last

century have changed our behaviour and life. It is often argued that the best time to be alive is now. I totally disagree with
this
Linking Words
opinion because nobody can predict the way of future life. On the one hand, there are merits of scientific knowledge and technological inventions. The new information discovered by scientists is beneficial to a lot of subjects
such
Linking Words
as medical knowledge. As well the experiments can be used to solve the problems in our world.
For instance
Linking Words
, these days, the hazardous virus called "Corona" can infect our body and lead to death but scientists have found ways to kill
this
Linking Words
virus by using medical technology to improve mRNA vaccines that prohibit the infection of Coronaviruses.
In addition
Linking Words
, people use innovations from technologies in lots of ways as transportation by car is convenient and faster than walking. Many industries
also
Linking Words
install robots in their factories to save time.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, there are drawbacks to some technologies or innovations. It is clear that the major problem of the world is environmental issues that are caused by spending the natural resources to produce the innovations
such
Linking Words
as cars, mobile phones or computers. Not only does it affect environments or other creatures but it
also
Linking Words
affects humans.
For example
Linking Words
, using cars releases exhausted gases and it causes air pollution that leads to respiratory diseases.
Furthermore
Linking Words
, we cannot predict people's lives in the future. It can be incredibly enhancing or really bad situations. In conclusion, technology and science have numerous advantages which have changed our normal life for 100 years. I completely disagree that living nowadays is better than other periods since we do not know their benefits or disadvantages in the future.
