There have been major advances in technology over the recent decades and this has lead to significant improvement in people’s lives. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays,

technology

plays a major role in our lives, and it has provided us with different merits in order to make our

life

easier. But there is a debate against

technology

saying it hurts people's social

life

. In

this

essay, I will be explaining both hypotheses and elaborating my thoughts in

this

regard.

Technology

is an undetachable part of

life

these days, living without the internet or electrical devices is not even imaginable for most people.

Technology

has been progressing fastly during the

last

years,

as a result

, we can see that some advanced technologies like artificial intelligence are performing the same as human beings in many cases.

For example

, autonomous cars have decreased the average number of car accidents across the world as they can drive safer than mankind. In another instance, we see hybrid and electric vehicles have decreased gas emissions globally. These are only two examples of

technology

's benefits for our world.

On the other hand

,

technology

development has its own disadvantages.

For example

, addiction to social media is a critical issue for all societies in

this

era. Teenagers are getting addicted to social media and video games increasingly, today.

This

issue has caused various mental and physical damage to the young generation,

consequently

, the rate of social misbehaviours and crimes has increased among people under 25.

Therefore

, it is of significance to be aware of these dangerous side effects of

technology

and educate students with the required knowledge from an early age. In conclusion,

Although

technology

has brought us many benefits and helped us to have a better

life

, it will harm us if we are not conscious of its possible damages. In my view, technological advancement like everything has its advantages and disadvantages,

thus

, we need to keep on developing new technologies while keeping society posted about their possible dangers at the same time.
