«I and the world of high technologies»

I want to say that to my mind, today people can’t live without high technologies, such as TV, telephones, radio, computers, different machines, Internet and many other devices, because they are very useful and important for our life. But, as soon as we live at the time of modern inventions, there are always opposite opinions about the technological influence on us. Some people think that modern gadgets bring them only comfort and a great variety of possibilities. But others consider it unnecessary and even harmful to let the machines control human beings.

To start with, let us see what advantages we may have using high tech. Firstly, modern technologies give us much information about the world. Sitting at home we can get all the news all over the world. TV and Internet resources make it real to get to know what is happening around the world.  Switching on TV I can easily get to know how people live in other countries, what traditions they have and so on and so forth. And there is no need to travel around the world to watch wild animals and other unusual things.

Secondly, thanks to modern technologies, we can communicate with lots of people, write and send messages, photos, video, meet new friends. For instance, if a person misses one of his relatives or friends, who is far away, he can make a call  using a mobile. The most important thing is that you don’t have to wait for the answer and you can watch his reaction or hear his voice by yourself. I think that is great!

Thirdly, with the help of modern gadgets people get all the knowledge they need. We can learn everything. With the help of the Internet we can find necessary information. For example, some time ago people used to go to the library in order to find a book, but nowadays we can look for the necessary literature using a computer or even an ordinary cellphone. Apart from that, I love music and if there is a song that I like, I will find it on the Internet without any efforts.

On the other hand, there is another point of view. Some people are sure, that different gadgets destroy humans’ life and health. First of all, they believe that in our days we become «couch potatoes». People don’t have to make any efforts, because there are a lot of machines and devices, which can clean the house or make dinner. So, you can do nothing and just lie on a sofa watching TV and having some snacks.

Moreover, a big number of people say that smartphones and networks replace  communication between them. It is easier for us to communicate with each other sitting at home comfortably, sending different messages and emoticons, than to go outdoors into real life and talk to real people.

Despite this, the more we use high technologies, the more we destroy the world around us. Today people prefer comfortable life and use different devices. And after all we throw much garbage away. In the end all the trash ruins nature and our health.

In conclusion, though many human beings say that modern inventions are harmful for us, I can’t agree with this point of view. Thanks to high tech you can do almost everything. You can watch films, play games, read books and so on. Modern technologies help us to relax while watching entertainment programs on TV or listening to music. Besides, we can get all the news around the world, communicate with each other and get all the necessary knowledge. I strongly believe that high technologies help people in many ways and simplify our life.
