The diagrams below show some principles of house design for cool and for warm climates.

Information

technology

has become an integral part of human life, and we are becoming increasingly dependent on it. But

while

it enhances certain aspects of our lives, I

also

think it may be having a detrimental effect on others. One of the biggest drawbacks of information

technology

is that it can be incredibly time-consuming.

People

who work in international business have to read hundreds of emails daily, and children can spend hours chatting online. Some

people

would argue that

this

time could be better spent. A related criticism is that it leads to unhealthy lifestyles. Rather than going out and taking regular exercise,

for example

, some

people

spend a plethora of time sitting at their computers or with their smartphones. In the long term,

this

lack of activity does not do our bodies any good. Despite these drawbacks, we cannot deny that

technology

has made aspects of life more pleasurable. We all have instant access to entertainment and social connections are just a click away. Like many

people

, I use a networking site, which apparently has more than 800 million active users.

This

type of statistic illustrates just how popular

this

website is. There are

also

huge benefits to using

technology

for study and work. The internet is an invaluable resource for students of all ages, provided

that is

used sensibly.

Also

, some areas of work have moved forward in leaps and bounds

due to

the huge amount of data that computers can store. In conclusion, there are some negative aspects of

technology

. Having said that, it is the way we use it that causes these. If it is used sensibly and

people

take regular breaks from their computers there are only benefits that remain.
