Is progress always good? In my view, I do not agree that progress is always good. Nowadays, most people get addicted to technologies and innovative trends and that can make companies get more advantages over customers and people can get fooled by these kinds of companies. First, progress makes people greedy and spend too much money on possessing things that they do not actually need. For instance, Apple launches their new iPhones and Macbooks every year and keep boasting about these gadgets’ benefits. So people probably forget what they already had is just enough for them right now and new features are not necessary at all. In fact, their old iPhones and Macbooks are working just fine or maybe more than they need. By the way, at the certain time, Apple will announce to not support and not continue to develop software for the old models so people are forced to buy new ones. In this case, it seems necessary to pay the money for a new one because people could be in trouble if they are not able to update the software they use for work. Second, improving all the time does not mean it is good or better because some technologies or innovations are just created for commercial purposes. When I was in the university, I bought brand-new wireless headsets that were water-resistant and can be worn in the swimming pool. For sure, they were designed to be very fit to the ears so they kept staying on your ears even when you are swimming or playing any sports and that made them very difficult to wear and take off because they were made. I ended up leaving them at home and buy another wire headphones because it is more comfortable to wear and simple and easy to wear and take off. This experience has convinced me that new or advanced technologies are not always good if they do not match our needs or lifestyles. In summary, I believe that progress sometimes is good and sometimes is not because it is not made to fit everyone and they were not necessary to buy every time the products are launched. So we should be more aware when we want to buy trendy gadgets and tools and ask ourselves if we really need it or it is just a fashionable thing we want to possess for temporary.
