Никто не станет отрицать важность современных технологий. Они сделали жизнь проще и лучше во многих отношениях. Технологии лучше всего определять как науку, применяемую для практических целей. Благодаря их быстрому развитию, люди могут использовать много умных гаджетов в повседневной жизни. Большая часть домохозяек больше не стирают вручную. Они даже не моют посуду после приема пищи, потому что посудомоечная машина может сделать это за них. Никто не использует старомодные веники, так как есть продуманные пылесосы. Все эти современные машины почти заменили людей. Тем не менее, это не всегда хорошо. Как и любая другая область в мире, современные технологии имеют свои преимущества и недостатки. Несомненно, полезно иметь в доме такие устройства. Они справляться с домашними делами. Также хорошо иметь такие гаджеты, как ноутбук, MP3-плеер, смартфон, айфон, фотоаппарат, наушники, принтер, сканер, планшет и т.д. Сегодня люди просто не могут представить свою жизнь без этих устройств. Тем не менее, их длительное использование не всегда хорошо для здоровья. Если сидеть часами перед компьютером, можно заработать проблемы со зрением и позвоночником. Сотовые телефоны содержат излучения, отрицательно влияющие на организм человека. Поэтому, многие специалисты здравоохранения против чрезмерного использования мобильных телефонов. Бытовая техника и устройства, которые делают жизнь людей проще, часто приводят к праздности и ожирению. Современные офисы полны автоматических приборов. Вот почему исчезают рабочие места, а люди остаются безработными. В заключение я хотел бы сказать, что технологический прогресс может быть в какой-то степени опасным. Даже окружающая природа страдает от развития науки.Nobody would deny the importance of modern technology. It has made life easier and better in many ways. The best definition of technology is science applied to practical purposes. Due to its rapid development people can use many smart gadgets in everyday life. Most housewives stopped washing the clothes by hand. They don’t even wash the dishes after meal, because the dishwasher can do it for them. Nobody uses the old-fashioned brooms, as there are advanced vacuum-cleaners. All these modern machines have nearly replaced people. However, it is not always good. As any other field in the world, modern technology has its advantages and drawbacks. It is undoubtedly helpful to have smart appliances in the house. They help to deal with household chores. It is also good to have such gadgets as laptop, MP3 player, smartphone, iphone, camera, headphones, printer, scanner, tablet etc. Today, people simply can’t imagine life without these machines. However, it isn’t always healthy to use them for a long time. Sitting long hours in front of the computer leads to eyesight and back problems. Cell phones contain negative vibes that affect human organism. So, many health specialists are against the excessive use of cell phones. Household appliances and machines that make people’s life easier often lead to idleness and obesity. Modern offices are full of self-operating machines. That’s why some jobs are disappearing and people stay unemployed. In conclusion, I’d like to say that technological progress can be dangerous at some extent. Even surrounding nature suffers from scientific advances.
