Microwave ovens and fast food restaurants can save much time, so it might be helpful to society in some ways. First of all, by saving some time, people can do more important things than cooking. Im not saying cooking is nothing but a waste of time, but people can use their time for more valuable things. Not many people want to spend their time for only cooking, some might want to read books or watch movies instead of cooking if they have a chance to choose between both of them.
Second, it might lead to an efficient way to spend their break. People usually have 1 hour break for their lunch, and if they can save some time for heating or cooking, they might be able to do something else such as exercizing or reading. It can improve their health condition or efficiency. It is true many people are suffering from diabetes or related diseases. Of course, there are some concerns those fast food restaurants are increasing the obesity rate. Fast food restaurants usually serve hamburgers or fries which are not considered as healthy food. However, fast food can be healthy as well. For one instance, salads can be healthy food and it is fast to make.
In conclusion, the invention of the microwave is huge improvement without any doubts. With proper usage, the invention could bring huge benefits to society. Not only for cooking, it could be used as something else. Personally I use microwave to heat up my towels so I can use it as a hotpack. It it true that this amazing equipment brings many advantages to human beings in many ways. |
