Technology　Good or Bad?

Technology is everywhere now. It’s in our homes, cars, offices, hospitals, and many other places. Life is much easier today because of technology.

But is it really a good thing? Of course, technology helps us in many ways. When we are sick, for example, we can feel better because of technology. Washing clothes once was difficult, but now it’s easier because of the automatic washing machine.

Recently, however, there have been many people who think that too much technology is not good for our lives. They think that our minds and bodies are not healthy because there is too much technology. These people say that we are now lazy because we don’t have to do anything ourselves. Many children don’t like to play outside with their friends anymore. Usually they stay at home and play video games on their computers all day. A lot of people don’t read or exercise anymore. They just watch television in their free time, sitting on a comfortable sofa.

What about the future? Our lives will probably be different with technology. It can be either good or bad. If we don’t become wise enough to control the use of technology, there will be worse problems ahead for us.
