Over the past hundred years, human race has made remarkable technological progress. Some people argue that this development may have a negative effect on our daily life. I partly agree with that view, although I believe the benefits of technological progress are greater then their drawbacks.
On the one hand, it is true that modern technology can have negative impact on people’s life. Many individuals spend hours on social media and using mobile phones, which leads to reduce face-to-face communication and family relationship. Moreover, long screen time causes health problems such as poor eye vision, back pain and sleeplessness. In addition, manufacturing companies causes pollution and climate change which carry major implications for future generation.
On the other hand, technological development has made our lives easier in many important ways. Advanced medical tools, such as vaccines and modern surgery have saved millions number of people. Also, artificial intelligence has introduced many facilities that play a crucial role in various areas’ daily life. Furthermore, the internet gives people more access to information and education and also online communication allows apart families to keep in touch each other. Technology also makes daily tasks faster and easier which gives people more time for their work and relaxation.
In conclusion, modern technology has some serious problems including health issues and environmental damage. However, it also has negative and positive effects. Therefore, it depends on how responsibly people use technology, and government and individuals should make an effort together to reduce its harm.
