“We're changing the world with technology” (Gates).
In this modern world, many people can’t survive without the aid of modern technology. Do you remember when people used to send messages through the use of the “pony express”? Or when people used to get up from their couch to change the channel of the television? I can’t imagine how people could live without modern technologies such as cell phones, internet, and many more. Technology today has made life easier and quicker but dangerous. As we look at technologies, questions are raised. By the way what are technologies? Modern technology is machinery that makes life easier. For example, microwave ovens cook food easily without using stoves and making a big mess. Today modern technology also has created problems because they are dangerous. How is technology dangerous? The answer to this question is very simple. There's lots of incident where there is malfunction in technology. For example, if there is a problem with a car than the car won't be able to run, or if there is a technical mistake in the car that the car would dysfunction and this could lead to a crash. Nowadays, when the rapidness of development and research is so impressive, it is easy to think about the advantages of modern technology. Nevertheless some people argue that science can destroy mankind. It is also obvious that we are close on an era where technology is limited only by our imagination. As time passes, more and more new technologies will develop for the purpose of the survival of man but the most frequently asked question is: Does technology go the right way and will it save or ruin our civilization? Do you think modern technology has made life easier and safer? Or do you think that modern technology has made life more difficult and more dangerous?
Back then, we didn’t have all of the wonderful advantages of modern technology. Modern technology makes life easier and more
