Modern Technology

a. Modern technology is changing the way we live our lives. Clever gadgets make everyday activities
easier and enable people to use their time effectively. But what impact will this change have in the
future and is it really a positive thing? People are busier than ever before. Technological advances
mean that things are often possible with the touch of a button. A hundred years ago, however, things
were very different. Everyday jobs, like doing the laundry, would take a whole day, and the telephone
was a new invention! Nowadays, almost every household has a washing machine and a dishwasher,
and there are more than 70 million mobile phones in use in the United Kingdom alone.

b. Research shows that around 28% of children in the UK are overweight or obese. Some people are
concerned that this is because young people spend too much time online and not enough time
socialising with their friends and playing outside. In the past, nearly all children walked to school
because their parents didn’t have a car. They didn’t have all the luxuries that many children have
now, so they used their imaginations and played outdoors in the fresh air.

c. Years ago, when people wanted to stay in touch with their friends and family, they wrote letters.
These days, however, E-mail communication and social networking sites, such as Facebook, allow
instant, free international communication.

d. Online banking and shopping make essential activities possible from the comfort of our own
homes. But what effect will this have on town centres and shops? In some towns and cities, many
shops are now empty, and a lot of people think this is because more and more people choose to use
the Internet for shopping.

e. There are many benefits of using technology but we need to be responsible in the choices we
make. Modern equipment is often very expensive and does not last a long time. It is important to
consider how much we really need these things and the impact they have on our health, the
environment and society.

When I was a younger…

When I was younger I liked to play with sand, build cakes in the backyard of my grandmother's house, play with the kids in my neighborhood until late

at night and tell horror stories.
