▶ Your Answer : Some people think that technology is just a tool which makes people's life more complicate. However, in my opinion, technology is an important means that helps our life simplify. This is because development of technology leads to significant changes in the way of shopping as well as receiving an education, and such changes consequently make our lives easy and convenient. To begin with, people today can do the shopping easily by using technology such as e-commerce. This is due to the fact that today online shopping has made it possible for us to sit at home and buy almost everything we want with just a few clicks. According to a survey conducted last year by the Korea Communications Commission, the survey shows that more than 60 percent of Internet users 12-years-old or over are using some online shopping. Interestingly, the researchers believe shoppers will also stick to online shopping even though the economy is in poor shape. This implies that people prefer buying things online due to the easy of use. On top of that, advances in technology like the internet resulted in revolutionary changes in education. This is because the internet allows student to conduct research easily and quickly and makes online courses possible, which are beneficial resources for students with busy schedules. For instance, when I was elementary school student, I had to go an institute to learn about something like english or science. On a rainy day, It was too inconvenient to go there. In contrast, these days I can access to online education programs and take lessons. As a result, I have a wide variety of learning opportunities from the comfort of my home. To sum up with, development of technology enables people to enjoy an easy and convenient life particularly in terms of shopping and education. In this regard, I think technology is a necessary tool for a more simple life. |
