In what ways has technology improved our lives? In what ways has it made life worse? Imagine that you could only use ONE of the following: a computer, a telephone, or a car. Which one would you use and why? How has the Internet changed the way you live? Are there some things that never should have been invented? What are they and why? Do computers save time or do they just make us waste more time? If you had the possibility to only work from your house via computer, would you do it and why?

The technology has improved our lives by invented mobile technology, communication, social media it's all changing the way we communicate by shopping online, working and gathering information, texting, and calling. Anytime I need anything the first thing I reach for is my phone. It has saved over 95% more lives today than it did back in the old days. Also, I'm using my internet connection to write this post, stream my music, check my Facebook updates, pay bills online, and wait for a vedio call from my cousin. I think the worst thing is addictive. A lot of people addicted to the phone or Internet. So they waste their time by doing bad stuff like fake accounts and bad websites to make some problems to some people. Or they just lazy and wasting there lives by sitting on the computer and playing ect ... If I could only use one of the technologies, I would say my cellphone. Because it's really made my life easier by doing my homework on my phone, calling, texting, checking my social media, and studying. We often use the internet for looking for information which we need, but do not you think most of time we use it for fun or killing time? It's a total waste of time I think. I have wasted so much time of my life on the internet by watching alot of series and movies. I addicted to it and I regret it so much. I do not like to work from house via computer, because I like to communicate with people and improve my English by talking with people. So this won't work for me.

Technology made our lives so much easy and yes it made us so lazy, too. It depends on our uses. Technology is very helpful nowadays in every situations. Technology has a very vast sectors and it includes many things like telephone, internet, computer, car and so on, it never ends. Technology made our life so easy than previous days. We can do many things with the help of technology. If I have to choose one technology from these three technology I will choose telephone for my uses. Telephone should me smart phone. Telephone is very helpful nowadays. It also works as a computer. I can do many works through my telephone. I can operate my bank account, many social accounts, and contact with my clients and family. As a travel agent I can connect with my clients so easily. In recent days an Internet is the main thing for people. People can’t move without an internet. Almost all things are depending on an internet. It’s funny to say, but nowadays people want an internet before food or any other things. In my opinion, there are many things will be inventing in future, because of the technology. Computers can save your time, when people use for right things. People can do many positive things through computers, but the thing is how much people interesting to do right things through it. I don’t have any problem to work from home with computer. I am working from home. I am a travel agent and I have to send emails and quotation for different types of packages to my clients. It’s easy for me to work from home through computer.

Technology always brings positive effect on people life. And scientists rather try to bring more changes in people life. However it’s more related to people how the use it. If they use them in right way they will achieves much success. But if the use them in negative way they will head the wrong path of the live. For instance, recently internet is one of the most popular technologies in the word that we can obtain many kind of useful information; on the other hand internet can be a good guideline for kids to follow their right path as long as they reach their goals and brighter future. But regretfully some people use it in the wrong ways, for example someone could be technology thief, Someone steal people money from their bank account and get in people personal information and even some professional technology thief which we call them cyber thief they are able to steal the classified document from some important places such as government document or even they are able to enter in another country classified information. These types of technology use is abusing from technology. I am using little kind of technology items such as smart phone, car, computer, and so on. I am trying using them in very good ways and it’s really helped me become success in my life and makes my life more easier. Nowadays smart phone, I pad and tablet is getting popular among the people because people can solve their entire daily problem without any difficulties.

