Technology – is it a good or a bad thing?

Could you imagine living in a world without technology? The way we communicate or travel
around the world and even how we cook would be totally different, and harder. The aim of this
essay is to demonstrate how technology is beneficial in essential aspects of our existence such
as communication, travel and home life.

First of all I want to remark the importance of technology in communication. We have moved
from messengers riding a horse to the smartphones, by means of which we are able to talk with
someone who is thousands of kilometers away.

Technology is also key regarding the way we travel. Not just we can reach longer distances in
shorter time, but travelling is becoming more accessible for an increase number of people,
whereas only some years ago it was a privilege of rich citizens. Consequently we can know about
other cultures and understand the way other people live.

Finally, home life is undoubtedly improved by technology. While in ancient times a person was
needed for keeping the fire alive for cooking and heating, presently we can switch on the air
conditioned from our mobile phone to find our home fresh for the moment we arrive.
Furthermore, we are able to work from home adapting the working hours to our necessities.

To summarize, it is easy to find out the advantages of technology in our lives by trying to imagine
how we would live without some of the developments that we have achieved along our history.
In the course of this essay I have pointed out how technology has improved the quality of our
lives in communication, travel and home life.
