Some people say that earlier technologies changed our life more than
recent technologies. To what extent do you agree with this view?
I don't really think that the earlier technologies changed our life more than
technologies that have been created in recent years. The new technologies
that are being used by people now have had unprecedented impacts on our
life.
In communication, recent technologies such as the Internet bring us more
convenience. Some years ago, people had to get what they wanted through
looking into a lot of information. At last people could become tired and
spent too much time. Now, if you use the Internet, getting information
becomes just a piece of cake. Only by clicking on few keys on your laptop
computer, you will gain what you expect. Frankly speaking, people who
have some ideas of it cannot deny the merits born with the system. For
instance, it can improve proficiency in scientific research, because by means
of it scientists and researchers can get a global look at the latest
development in the field concerned and accordingly they need spend no
time doing what has already been done. In view of personal communication,
the most convenient means could be peculiar to the Internet, too.
In transportation, compared with the earlier technologies such as railroad,
modern ocean liner, and motor vehicle, recent technologies such as jet plane
have made our lives more comfortable and provided great possibilities for
modern commercial development and industrialization. The airplanes which
are widely used now have reached an average speed of 500 to 1000
kilometers per hour. They are indisputably the fastest means of
transportation. They are twenty times faster than ships, seven times faster
than cars, and five times faster than trains. In a world like ours where
efficiency is the most important factor, taking flights is definitely is
fantastic.
To sum up, I think that recent technologies have changed our life style more
than earlier technologies. What we have achieved in technology during the
last 50 years overweighs all the achievement in technologies in the history
of mankind.
