There has been an ongoing debate on whether the technology has improved our world or not. Some people may argue that the development of technology has brought many negative effects on this world. However, I firmly believe that technology offers us greater opportunities to enjoy ourselves. The rationale behind this is presented below.
First of all, transportations have been remarkably developed. In the past, people didn't have the dream to go abroad by air-plane. This is all attributed to the advent of technology and its fast development. Even such transfortations have been still improved. For instance, when I was in my elementary school, it took seven hours to go to my grandparent's home. However, nowadays I can go there in only 3 hours. What a huge difference! We are all beneficiaries of this remarkable science.
But, even assuming the above is very plausible, some argue that we, human beings, suffer from scorching summmer, massive floods, air pollution, and so forth. They believe that the science has brought us more curse than blessing. I, however, argue that everything has its dark side. Hence, I still put an emphasis on that such technology has created more merits than flaws. Consider the following.
These days, most people enrich their lives by surfing the internet. Through the internet, they can gain a lot of information with a single click of a mouse at their comfort home. What a convenient! Not only can they do shopping on the web, but they also take online courses presented by cyber universities. For instance, my sister works during daytime; yet, she has always had the desire for higher education. Without such programs, it would not be possible for her to realize her dream. For this reason, it is needless to say that she benefits from current technology.
To sum up, everyone may have a different position on this issue. However, in my case, I absolutey assert that techology has allowed us to have a greater enjoyment of life. We can travel on and forth by plane as well as we can enroll in cyber universities while we are working. |
