In many countries, more and more people buy a wide range of household goods like television, microwave oven and rice cooker. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

With the technological advancements of today's age, new devices and gadgets are replacing human labor. E

speci

a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages

labour

ally in the developed nations, more and more people buy a range of household goods including

television

,

microwave

oven as well as

rice

cooker.

This

essay evaluates to whether these goods are leading the human race to a positive or a negative

development

. I personally think that

this

is a constructive

development

There are most definitely a number of humans who put forth the thought of keeping your wants and needs minimal.

Firstly

, these individuals strongly mention that

television

can be replaced by books.

This

would not only ensure a person's mental

development

but would

also

reduce the risk of deteriorating eyesight caused due to

television

.

Secondly

, they would evaluate the damages to health caused due to the rays of the

microwave

oven or the specific materials that can be used in

such

electronics.

For example

: Plastic containers on melting in the

microwave

, increase the chances of cancer.

Thirdly

, there is no need of special

rice

cookers. A single cooker can easily suffice the requirement of making

rice

or even a few gravies for that matter. And

this

set of population is not at all wrong if you consider their views and opinions.

However

, don't you think that had the human race not had the thirst for

development

, and growing needs over time, we would still be Neanderthals striking fire with the help of stones?

Television

, though harmful to the eyes, gives us so many reasons to laugh via sitcoms, gain knowledge via the flashing news or know about the earth and history via channels like National Geographic and The History Channel. And we can surely split the time wisely, so we could do both, watch

television

as well as read books. With respect to

microwave

ovens, these electronics were invented to save time. Foods that can be heated on a hot plate in 15 minutes can be warmed in the

microwave

oven in two minutes and there would be no harm done if we choose to use the right kind of vessels.

Similarly

a

rice

cooker ensures that the consistency of the cooked

rice

is maintained, irrespective of the quantity of water being added. In conclusion, I would like to mention that it is the growing needs that have led to historical inventions and innovations. Due to which, the mankind has put brains to good use and

this

in turn has led to advancement in numerous fields.

Therefore

, it is a highly positive growth that people are buying a wide range of televisions,

microwave

ovens,

rice

cookers and other

such

devices since

this

is giving us a push to learn
