Today, we can’t imagine ourselves
without technological advances such as cars, microwaves, cell phones,
computers, and televisions. However, technology won’t stop here, but
develop further. As technology develops, there are not only advantages,
but disadvantages from them. A few advantages of upgraded technology are
that one can save time and money and life will be made easier as a
result of not having to do all the hard labor. In contrast, the
disadvantages of upgraded technology are that people will loose their
jobs to machines that will do the work for them. In addition, machines
and robots are too complex for most people to use.
I personally would want a developed world with advanced technologies.
The following are the reasons why I do want a more advanced world with
advanced technologies. My major reason is because when you have advanced
technologies, life is much easier as robots and machines would take
over your daily life chores. For example, daily life chores might be
serving your breakfast, cutting your lawn, or cleaning your room. With
robots and machines doing one’s chores one has time to relax.
Another
reason is because unlike humans, robots and machines do not make
mistakes when programmed correctly. They always accomplish tasks
perfectly so you won’t have to worry about making a mistake and getting
trouble.
Other reasons why I want advanced
technologies are because they save a great deal of time and money. For
example, if you are a wealthy man who always had trouble employing
talented maids, you can buy a cleaning robot and use it for the rest of
your life. Therefore, you won’t have to use all your time employing
talented maids. Also, you will save a lot of money from not having to
pay servants. Another example of benefits from advanced technology is
that if there are new, developed vehicles that will transport people to
anywhere rapidly, so that one would not need to spend all those boring,
long hours in an airplane to try to get to another country, which will
save much time not only on long travels but also on daily commutes.
As there are so many advantages from
highly developed technology, there also is a great deal of disadvantages
from them. One disadvantage is that as technology develops, robots and
machines will take over many jobs and people will loose their jobs by
contrast. As people loose their jobs, they will have hard time getting
money which would make it hard for them to continue to meet living
expenses. Moreover, as people use less money the economy would be
difficult to control and especially if it is a country as large as the
United States, the problem will influence the world greatly.
Another disadvantage of highly developed
technology is that machines and robots are complex. It is hard to
activate all the machines you have unless you can multitask. Think about
it, if most people have trouble on computers and almost all of us don’t
know the actual limit of computers’ abilities, how will us, normal
people, work with all the robots and machines? Moreover, just like
computers, robots and machines will easily break and most time you won’t
know how to fix them and one will have to call someone to fix them.
People will loose their temper over this and it will create a large
expense to repair them.
Even as there are as many advantages ad
disadvantages of technology, I personally wish a more advanced world
with great technologies. It would be so cool to work out all the
complicated machines and robots. Don’t you think it will be awesome to
press just a few complicated buttons than do the labor yourself? In the
future it would be more about using your brain and being intelligent
than doing the hard labor yourself. I hope these days come within my
lifetim
