Technology has more positive effects than negative ones As technology has been applied to our everyday life more and more often, controversy arises about the effects, positive or negative? From my point of view, technology impacts our life more positively than negatively. Technology is making our life more and more convenient, especially the Internet technology. Currently in China, we are accustomed to buying everything online due to the Internet without going outside and bringing so many things back home, shopping becomes easier and more labor-saving. Let’s suppose that in the past, we needed to go to the mall maybe hundreds of miles away for some heavy furniture if we’d like to decorate a new house, but now, with the Internet involved and online shopping mall developed, we might just open the website, skimming and choosing suitable furniture, the only step left is merely waiting for the delivery at home. Opponents may argue that the development of technology like the Internet can have negative influences on the society. Technology is so efficient that human labor will eventually be replaced, giving rise to high unemployment rate and severe society crisis. This opinion seems to make sense at the first sight, however it can hardly hold water after consideration. Still taking the Internet for example, when purchasing online, we actually make deals with mankind instead of machine, the costumers and sellers are connected by the Internet, in other words, the Internet or the computer is just a tool, making purchasing behavior more convenient and simplifying the process. Store owners will not lose their job but acquire more income provided that they follow the trend to sell goods online, too. On the other hand, Internet can contribute to the society by offering more working chances such as deliveryman because of the demand of delivering goods. In conclusion, from my perspective, the positive effect of technology plays a dominant role on the whole, and will still advance people’s lifestyle in the future.
