the ealry 19th century to this day. Computer network and telecommunication technologies have helped people around the world communicate with each other at a low price and fast speed. This has some advantages and disadvantages in two views. So, I will look at these parts in detail.
First of the views, there are some advantages on the development of state-of-art communication technology. Companies could more easily and conveniently run their business throughout the world than in the past as working by using a computer connected to the Internet. For example, mutilnational company could make an important decision with abroad subsidiaries, joining the teleconference. It is possible for executives and employees not to spend a lot of time on the road or in the sky to go to the meeting spot. In another example, some companies appear to save their office operating cost as encouraging employees to work at home. The workers could share business ideas and submit reports to their supervisors in the Internet Web Office on the Internet at home. On the other hand, some people have a negative view that this betterment of the technology has undesirable influence on the culture and communities, especially children. Although all countries have been worried about illegal materials such as excessive violence, sexual contents or nudity as well as they have strived to remove them on the Internet, they have not been able to take any actions. The reason for this is because the spreading rate of them is significantly fast and the Internet is a cyber space where ensure anonymity. As a result, according to the report on the Ministry of Education and Science, the juvenile delinquency rate, exposed to the violent and sexual contents online, are considerably higher than did not. This means that the children commited a copycat crime after they accessed to the violent and lascivious data without any censorship and learnt them on the Internet.
To conclude, advanced communication technology has not only resulted in improving business efficiency, but it also has made workers to maintain their work-life balance. However, teenager has negatively been affected from a wide range of illegal information and data. I firmly believe that If those contents were properly controled and were screened from children, the technology would become a more innovative and efficient instrument for human. |
