Technology. How I Use It
1
With the development of technology, there have been a lot of changes to our life. Admittedly, some of these changes are bad, causing many environmental and social problems. However, most of these changes contribute to making our life more convenient, more comfortable and more wonderful. First of all, due to the improvement of technology, people can enjoy more conveniences than ever. For example, it only takes travelers or businessmen several hours to go to another countries by jet planes, which makes the world seem to be much smaller. Technology in the form of Internet has helped a student cross national boundaries, open up new views and increase the speed at which he imbibes information. In the past, students can only learn from traditional books. Now, A student sitting in a small town of India can access the latest course material released by MIT on his topic of interest just with a few clicks and several seconds. However, searching on the net for information has its disadvantages too. It is difficult to ensure the information is accurate or not, as the publishing of website do not have the controlling policies as that of publishing books. Further advantage provided by new technologies nowadays is Videoconferencing. A student can ask questions and clear his lingering doubts when he interacts with a professor considered as the authority in his field. What I mean to say is that technology has played a major role not only in increasing the speed at which students learn but also in bringing a radical change in the way they learn it. Secondly, technology has made our life as comfortable as we can imagine. Sitting in air-conditioned rooms, people do not have to suffer the extremely cold or hot weather any more. Whatever vegetable or fruit we want to eat, we can always find it in a supermarket regardless of the season. We can also go to work in a place far away from our homes by using automobiles or public transportation tools. In addition, technology provides us many choices to spend our spare time. Listening to music by using an MD, MP3 or Walkman, surfing the Internet or watching digital movies, all of these entertainments make our life wonderful. On the one other hand, there are disadvantages. People have to learn new skills since the world of work has changed. As a result, people who can not use computers will not be able to get a job. Besides, we depend so much on computing that if the computer breaks down or there is not electricity we can not work at all. In conclusion, although technology has brought about some problems, such as one mentioned, air pollution caused by increasing number of automobiles, and ethnic problems caused by cloning human beings, In my opinion the benefits of technology far outweigh its bad influences. So it is safe to say that technology has made the world a better place to live. .
