Technology in Our Life

     Have you ever imagined how people lived a hundred years ago? How did they travel, receive medical attention, and communicate with each other? These days life is much better and easier than before for most people. Each day we are moving one step to the future. Technology improves and makes a difference in many important things in the life such as travel, medical serves, and communication.

          Travel to another country has a lot of advantages whatever are your the goals. But in past there were many disadvantages, which made people afraid of travel. For example, they may waste their time, energy, and themselves. If you compare travelling now with the past even ten years ago, you will find a huge difference that was made by the technology. For instance, wherever you are you could go on your smart phone or your lap top and get enough information about any country or city you would like visit. You could also buy your e-ticket online and scan it with the passport in an immigration machine at the airport and pass e-gate to be ready to be on your airplane. Finally, crossing the west part of the earth to East part within less than one day makes the life so easy. For example, you could travel from Toronto to Dubai within 17 hours.

          Another thing that technology impacts is in the medical part. There is a big different between the health now and in the past. There are a lot of new inventions in the medical world. For example a couple months ago I had Lasik surgery done for my eyes. Each eye took less than one minute. It was so fast and safe. And now I have perfect 20-20 vision. These machines reduce percentage of the medical errors.

Another example of health technology is that invention which lets the pregnant women see their babies with a clear 3D video.

          The third way technology has impacted is in the ways of communication between people. There are hundreds of applications and programs that make the world closer than before such as Skype, Facebook, and twitter. Now you can make video call to your family, friends, or whoever is far away from you for free! You also can put your news and get others news from the twitter or the Facebook by one click in your smart phone or IPad.

          In short, we almost can’t live without the technology. A few weeks ago I saw one of my teachers with his sweetly daughter in a restaurant. And when she went on her IPod, she found out there is no internet so, she was a little upset for that. We really cannot imagine ourselves to live in a pre-internet age because of the travel, medical, and the communication advantages we enjoy today.
