Over the years, our technology has improved in many various ways. Although technology can be helpful, it is however sometimes not great as it seems. We use it for communication; we use a lot of hi-tech gadgets everyday to communicate with people from all over the world. Now days we have the privilege to use computers and the internet which has a wide variety of easy communication offers. There is also a bad side to this and that is that too many people can communicate with us at the same time, and that can create scams and viruses. Young people are using too much technology because it is so advanced and that is not good because it takes away too much valuable time. Our lives will never be the same, because we have so many medicines and other discoveries that enable us to live long if we wish to. Lengthening our lives is very easy these days; technology can easily do that for us.
Man has developed knowledge of how to create machines and he has used that knowledge well. Today we have more than a billion machines that do our work and chores for us. Now, that is a good thing because we get to relax and do no hard work, but it all turns around when you count just how many people have lost their jobs due to man's knowledge (machines). The production of goods has also increased since the invention of machines. They can produce lots of products in a short time, thus making man demand more of their power. For example: farmers who use fertilizers do so because the fertilizers enable their plants to grow faster. The more plants one has, the more money he/ she gets. But those farmers do not understand that the fertilizers they use kill the environment and cause health problems for the consumers. E.g. A poor person is not going to buy organic food because it is expensive, but he/she will buy genetically modified foods because they are cheaper. But today we all know that organic food is healthier for us more than genetically modified foods.
