Final exam. Advances in tecnology. For Ms Kristi.

People in today's society are always looking for ways to improve their life styles. That's why we cannot imagine ourselves without technological advances. The rapidness of development and research is so impressive, and I can predict that it will be faster in the 21st century. The advances in technology are affecting our society in both positive and negative ways, and affecting the way individuals communicate, learn, and think.

I believe, technologies have been invented to fulfill our desire for speed and convenience. It makes our lives easier. We wake to an alarm clock, cook breakfast on an electric stove, and go to work or school by car. We communicate with each other by cell phones. We work on computers, and may be watch television or listen to music before going to sleep.

Technology has not been used only for peaceful purposes. It is also used for development of weapons. Every day a new and destructive weapon is invented. Like nuclear weapons that are the most devastating of weapons. And we can all remember the horrible picture from Hiroshima. Furthermore, the nuclear weapons are unsafe even before they explode. As stated in New York Times. "The studies have been prompted in part by recent reports that significant leaks of radiation occurred over long periods from the nation's nuclear weapons plants in the states of Washington, South Carolina, Colorado and Ohio. Some people who live near the plants contend that their communities suffered unusual numbers of cancers and birth defects."

There are some technological advances that have both positive and negative consequences in the same time. For example: robots and machines. They help to save time and money, and they do their work more perfectly then a person can do it. According to USA Today "Standing about 5 feet tall, the hospital's new Rounding Robots have computer screens for heads and real-time video cameras for eyes and ears. Doctors can operate them by remote control to examine patients from another building or even another country." However the use of robots and machines results in job losses.

Technology is a very important part of our lives. No matter what we do, we have to use technological advances. Yet we have to be careful using them. We have to take advantage of them and avoid the disadvantages.
