- New technology always changes our life very much and takes it to a new level.
- It is like the new way of thinking or doing the normal; things differently, better and much more faster.
- We live in the era of high technologies, and we use modern inventions in our everyday life because they have brought us much comfort.
- New technologies have spread on every field over the past 15 years.
- Moreover, they are rapidly changing.
- For example, video-recorders, DVD-players or compact disks have already become obsolete and have been replaced by more up-to-date devices.
- Today we can hardly imagine our life without such modern mobile devices as cell phones or laptops.
- Our offices are fully equipped with computers, printers, scanners, air-conditioners, interactive whiteboards and wi-fi modems.
- Household appliances (vacuum-cleaners, coffee-machines, dish-washers, food processors and others) help us to save our time and energy.
- However, we should realize that digital and electronic inventions have both negative and positive impact on our daily life.
- I am absolutely positive that new technologies or gadgets are making things faster, easier, more comfortable and interesting.
- For instance, if you install a GPS (Global Positioning System) in your car you’ll never get lost again.
- And could we imagine just 15 years ago all the things we can do on the wireless Internet nowadays: connecting with friends from all over the world, online shopping and banking, distance online learning, finding virtual relationships and even working from home?
- Isn’t that awesome?!
- Our grandparents used to go to post-offices to send letters or pay bills, they went to libraries to find a good book and they used telephone-booths for phone-calls.
- On the other hand, I know some people who are strongly against some modern inventions because they really miss those days when they talked to each other face to face in reality, and not virtually.
- I partially agree with that as I really believe that people are becoming anti-social and too dependent on their gadgets.
- Some of my friends also spend half of the time occupying their shiny gadgets (smart-phones or i-pads) even when we go out together.
- Besides, people who use various social networks a lot (such as Facebook or Instagram) should worry more about their privacy.
- Summing up, I could say that there are serious arguments both for and against the use of new technologies but anyway it’s really difficult to imagine our life without them today.
