구니짱 답변:

We are living in a climate changing world. It means our planet is going to die. Then, why our planet is dyeing? I think it is because of technology, Technology turned our life more comfortable but I agree a little bit that. In the past, for example, we didn't have a car so we walked or ride a horse but in a modern society, we have not only a car but also a train and air plane etc. however, technology had our planet die. A car that invented because of technology contaminates the air. Also, the advance of science technology, plastics are invented and people use too much, plastics and nano plastics polluted the ocean and marine ecosystem. These has been collapsed by them. Lastly, Technology had the ice collapse. According to the report by the England researching tour, the ice of the north pile is melting so fast. Science technology made transportation and transportation made CO2, CO2 made our planet hot. So the ice in the north pole is melting. So I disagree about the statement Technology had made the world a better place to live.

As far as I can remember, people have been debting the pros and cons of today's technology. They also argue whether or not the technology only has a positive impact on our lives. From my point of view, whether it is beneficial or not, I strongly feel that technology offers us greater opportunities to enjoy ourselves.

 

Among other things, thrasporation has been dramatically develped. In the past, especiallay 200 years ago, nobody would have dreamed that could be able to go to America by air. This is all attributed to the advent of technology and its fast development, Even such transporaton has been still improved. For example, when I was in elementary school, it took seven hous to vist my grandparents house, it now requries just two housrs to go there, What a guge differeence. We are all beneficiaries of the remarkable state of the art science. 

 

But, even assuming the above is not less implausible, some argue that we human beings, suffer from scorching summer, massive flooding, air pollution, and so forth. They believe that science has brought us more curse thatn blessing. I however argue that everything has its dark side. Hence I still put an emphasis on that such technology has created more merites than flaws. Consider the following.

 

These days, most people enrich their lives by surfling the internet. Through the internet, they can gain a vast wealth of information with a single click of a mouse in the comfort their homes. What a convenient! Noy only can they do shopping on the webm but they also take online courses presented by cyber universities. For instance, my elder sister works during the daytime. She has always had desire for higher education without such programs. It would not be possible for her to realize her dreams. For this reason, it is needless to say that she benefits from technology.

 

All thighs considered, although everyone may hold a different position on the issue, I firmly feel that technology 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 although we are hectic.
