Band 7.5

Modern technology is now very common in most workplaces. How do you think this has changed the way that people work? Do you think there are disadvantages to relying too much on technology?

As high
technology
 can make
people
’s life easy and quick, more and more
people
 tend to exploit these advantages in their workplaces and change the way they work. Some say
such
 up-to-date
technology
 can be detrimental if
people
 cannot control themselves, which may lead to addiction. In my opinion, I disagree with
this
 idea and think that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
First
 of all, individuals can take advantage of adopting new communication
technology
.
For example
, portable devices,
such
 as smartphones and laptops, allow employees and their supervisors to hold a video conference online
instead
 of squeezing into a tiny physical room, while inevitable without the help of these gadgets.
Furthermore
, if workers have to stay home to take their children, they can probably work from home without missing any meetings.
As a result
, workers can have a more flexible working place.
Moreover
, the advent of the internet has changed
people
’s business patterns. Due to the expansion of online stores in concert with the prompt delivery service and the
third
-party payment system that assures payment security, consumers have a tendency to purchase commodities online, which leads to the recession of brick-and-mortar stores. While some
people
 might spend more money because of shopping addiction brought by
such
 convenient electronic commerce, setting a limitation on their monthly expenses can solve
this
 problem. In conclusion, state-of-the-art
technology
 brings about communication tools that have permeated into
people
’s daily life, which lead to changes in lifestyles in a positive way. In my opinion, even though there might be some drawbacks that
people
 might encounter when employing
such
technology
, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
