What are the advantages and disadvantages of the technologies? I am going to summarize the main pros and cons of some technologic items like computers, mobile phones or internet. As a general rule, its main advantage is that technologies are capable of making life easier. For instance, internet allows you to communicate to someone anywhere in the world in a few seconds. An additional advantage is that this items provide access to information to private individuals who only need a mobile phone or a computer with an internet connection. However, technology is mixed blessing. Its main disadvantage is that people more and more are becoming over dependent on computers and cannot seem to function without it. To sum up, technology advances show people a more efficient way to do things but we should not forget to do it by ourselves.
