Nowadays people have many consumer goods in their homes such as refrigerator, washing machines. Is it a positive or negative development?

These days, every home we can see the latest electronic appliances

such

as refrigerator, washing machines and mixer grinder. In my opinion,

this

is a positive development as it saves

time

a

lot

than earlier, but

such

appliances consume a

lot

amount of

electricity

which is a negative development. On the one hand, using many consumer goods brings a

lot

of benefits, but one of them is it saves

time

, which I believe is a positive trend to a certain extent. To elucidate,

last

2-3 decades, all women were using their hands for washing the clothes and used to buy vegetables on the daily basis, that was a

time

-consuming process, and resulting in them not to have

time

for doing any other activities like going out for dinner or watching a movie in the theatre.

However

, these days, we have

such

electrical goods in each house, and people are taking advantage of these goods,

such

as keeping vegetables and dairy products in the fridge and washing their clothes in less than 30 minutes.

This

has resulted in saving their precious

time

and many of them could concentrate on their other household chores and other activities.

On the other hand

, the reason why I think that

this

is a negative trend because

such

consumer goods consume a great amount of

electricity

. It is true that the earth’s temperature is rising on a daily basis due to over consumption of fossil fuels.

Therefore

,

such

goods use a

lot

of

electricity

and create pollution in the atmosphere.

For example

, the

Electricity

Department of India reported that there is an increase in the amount of

electricity

bill than

last

decade because 85% of houses have washing machines, fridge and air conditioner at home that consumes more

electricity

than other electrical goods available. In conclusion, I think that

although

having electrical goods in each home these days is a positive influence as it has saved our

time

to use for other activities, an increase in the pollution level by consuming more units of

electricity

is a negative influence.
