Reap the benefits from advanced technology

Nowadays, technology is one of the most important things in our lives. Nothing can separate us from this phenomenon. However, many people admitted that the development of technology brought us and our environment many bad effects. They said that some several natural disasters that happened of late were caused by the technology. On the other hand, I think actually there are so many benefits that we can get from this progress.

First, take from the simple one, the food. In the past, people got some difficulties in storing their foods. They were not able to keep the foods in long time because it would decay. However, today people can keep their provisions in a proximate tin, so it can last long, even for years.

The second benefit is come from communication technology advancement. In the previous era, people needed some days or even weeks to give just a message for someone. They must order a man or bird to deliver the letter. Yet, it was so old fashioned, now people can send an email or massage to everybody, everywhere, just in seconds, and there is no bird-post anymore since it is so easy using internet.

In summary, beside the bad effects, actually there are so many benefits of the technology advancement like tinned foods and the internet. That is just a little example of benefits that I can write exclude so many other benefits. Actually whether the technology is bad or good depends. If we use it wisely, we will reap the benefits, but if we don't, it won't.
