Essay: The early and recent technologies

Topic: Early technological developments helped ordinary people and changed their lives more than recent developments.

To what extent do you agree or disagree

  It is unarguable that technologies are making humans life more and more convenient and modern. However, there are many debates in all over the world about early technological developments take people a bigger move to the future than the recent technologies do. From my point of view, I disagree with this argument because the recent or early technologies have an equal impact on ours lives.

There are a variety of ways that can explain why the early technologies help people more than recent technologies. The principal reason is that with the inventions such as electricity, phone, etc it makes our lives become more modern. For example, people can contact easily to each other when they have a phone or they can light up their room in the evening without candles by an electrical lamp. In addition, the early technologies help human discovery new things in the world such as new energy like gas, fuel etc or new chemical elements.

On the other hand, besides the benefit of the early technologies, the modern technologies also bring many advantages. Here the principal argument is that the present technologies not only base on early technologies but also take humans a fantastic move. An example here is that in 10 years ago, people could not call anyone if they did not have a telephone. Now people can call anyone whenever they want by a small mobile phone or they can share many things easily by the internet. A second positive effect is that the modern technologies can prevent many diseases that are impossible in the past such as cold, cancer, plague etc

It is difficult to escape the conclusion that the early and recent technologies have an equal effect on humans. However, some technologies have negative impact such as nuclear technology or process of manufacturing steel in the past etc but without them, people cannot take a big move to the modern life like present.
