答案
Although not everyone is fully aware of it, technology has been exerting a great influence on our lives in every possible way. Furthermore, division arises over this influence. Some believe that due to the distractions brought about by high-tech products like computers and ipads, iphone, mobile, our life is wasted and idled away. They give the example of children and teenagers playing electronic games day and night, and the decrease of time spent with our beloved ones as a result of attending to the mobiles all the time. Consequently, some people propose that we live a simple life without all these high-tech products and learn to appreciate things around us. Nevertheless, other people think technology has made our life easier and more convenient. They state that we can keep in touch with friends and family practically whenever and wherever we want, thanks to the high-tech products, which strengthen interpersonal relationship. In addition, they point out the medical development that has saved numerous lives. As far as I am concerned, both views have some truth in them, but I believe the advantages of technology overweigh its disadvantages. Whenever one wants to bash the technology, they should think about the things that they have taken for granted, which are made possible with technology. In sum, what we should keep in mind is that don’ t go to extreme about technology and make full use of it, refraining from any adverse effects brought by technology in the meanwhile.
