湖南省长沙市长郡集团期末联考2023-2024学年九年级上学期1月期末英语试题
Technology is changing to suit people's needs. Of course, technology has also made life more complicated(复杂的) and some may say, led to bad effects. However, it is obvious that technology has made life better than before.
There's no doubt that technology has improved the standards of living. Machines can now do the heavier work which human beings find very difficult to do. Industrialization(工业化) has brought about large production, people can get goods at a cheaper
price, too. Technology has made every aspect(方面) of life more convenient:
computers have made work in the office more efficient and transport systems have
made travel cheaper and even more enjoyable.
Technology has also improved the quality of social life. The communication technology has brought the world closer, whether for business or for personal relationships.
Yet, even though it is true that life has improved with technology, life has also become more complicated as technology becomes more common in our lives. The use of the Internet has changed the way we communicate, socialize and do business, and thus exposed us to risks. As more business deals take place online, there is an increase in cybercrime(网络犯罪). And stolen data has become a huge problem for businesses and banks. Cyberbullying(网络欺凌) is also becoming more widespread today.
Still, technology has given us the means to a better life that was unimaginable. To say that technology does not make life better or even makes life worse is a totally wrong conclusion. There are also creative ways to solve the problems that technology has brought about, such as using laws and technology itself to solve the very problems it brings about. For example, some countries have introduced laws that control the use of online information to ensure personal safety is protected.
