The Effects of Technology As the society developed, the science and technology play a more and more important role today. The technology is a double-edged sword, which has both advantages and disadvantages. On one hand, the technology brings many benefits. Many technologies are used and have effects on all aspects of people’ lives. People feel the world is becoming smaller and closer, because the high technology. For example, People can keep touch with others who are far away. People can go where they want to go in a short time. The life is so comfortable and convenient. In addition, the technology is so important that many machines are put into industry. It does not only increase the productivity, but also make people work easier. People’s dreams will come true when the technology improves. However, on the other hand, the technology has shortcomings. It may do great harm to our environment and our heath as well. Some problems come out, such as the air pollution, land reduction, the animals perishing and plastic pollution. So people take it seriously. In my opinion, the development of the science and technology is an inevitable trend, what’s more, it does more good than harm. People should make full use of the technology and do our best to help the earth and ourselves.