Technology is very important in humankind's growth because at any stage of it's development technology has made life easier and has opened several doors of opportunities for us . Try imagining your life without technology . Without computers , telephones and car . It would be very different from what we are accustomed to today . The truth is , all of us rely on technology a great deal to get through the day . Whether it's at work , at home , or at school , I know my family depends greatly on technology . Without technology our lives would all be much different . If I have to choose on technology from these three I will choose telephone for my uses . The very first positive point of mobile phones is communication . With mobile you can communicate with anyone from anywhere at anytime . Now days , the smartphones which are coming are small in size and light in weight which makes it very easy to carry them and the phones is smart . You don't need to sit beside the receiver as your mobile phone is not attached with anything . Mobile phones have become a source of unlimited entertainment . The things which we never thought would be present in a mobile phone are now possible . smartphones have come into existence which not only help you in making calls but also help you to stay entertained by allowing you to play games , listen to music and do lots of other stuff . mobile even come with special apps for kids to increase their brainstorming which is pretty good . It is true that mobile phones can help students in studies but only if they use them wisely . Most of the students become additive to mobile phones and are found playing games, chatting with their friends and watching movies and other stuff . If students are busy keeping their eyes on their mobile phones at all times they won't get time for studying which would lead to poor grades .I realize that I am using my internet to listen music , check my Facebook updates , pay bills online and shopping online . The internet allows us to talk without ever having to get on the phone . It seems as if our phones are simply around so we can avoid the people we don't want to talk to , while texting . There has also been a spike in online dating . I think , there are a lot of things will be inventing in future . Computers can save your time , when they use for right things . Computers it's help me to do my homework . Some people are working from home they use the computers . I like working at home is easy for me , because there is not specific time and I can work anytime .

Technology has made our lives easier, faster and more interesting. We're better connected and better informed, because almost everyone has a smartphone, computer with the Internet. We can do a lot of things by simply clicking on the buttons. Many of people spend a lot of time on using smartphones or computers. We can lose communication skills and our time, if we will use technology and social media more than we need. If I could only use one of the technologies, I would choose a car. The car helps me to save time. I can quickly get to work, to college and where I have to be.

Technology and people It is incredible to think about how far technology has become in such a short time.a lot of the time when we think about the entertainment aspects.we think of how our smartphones and other gadgets allow us to play games and watch movies no matter where we are. However technology has done more than just provide more distractions. Our life would be very different with out the advance of technology. While it's true that sometimes you need to take a break from technology. First of all technology offers access to more information we are able to learn about the world. I love that technology makes it possible to managing relationships with people,no matter where you are. We are able to Skype with my friends and family's. Not only does technology help me stay in touch with loved ones across the country, but I have been able to develop relationships with people around the world. I have friends living in many countries and we can talk using Skype and chat online. Technology allows me to have a career on my terms with out the internet,computers and laptops.

Technology is of the fastest growing idea in the world especially in our life. It became a passion for most of the people in their life. Technology could be good or bad it based how we use it. In my opinion the good improvement was in the medical industry it helped a lot of patients easy to be treated and now a day's doctor can do a surgery without being in the surgery room it's all computerized, otherwise bad improvement was in weapon industry like nuclear or chemical weapons'. Moreover I want to choose between computer, phone and car I will choose computer for many reason first it link me with other people anywhere and anytime also most of the time cheaper than the phone, like social media communications tool. It gives me opportunity to communicate with my family, friends or doing business. Second, car is one of the transportation methods so I have different choice I can choose to reach my point especially with daily traffic I prefer not to drive. So I will not replace my computer with any things it make my life more easy. Furthermore computer and internet they work together to do any tasks or needs like communication or researches. Is the internet perfect? I don’t think so because most of the people misuse it and I believe that we lost our privacy because it's accessible by everyone. Each invent have advantage and disadvantage that based how people will use it. for example chemical weapons was good for people who believed this is the best way to save their country but till today we have some sickness cause of this weapon. Also computer could save time when I use it to finish my tasks or home works. But again it waste of time when we misuse it, like if we no longer meet face to face with our families or friends just communicate by computers. Finally when I tried to work from home using my computer I failed because I did not get my privacy and I did not spend enough time with my daughter , I was focusing only for my work but I decide not to try it again , people most have their own family time. But on the other hand it will be helpful for disable people who can't leave their house for any reason.

