Are people who choose to avoid technology at a
disadvantage compared to people who use technology often?
It is widely accepted
that more and more people rely on technological products, such as smartphones, televisions
and cars. I believe people who avoid technology are at a disadvantage compared
to people who usually utilise it. Technology has made our life more efficient
and convenient than before, although it also brings environmental contamination.
Nowadays, the development
of technology renders people’s life more efficient. Many sophisticated devices
have appeared in various plants which enable employees to produce more products
in less hours when using simple instruments. In addition, it accelerates the pace
of life in different ways, for example, employees can work at home with
computers instead of going to their companies, which allow workers to save commuting
time.
Secondly, it is technology
that provides convenience of life style. For example, in the past, Chinese
commuters had to suffer from traffic jams, whereas now they have convenient
public transportation, like buses, subways or high speed trains. Furthermore,
new technological payment patterns largely reduce customers’ hotel check out
time, and it is especially useful for businessmen who are always in a hurry.
For instance, Applepay, Weixin and Alipay apps can be used to complete payments
in seconds. Therefore, people prefer to choose the new modes of payment.
Finally, even though technology
developments have changed humans’ lives, the natural environment has been polluted
in this process. For example, factories have been built in the city centre and
countryside, which lead to air pollution, such as, waste gas is released by
thermal power plants.
In conclusion, technology
has more advantages than disadvantages for us. I think an individual should try
to utilise technologies to make one’s life better. I do believe that the era of
technology is on the way.
