2. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Technology has made the world a better place to live. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion. Since the year of Industrial Revolution, the pace of technology innovation has been far behind we can imagine. However, a huge controversy is aroused that whether the technology innovation does good for human. In my view, the improvement of technologies to some extent is equal to the enhancement of living standard, both physically and mentally. According to the census, the average lifespan has been largely lengthened due to advanced technologies. For example, edical technologies now are capable of curing many diseases which were hopeless in the past; architectural technologies prevent us from the threats of beasts; agricultural technologies guarantee us food even in the drought. Moreover, technologies also give us a colorful life. Internet technologies facilitate the connection with friends worldwide and enable knowledge to be accessible immediately. In conclude, our daily lives are full of various technologies that we can hardly live without them. Some environmental protectors might argue that technologies do harm to the earth, such global warming. Even so; we cannot deny that there are still some technologies which are environmental friendly. Recently a new technology of bio-energy just announced. With this new method, the consumption of crude oil would be cut substantially and consequently eliminate the emission of hazardous ingredients. Therefore, we should not view only the negative side of technologies. To sum up, the technology innovation has upgraded our lives in various aspects, not only material but also immaterial. Therefore, I believe our future will be certainly further improved as long as we keep focusing on technology developing. --
