 My Essay:-

Technological growth has made life easier for us today. Who knew a person could travel 10,000 km in just approximately 4 hours or a meteor would hit our planet in 2020 or find another planet to possibly live on if earth undermines. All this is possible today only because of technology.

Technological growth has improved the world that we live in today. With the invention of cars and other automated machines our lives have becomes simpler than it would have been few decades ago. It is only because of these technological developments that we are able to save a lot of time in carrying out our quotidian chores. Nevertheless, technological inventions have made commutation a feasible option for the iterary. In the current fast-paced environment that we live in, technology has served us comfort and ease by developing smart phones, scientific calculators, super-computer and many other inventions. Today we can talk to our loved ones thousands of miles away by just touching a couple of digits on our smart phone screens.

Although technology has made life a lot easier it is noteworthy that humans have become more dependent on this technology. If someone asked an analyst or scientist to solve tedious problems, their first step would be to look find some technology that would solve it faster and with lesser effort. However, this can cause negative effects on our problem solving and critical thinking skills.  These negative effects are prominent on the current younger generation as they rely completely on these technological innovations for most of their work.

Every new discovery has its own pro’s and cons. However, it completely depends on the individual to make the choice of whether this technology should have a positive or negative effect on him/her.
