Thanks to technology we can save effort and time. Inmeantime, many individuals have household commodities such as television, microwave ,rice cookers and mobile cells.I personally believe that their merits surpass their demerits for reasons. In this essay, my point of view will be demostrated before reaching a conclusion.
To begin with, people of present era have a hectic work schedule which can be compensated by getting their work done by using these cutting edge technological gadgets. This will save us from doing such labourious household chores. These equipments are easy to use and operate with less consumption of electricity. For instance, Television keeps us updated by providing plenty of information around the globe, air conditioner keeps our space clean and cool, washing machine is used to clean dirty clothes and save our hands from hazardous effect of chemical used in soap and laundry detergent.Therefore, it can be claimed that modern technolgy save us healthily and comfortably.
In addition to this, Time spent in preparation of food, washing or ironing of clothes, is far less these days than it used to be in the past, and thanks to new technologies. A prime example is that just hundred years ago, it was unimaginable that you could keep your meats and other food items for months, to prepare some meals in just a couple of minutes or to wash a large number of clothes in just 30 minutes. That is the biggest advantage of these consumer goods, modern people spend far less time in doing household chores than they used to. Hence,it can be said that people can save time as it is the most valuable aspect in the modern society.
In conclusion , after I have explained my perspective, it can be reiterated that modern appliances are invented to make people’s life easier and they are successful in that. However, we have to use them wisely in order no to be influenced by their negative sides.That's why it is recommended that we should not count on them on almost daily basis.
