We live in a world of technology and modern gadgets. People simply can’t

imagine their lives without mobile phones, computers, iPads and music players.

Various technological tools have become a part of our daily life.

The list of modern inventions can be endless. They have made people’s lives

easier. At the same time we became rather lazy. Before the end of the 20th century

housewives didn’t have dishwashers, microwaves, automatic washing machines,

vacuum-cleaners. Basically, they did everything by themselves. Today, almost all

the household chores are done with the help of computerized machines. If our

ancestors knew that we were going to live in the era of scientific advances, they

would probably be jealous.

From the other hand, there are certain disadvantages that technological

progress brought along. For example, human workers today retain less value,

because machines can do the work for 10 people or even more. Companies don’t

need to employ as many people as they used to. Many things are processed with

the help of ordinary computer. Another disadvantage is strong dependency on

technological novelties. When a personal computer crashes, people start feeling

helpless and unable to solve any life problems. Nearly everything today depends

on computers and on the Internet. The cost of some modern gadgets is also

something to consider. Manufacturers produce newer and newer models of mobile

phones, computers, laptops, etc. So, the prices almost never go down, instead they

grow higher. Most students can hardly afford to buy an innovative technological

toy.

Despite all the disadvantages, I’m convinced that gadgets are a necessary part

of our life, as they save people’s time and provide entertainment.
