Someone may think that technology is such a bad thing that some cultures or tradition vanishes, but do you really think that technology is really detrimental? I am firmly convinced that sophisticated inventions enables us to lead a comfortable life. So I will discuss about the advantages of innovations.
First of all, communication, one of the advantages, makes us live so conveniently that letters almost vanish. It saves us many time that we can use them to other signification things, such as reading some popular books, or writing a thesis about some specific field, etc.. Wechat, a kind of communication, is faster than letter, and this kind of invention can save us time, even save us lives. For example, you were trapped in a cave, but you cannot get out, if the signal is not bad, you can use your phone and send S.O.S in your Wechat or QQ, or something else, then you will be safe again. So communication is one of the benefits that bring from the innovation.
Secondly, the acquirement of the knowledge will be more convenient. In the past, if you wanted to search something, for the first step, you may go to the library, and then search from the book or come to the teachers’ houses and ask them about the question. Nowadays, you can directly search on the Internet by using a computer. And this is just a small part of the benefits taken from the technology.
Not only communication is one of the advantages which bring from the technology, transportation is also one of them. Just imagine that you get up late, as in the past, you will ride your bike in the road. As soon as you arrived, your boss blamed you and deducted your wages and you were extremely tired and exhausted, but now it is different, you will choose to go by subway, that’s a way of saving time.
So just generally speaking, technology brings us a lot of advantages, such as shopping in the Internet, paying by your smartphone, etc.. But does that technology has no disadvantages? Technology will let some traditional culture disappear. Often that’s the most valuable thing of a country or a continent. Because of the over-using innovations, mostly they will forget the original one, such as letter, coach, etc.. So that’s one of the most major parts missing by the development from the technology.
All in all, I personally am convinced that technology has made our world in a prosperous place.
