Technology provides us with numerous
positive effects. Some people say that they are suffering from severe bad
effects because of technology development. However, I strongly agree with the
idea that we have received a lot of benefits from technology. People can live
conveniently; technology enables us to live longer than one thousand years ago.
To begin with, people can live
conveniently. Before people invented high technology, the world was full of
inconvenience. For example, it took more than a month for a person to travel
from South Korea to the America.
Even two thousand years ago, there was no America. Columbus found the U.S with technology
devices such as fast vessels and a telescope. In contrast, people can travel
from South Korea
to the U.S within a day these days. I have studied abroad from South Korea to the U.S. When I firstly got to here, it
only took fifteen hours.
On top of that, a person can live longer
than two hundred years ago. Before technology was developed a lot, people could
not help dying with diseases, such as a cancer or leukemia. For example, I had
one friend’s mother who suffered from a
breath disease. Every her neighbors and friends was full of sorrows. They
thought she would not live longer than a year. All of her friends took care of
her, believing a miracle. Suddenly, the cancer went away from her body because
of medical treatment and a surgery. Eventually, she recovered from the illness.
She could not survive if she born in 1800s. I believe that not only her but also
millions of people recovered from cancers because of technology development.
To sum up, I firmly support the opinion
that technology gives people a lot of positive effects. First reason is that a
person lives very conveniently; second reason is that technology development
brought us longer lives.
