Idea of progress - Technology
This is a text for my english oral exam. If you have time to correct it, that would be great :) Thanks!
First part :
In the idea of progress, I will talk about technology. Technology refers to a coherent set of knowledge and practices in a technical field, based on scientific principles. The question is : did technology enable us to progress or did it make us regress?
In our society, technology is used everywhere. If we look at the whole human History, we see that technology is considered as progress. Indeed, technology enables a lot compared to before. For example :
we are able to communicate across the world and even see each other with the use of through cameras,
we can be informed almost instantly thanks to the internet,
we can share our lives lifes with our family and friends even if we can’t meet often,
we can socialize through the social networks,
we can buy things online and it’s delivered directly where we want,
we have a lot of possibilities.
Technology can also enable disabled persons to walk, feel, or see again walk again or feel again or see again (especially thanks to nanotechnology).
Nowadays, some intelligent robots are created to replace humans in menial futile but necessary tasks. For example, the robot vacuum is designed to aspirate autonomously clean the home. No need for of human intervention. Of course it works more or less, but the scientific researches tries to improve every aspects of it.
So technology is a progress because it’s a movement in the right direction : the improvement of the human condition.
