It is obvious that innovative technological advancements have made our lives more convenient and it never seems to fall backward. Also, within the similar characteristic organizations get so competitive that they try to create unprecedented products that have led to a great number of innovations. I believe it has been bringing more benefits to us in terms of sustainability and economic advantages, but we must not forget to deal with other side effects as well.
First of all, one of technological improvements has contributed to alternative resources replacing natural resources. Since natural resources such as oil, gas, coal, etc are limited, we have to search for substitutes not to deplete the earth and our lives. Those alternative resources are not only necessary to the demand of the humane but also to the preservation of nature. Without technological developments, there wouldn’t be any resource replacements and we won’t survive.
Secondarily, such high technologies help us save time and money. I do emphasize those merits giving a representative example, the appearance of internet. As being a employer, I never have enough time to go grocery shopping, so I have to take order goodies through a website. This convenient and easy method let me do my shopping whenever and saves my money too without traffic.
Contrarily, I notice there has been a defect caused by the appearance of high technology. Since MP3’s device like Ipod are, for instance, becoming widespread, downloading music throughout the internet is available instead of producing CDs. Here’s the occurrence of problem, infringement of copyright. It would not be illegal as long as people buy music with paying and protect its copyright.
In conclusion, more benefits such as sustainability and saving time and money than disadvantages, I strongly believe the necessity of modern developments. Moreover, when it comes to major roles of sustainability by replacing alternative resources, we have to have acted on this more progressively. If those innovations are built without violations against the laws, we can definitely make our lives better and leave as it is to the next generations. |
