▶ Your Answer : Various
opinions may exist on the argument that although science and technology will
continue to improve, the most significant improvement for people's living
quality has already taken place. As far as I am concerned, I am complete disagreement
with the argument. The two ideas stated below can be valid evidence to support
my view.
Above
all, science and technology will be continued for people's living quality
because new communication means have been emerged continuously. Over the past
few decades, various communication means such as SNS and smart phone
applications have been developed, all of which young people today use to gain
information. It makes young people more convenient. However, old people cannot
properly use it and find adequate information from it. A research conducted by
a renowned professor named Pall Waddell from Berkeley University indicates that
most people could not anticipate about new communication means expect for
telephones in the 1990s. However, the development of technology has been
continued, smart phone released in 2009. It changed communication means from
telephones to internet-based mobile phones. Also, these changes have helped
people's quality of life much better. Likewise, his research proved that my
argument is compelling.
On
top of that, new home appliance have been developed. With the development of
new technology, many home electronics have been emerged, which has incredibly
reduced the time for house chores. Consequently, people could be free from the
burden of unpleasant and time-consuming tasks, which means that people could
spend their valuable time on other important things. Let me bring up my
mother's story as an example. It used to take 5~6 hours for the average people
to wash their clothes when my mother was an elementary student in the 1980s.
Therefore, she had to spend her time washing clothes instead of studying after
school. However, these days, it just take less than 30 minutes thanks to an
electronic washing machine. She sometimes said that if an electronic washing
machine has existed when she was attending elementary school, she would have
enough time to study.
In conclusion, I disagree with the argument due to
the aforementioned reasons. Therefore, I think that people's quality of life
will be continuously improved following science and technology advance.
