▶ Your Answer :
Nowadays, people are in more convenient society than the past. It is because the development of technology and science. Some people say that lives in today is not comfortable because lots of thing such as cell phone, the Internet were invented so it is stressful to learn all about it. However, I totally disagree with the idea. I think that modern people can live easier and more comfortable than the past. My point of view can be discussed in two perspectives: the development of technology and medical.
First, today, life is easier than the past because of lots of technology. New technology makes our lives more conveniently. For example, computer makes people get lots of information without going to the library. Also, computer and cell phone make people contact other people easily anywhere. So people can develop relationship among family members and friends. However, in the past, the ways to communicate was send a letter. The letter took lots of time because there was no systematic delivering system like today. On the other hand, today, people can send and receive message easily using Internet, cell phone. For example, one day my family went my grandparents’ house. The house is far from the city so they are hard to contact new invents. In the home, I utilized my cell phone to contact my classmates who are in the city. Seeing these, my grandmother wondered what I did. So I said I was contacting my friends. She was surprised that how I contact people who are in the different region. At that time, my grandmother’s communication means was only visiting people in person. So I explained about the cell phone and my grandmother bought it for comfortable life. For this experience, I realized that life is easier than the past owing to many communication systems.
On top of that, people are able to live a cozier life than the past because of development of medical. Actually, many scientists and doctors have studied about lots of disease. As a result, there are lots of therapies and medicines for patients today. For example, 2 years ago, my grandmother has suffered from severe respiratory disease. Actually, my grandparents have lived near the mining. So it makes her get respiratory disease. So she went to the hospital and her disease could be cured by taking a medicine and receiving cure. Now, she is better than before. She said that her husband died due to respiratory disease 10 years ago. At that time doctors did not have the medicine to heal the respiratory disease. If he had lived till now, he could have survived. I was so sad hearing the news. For this experience, I realized that medical development makes people lives more comfortably.
In conclusion, I believe that people who are in today can live easily. It is because development of technology and medical make people live comfortably. | |