My life would be very different without the advances of technology.I love that technology makes it possible to maintain relationships with people, no matter where you are.I also find that technology makes it possible to connect with people who share your goals and values. I often find myself living in areas where I don’t have much in common with those around me. The Internet has allowed me to connect with people who have similar interests. While I think it’s important to develop relationships in the real world, the truth is that many of my online friends know me better than a number of my neighbors.Technology offers great ways for me to boost my health. I can use apps and websites that help me keep track of my diet and exercise. If I have questions about different foods or other items related to health, I can visit a reputable website for information.Finally, technology allows me to have a career on my terms. Without the Internet, computers, and laptops, not to mention the widespread adoption of WiFi, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do. I can make money no matter where I am.As I sit down to write this, I realize that I am using my internet connection to write this post, stream my music, check my Facebook updates, pay bills online, and wait for a video call from a coworker is how the Internet has changed the way we live.Cigarettes never should have been invented .Millions of lives lost. Billions spent on medical bills that could be avoided and this stuff littering the planet. computers should save your time.

Technology has improved our lives in so many ways, a lot of the time, when we think of technology, we think about the entertainment aspect. We think of how our smart phones and other gadgets allow us to play games and watch movies no matter where we are. However, technology has done more than just provide more distractions like. Cell phones allow families and friends to communicate in several ways in such as, Skype, Viber, Line, Face time, and Whats up which we can share our pictures, videos and several other things, well there are so many other technology sources which we are using them in our daily lives, Like we see around us the Cars, Airplanes which has so many advanced technology in them self to make our life easier.Technology is making out lives way better not worse as i believe It's never about the technology . It's all about the user how they make it worse. technology are all used for good or bad because of how the user chooses to use them. Understand what it is designed for and the correct way to operate.

We have more technology than ever before to help deal with problems. People can easily communicate with each other, travel long distance in a short period of time, and better cure diseases. Many products of science and technology are practical and can save us much time and energy.

Today people can't imagine their life without new technology.Every day there are new gadgets that are being developed and people have different feelings about it.I think that technology makes our life easier by saving time.For example,a USB drive can store a lot of information,more than a few thick books can.In 1920,movies were silent but today's 3D technology leaves everyone surprized.However,there is a bad to modern technology.For example,a lot of people become addicted to the computer,smartphone,and TV.They become lazy and disorganized.Some people don't do their home chores because their free time is spent in front of the computer and TV.If I had to choose one technolgy to have,I would pick a car.Having a car gives an opportunity to get around faster and more comfortably.Having a car gives people a lot of freedom.I enjoy driving a car because it relaxes me.One of the most popular technologies is the internet.The internet has changed my life because it helps me learn English and communicate with my friends and relatives from Ukraine.Sometimes,the internet can have a negative effect on people.Unfortunately,the internet can become a virtual addiction and can destroy a person's life.I think that a big mistake is internetion of various gadgets and games with brutal muders and blood.I am opposed to the children watching it.What is the most important thing in our society?Money?Status? Time!We really appreciate our time but most of it we spend sitting by the computer or TV.We spend too much time and waste it on technology.Every day computer steal our attention and it is important to learn now manage our time.Many people work from home using their computers because it's convenient and they don't need to spend time on the road.When you work at home,you do not have a boss around.You can even sit next to your cat as you work.I think i would have stress if worked from home because i could pick my own work hours,work place,and work clothes. In conclusion,I want to say that technology is a miracle and without it the world would be much different.

