SCIENCE
& TECHNOLOGY
Technology is an important part of our lives. We use computers and
other electric equipment at work and in the home. However, some people believe
we rely too much on machines, and that the more technology improves, the lazier
and weaker humans will become.

Technological advances are changing our lives very rapidly. Nowadays we can't
do without such gadgets as mobile phones, PCs, digital tape recorders, air
conditioners, fax machines and so on. Many people feel ill at ease without their
laptop computers or GPS navigation systems.
In my opinion, technology facilitates our
lives and saves our time. Computers help us do the most difficult sums and
investigate complicated data. People do business, communicate and do the
shopping via the Internet. It is much easier to do housework nowadays, thanks
to electric equipment such as microwave ovens, washing machines and so on.
However, many people say that technology
makes us lazier and weaker. For example, such technological developments as
the telephone and the Internet have made communication much easier, but they
can cause the loss of social interaction^ A lot of people prefer communicating
through a keyboard than face to face. That is why people don't meet as often as
they did in the past. A lot of people are fond of watching TV and playing
computer games. They spend hours in front of the screen. They have no time to
read books or to communicate with their friends. They move less, speak less and
they even think less. Of course, such way of life does much harm to their
health.
To sum up, people should continue to
develop technology, but they must do it wisely. Otherwise we may regret in the
future.
Some people say that technical devices do more harm than good.
However, others think that it is impossible to live without computers or mobile
phones nowadays.
Nowadays people can't imagine their lives
without different technical devices. Every day we use computers, laptops,
mobile phones, i-Pods, digital tape recorders and so on.
I have always wondered if our lives could
be better without these technical devices. Personally, I can't do without my
computer as it helps me study. For example, it helps me prepare reports and
create beautiful presentations. Besides, the computer is a great source of entertainment.
I often play computer games,
watch films or listen to music. The Internet helps me learn the latest news,
access useful information, communicate with my friends and what not. A mobile
phone is a vital part of my daily life. It gives me an opportunity to be
reachable everywhere and to keep in touch with my friends.
However, many people say that technical
devices enslave those who use them. Besides, they do much harm to our health.
For example, if people spend much time in front of the screen, they have
problems with their eyesight and sleep. They don't go out or exercise, they
feel exhausted and depressed. Computer games can cause addiction and make
people aggressive. As for mobile phones, they use electromagnetic radiation
which can influence our health in a negative way.
To conclude, I would prefer a
technological way of life to a natural one, though it has a number of
disadvantages. In my opinion, modern society can't do without progress and
technology. People can avoid the risk to human life and health if they use
technological devices wisely.
