Technological
advances are changing our lives very rapidly. Nowadays we can't do
without such gadgets as mobile phones, PCs, digital tape recorders, air
conditioners, fax machines and so on. (1) <span>People do business, communicate and do the shopping via the Internet.</span><span><span />
In my opinion, technology facilitates our lives and saves our time.
Computers help us do the most difficult sums and investigate complicated
data. (2) </span><span>In my opinion, modern society can't do without progress and technology. </span><span> It is much easier to do housework nowadays,
thanks to electric equipment such as microwave ovens, washing machines
and so on.
However, many people say that technology makes us lazier
and weaker. (3.) </span><span>For example, such technological developments as the telephone and the
Internet have made communication much easier, but they can cause the
loss of social interaction. A lot of people prefer communicating
through a keyboard than face to face. That is why people don't meet as
often as they did in the past. A lot of people are fond of watching TV
and playing computer games. (4.) </span>They spend hours in front of the screen.<span> They have no time to read
books or to communicate with their friends. They move less, speak less
and they even think less. (5.) </span>Of course, such way of life does much harm to their health.<span>
To sum up, people should continue to develop technology, but they must do it wisely. Otherwise we may regret in the future.
</span><span><span>Exercise 2 </span><span>Some people say that technical devices do more harm than good. However, others think that it is <u>(1) im</u><u>POSSIBLE</u> to live without computers or mobile phones nowadays.
Nowadays people can't imagine their lives without different
technical devices. Every day we use computers, laptops, mobile phones,
i-Pods, digital tape recorders and so on.
I have always wondered
if our lives could be better without these technical devices.
Personally, I can't do without my computer as it helps me study. For
example, it helps me prepare reports and create beautiful <span><u>(2) PRESENTations.</u></span> Besides,
the computer is a great source of entertainment. I often play computer
games, watch films or listen to music. The Internet helps me learn the
latest news, access <u>(3) USEful</u> information;
communicate with my friends and what not. A mobile phone is a vital part
of my daily life. It gives me an opportunity to be <u>(4) REACHable</u> everywhere and to keep in touch with my friends.
However, many people say that technical devices enslave those who
use them. Besides, they do much harm to our health. For example, if
people spend much time in front of the screen, they have problems with
their eyesight and sleep. They don't go out or exercise, they feel
exhausted and depressed. Computer games can cause <u>(5) ADDICTion</u>
and make people aggressive. As for mobile phones, they use
electromagnetic radiation which can influence our health in a negative
way.
To conclude, I would prefer a technological way of life to a natural one, though it has a number of <u>(6) ADVANTAGEs.</u>
In my opinion, modern society can't do without progress and technology.
People can avoid the risk to human life and health if they use
technological devices wisely. </span></span>