Technology is helpful for us to do everything better more than handmade, it’s help us from easy to hard works. For example: in the past if people want to communicate in out their country,they must use letter or something very old likes Bird postman to send the massage.But sometime it can’t to come with the other person who want received massage.Today it very easy and fast if we use smart phone to do it. Beside in way has technology improved our lives also technology made life worse. Day by day we use too much technology so we don’t want to do something likes when we have free time we can relax with read any book or talk with friend but now almost people want to play with their phone while they sit together .One of the following: a computer, a telephone , or a car .I think a car helpful for me.A car help me to go every where easy and I can control my times. I know a lot information in the word and it very helpfull to searching how to learn English. I think the video game never should have been invented,because it make some people and childrents don’t want to study and do well thing while they usually sit in front of tv.When we use the the computer,we are need to know using the computer for what . We need to control times for your healthy set like your brand and important thing is your eyes.If I had the possibility to only work from your house via computer,that it was terrible ,I maybe get fat very quick when I always set with my chair and sometimes we will became autism if we dong active in out side!

Over the years the technology has undergone great changes. However, this rapid development affects people’s lives in positive and negative ways. Positively, it is good that we are informed. Negatively, the technology affects the adults and kids. Adults alienate from each other. Children don’t have a normal childhood because they spend too much time in front of computers or TV. More important for me is a computer. I use it to get some information, to collaborate with my relatives and to pay my bills. Fastly, I can do my job on the computer, and spend the remaining time with my family. I think one thing that never should have been invented is the Microwave Oven. It eliminate radiation in food and today many people are suffer-ing from cancer.The technology can cause many bad things but we need to use it in good ways.

Technology has an enormous impact in our everyday life. Our life without technology would be all much different. If we compare our life with a few years back we will notice huge changes. The impact of technology is really great that it has completely changes our lifestyle. Computers, Internet, Gadgets, communication, transportation all these things have changed our society. Not only has technology made our life much convenient, it saves our time and we can develop and achieve our personal goals. Besides it has some negative points in our life too. First the negative impact of technology to the environment affecting the children more. They are busy with watching Television and playing video games than studying. Next, the manufacture of products makes the air, water and land full of toxins.

Of course, the technology has improved my life, it has made easier and save time. From my PC I can find and apply for jobs, read news, shopping, movies, etc. However, technology has has made life worse because we can't have conversations in real life any more. Now we have more important conversations vía text or whatever online medium you want to choose. If I have to choose between the computer, telephone or a car, I choose the car, because I could go to college, to work, to shopping. I realize that I am using my Internet to write my journal, listen my favorite music, check my Facebook updates, pay bills online. In my opinion I think the Internet should not have been invented, of course it helps us, but also in some way has separated our families. Do computers save time or they just make us waste more time? It depends if you know how to use them. Depending on what one is doing on the computer, it can be informative. If one is learning about new things, the it is certanly not a waste of time, on the other hand if one is playing games or not really doing anything productive, that can be considered as wast of time. Of course I would like to work from home, I had my own schedule and spend more time with my children.

In my opinion the technology has greatly improved our lives. They have made it easier and better. We can to communicate with people who are far from us with our phone. Many operations in manufacturing, which are dangerous to humans, have replaced on the machines- robot. This has improved the quality and safety of operation. Machines- robots perform work faster and more accurately than a human. Also with the help of the Internet humanity had access to big volume information. It also has improved our lives. Computers entered our daily lives as our helpers and friends. But there are also negative effects of different technologies. For example computers and phones are very often causing a dependence in adolescents from them. They spend a lot of time near the screen and this leads to the poor health, the obesity, the eyesight and the physical inactivity. The negative effects can also be attributed, and the development of a nuclear energy. It is when an atom can be both a friend and an enemy. Yes, the nuclear energy is very profitable, but the spent the uranium that is buried in the ground or thrown into the ocean cause irreparable damage to our environment. These atomic and hydrogen bombs, which were used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki after World War Two. Consequences after the explosions were terrifying and it took more than a decade to the nature restored.

Technology improved in places such as hospitals, schools and different work places. In hospitals, technology helped get better medical equipment and more treatments were invented. Also technology helped to treat diseases. In schools, it helped get better programs and make studying easier for students. Working people got so much cool tools that made people work less.
