Technology has been developing very fast and has made day to day life easier and more convenient. These days, a growing number of people are eager to experience new technology and it is true that we live with technology which has become helpful as well as indispensable.Technology has both advantages and disadvatages depending on how it is handled. Some people might say that it can bring harmful effects when we overuse it. However, I believe we can obtain abundant benefits when we regulate the use of technology for proper purposes. It has a significant influence of people.
First of all, the advent of digital technology has created new way of communication. This is largely because many electronic devices, such as telephones, mobile phones and computers, are able to keep a conversation between people. These useful tools facilitates people's communication frequently because it is easier to send an email than to write a letter and it is very convenient to call people rather than to meet them in person. Moreover, the increasing frequency of contact leads to closer social relationships. This is an example of how people are able to enter the Internet community via websites such as Facebook, Myspace and Cyworld. These websites provide people who want to show their pictures and everyday affairs to their friends. Joining these websites, we are able to make communication with others more freely and easily.
What is more, the advancement of technology has given everyone convevient access to a wealth of information on the web. The Internet is a highly valuable tool because it allows people to attain information not just quickly but easily . In particular, the Internet has given students quick and ready access to various sources of information. For example, when I was a senior in college, I had to write a graduation thesis. Searching for material on websites, I was able to view vast amount of information about my major at home without driving to the library. In addition, compared to book, websites contain more up-to-date information. Thank to the Internet, I received the best grade on my graduation report.
In conclusion, over the past decades, the most significant contribution of technology has been to make people's lives more comfortable. I strongly believe technology play a decisive role in making the world a better place to live. |
