D yu think there are bth advantages and disadvantage f new technlgy？Shuld we fight new technlgy？
The Amish life
Car crash in driverless mde
Predictins f ptential natural disasters
Rbts will be ding mst f ur jbs, frm building hmes t teaching students. They can clean flrs and pump gas. In the future they will be mre cmplex and useful. Unfrtunately，with rbts taking all the jbs, unemplyment will be high.
Mind-reading technlgy will allw us t send thughts t each ther withut speaking a wrd. We will als be able t send thughts t bjects arund us.(instead f pressing “start” n the micrwave, yu culd just think “start”．)Meanwhile, chips implanted(植入)in ur brains will imprve memry and intelligence.
Future cars will drive themselves. These electric cars will cmmunicate with ther cars n the rad t travel safely in clse frmatin at high speeds. S ne hundred years frm nw, accidents will be a thing f the past.
This mrning, I saw the shcking headline: “Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mde”. In the article, varius peple said that the public shuld ppse the idea f develping driverless cars. They said that sme advances in technlgy were unnecessary and culd even be dangerus.
Hence, we shuld cease accepting technlgy just because it is new. The newspaper reprted that the car cmpany had already aplgised fr the accident, but the families f the deceased said it was nt enugh. Nevertheless, the cmpany still claimed that mst peple wuld be travelling in driverless cars ne day sn.
On the ne hand, there are many different grups f peple arund the wrld wh live happily in the absence f new technlgy. Prbably the mst well knwn are the Amish, a grup f Christians living in rural America. They d nt wn r drive cars, watch TV, r use the Internet. They have lived mainly as farmers since the 18th century,
 and they will prbably be living the same way in the distant future. They advcate a simple life with an emphasis n hard wrk, family, and cmmunity. They think that is better than caring abut luxuries r fllwing the lives f the rich and famus. It culd even be argued that the Amish’s quality f life is better since they live in and appreciate the natural envirnment rather than living in large, plluted cities.
On the ther hand, new technlgy has prvided peple everywhere with many benefits ver the years. Fr example, the latest weather-tracking cmputer prgrammes give peple lts f warnings abut ptential natural disasters, which saves many lives. Mrever, the Internet has made it pssible fr friends and family t keep in tuch easily even if they are n ppsite sides f the wrld. It has als made finding pprtunities in life much easier, as it allws peple t make larger netwrks f friends thrugh using scial media.
Persnally, I have benefited quite a lt frm technlgical advances. I fund my career as an AI designer thrugh a scial media netwrk. My health mnitr, which I wear all the time, has als helped me get int the best shape f my life. Of curse, when new technlgy changes the way we live, it can be a scary prspect. Nevertheless, I will always lk n the psitive side f change and accept it rather than resist it.
