Describe an item of technology that is very important for you ? How different would your daily life be ( ? ) without it ?

 

¹I would like to tell you about technologies in our life and, particularly, about an item of technology that is very important for me.

²To begin with, it should be noted that we live in the era of high technologies and we use modern inventions in our everyday life because they have brought us much comfort. ³New technologies have spread on every field over the past 20 years. ⁴Moreover, they are rapidly changing. ⁵For example, video-recorders, DVD-players or compact disks have already become obsolete and have been replaced by more up-to-date devices.

⁶Today we can hardly imagine our life without such modern mobile devices as cell phones or laptops. ⁷Our offices are fully equipped with computers, printers, scanners, wi-fi modems. ⁸Household appliances (приборы) (vacuum-cleaners, coffee-machines, dish-washers, food processors and others) help us to save our time and energy.

⁹As for me, I can`t live without my phone and the Internet, because every day I find some information, communicate with friends and relatives by these ways. ¹⁰And I wouldn’t be able to do these daily activities without cell phone or the Internet.

¹¹I believe the greatest invention of humanity is the Internet. ¹²It plays a significant role in the life of society. ¹³It informs, educates and entertains people. ¹⁴Besides, it also influences the way people look at the world and makes them change their views. ¹⁵In my opinion, it`s very hard, almost impossible to imagine our life without Internet today, because it gives us an opportunity to communicate with people living in the different parts of the Earth, to find any information and so on.

¹⁶It should be noted that digital and electronic inventions have both negative and positive impact on our daily life.

¹⁷I am absolutely positive that new technologies or gadgets are making things faster, easier, more comfortable and interesting. ¹⁸For instance, if you install a GPS (Global Positioning System) in your car you’ll never get lost again. ¹⁹And could we imagine just 15 years ago all the things we can do on the Internet nowadays: connecting with friends from all over the world, online shopping and banking, distance online learning, finding virtual relationships and even working from home? ²⁰Isn’t that awesome?! ²¹Our parents used to go to post-offices to send letters or pay bills, they went to libraries to find a good book and they used telephone-booths for phone-calls.

²²On the other hand, I know some people who are strongly against some modern inventions. ²³I partially agree with that people are becoming anti-social and too dependent on their gadgets. ²⁴Some people also spend half of the time occupying their shiny gadgets (smart-phones or i-pads) even when they go out together with their friends. ²⁵Moreover, people who use various social networks a lot (such as Facebook or Instagram) should worry more about their privacy.

²⁶In conclusion, I would like to add that despite all the cons of the mobile phone, it`s a very important item of technology. ²⁷Of course, people should remember about reality and communicate to each other not just by such devices. ²⁸But there are a lot of various situations in our life when the cell phone is an excellent helper – for instance, when you are not capable to talk to your close people. ²⁹I believe there will no problems if you use this gadget wisely.

³⁰And, to sum up, I`d like to emphasize that despite all the existing disadvantages of the Internet, it`s a really great invention. ³¹Of course, people should remember about reality and communicate to each other not just virtually. ³²But there are a lot of various situations in our life when the Internet is an excellent helper. ³³I believe there will no problems if you use this invention wisely.
