 People can hardly imagine their lives without modern
technologies nowadays. It is almost impossible to go out
without a mobile phone or an MP3 player, for example.
These devices have become an important part of our life.
Moreover, almost every day either a new technology is
being invented or an old one is being improved. To stay
up-to-date people keep buying newer items. Soon our
houses and work places will look like electronic stores.
Technology is all around us. First of all, we need it for
work. All modern offices are equipped with computers,
scanners, printers, and other useful machines. One of the
most important devices today is the wi-fi modem as it
provides Internet. Secondly, technologies surround us at
home, in cars and everywhere. It includes TVs, radios,
refrigerators, vacuum-cleaners, washing machines, CD-
players, e-books, cameras and else. Perhaps, the most
important thing about technological progress is that it
allows us to do many things which would be impossible
without it. For example, we can communicate with friends
from other countries with the help of computers. We can
even see them and have a live conversation. There are
many people who are against new technologies. In my
opinion, technological progress has made our lives more
interesting and bright. Thanks to computers and Internet I
find more educational resources. Such electronic items as
vacuum-cleaner, washing machine, microwave, dish
washer, blender and some others have made my mum’s life
easier. So I’m sure that new technologies are for good. In
conclusion, I’d like to say, that technological progress
continues and it moves rather fast. Thus, I think that soon
we will live in ‘smart’ houses with robots doing all
housework instead of us.
