Technology Some people claim that as people rely more and more on technology to solve problems, the ability of humans to think for themselves will surely deteriorate. I only partially agree with the statement. Indeed, when people rely on technology to address problems too much, people would stop learning how to do it by themselves. For example, using some advanced household appliance like robot vacuum cleaner, dishwasher or microwave can simplify some loading of cleaning but it would probably lead children to lose the ability to live independently once they grow up and live alone. However, in some aspect, the advances in technology take an essential role in that field. As an analytical chemist, I know how much is important for us using advanced instruments to test, monitor and analyze samples such as trace metal, ions, bacteria and particles. Moreover, technology also brings many improvements in medical care. The advances in medical technology can substantially decrease the threat of illness and diseases. Treatment of most areas of medicine has changed considerably over the years as a result of technological advances. Besides, the improvement of medical care also brings convenience. For example, My grandmother who has diabetes could inject insulin by herself at home that makes her away from suffering the long line waiting at a hospital.
