With the rapid advancement of communication technology: smart phones, tablets and other mobile devices, some people believe that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
In
this
day and age, there is no doubt that the development of the internet
has made our people's lives a lot easier and more convenient while some individuals think that it has more drawbacks than benefits. In my personal opinion, I disagree that the disadvantages overshadow the advantages and I will explain why in the paragraphs.
First
and foremost, it is undeniable that the internet
is playing an important role in this
age and era since everything is connected with the internet
locally and globally. There are many things that are connected to the internet
such
as shopping, communications, education, work and so on. For example
, most people use social media such
as Facebook and Instagram to communicate with each other in an easy and fast way. Another example is that we can know the global news
just by checking the BBC news
website in a second
and news
can be shared within a minute through the social media we can know the news
as soon as it occurs.
On the other hand
, children can also
study online via zoom and other platforms like google meet and google classroom. As a result
, they will have extra time to study and revise what they have learnt and they can also
save their energy. In addition
, for the working people, they do not have to go long journey to work and they can also
work from home which is very time and energy saving. However
although
there are so many benefits, there can be many disadvantages such
as not being productive and being lazy by working and studying from home.
To conclude, although
there are a few drawbacks, it is undeniable that technology has made everything a lot easier and helps us to connect with everything from all around the world.Submitted by Lily
