People can hardly imagine their lives without modern technologies nowadays. it is almost impossible to go out without a mobile phone or an mp3 player, for example. these devices have become an important part of our life. moreover, almost every day either a new technology is being invented or an old one is being improved. to stay up-to-date people keep buying newer items. soon our houses and work places will look like electronic stores. technology is all around us. first of all, we need it for work. all modern offices are equipped with computers, scanners, printers, and other useful machines. one of the most important devices today is the wi-fi modem as it provides internet. secondly, technologies surround us at home, in cars and everywhere. it includes tvs, radios, refrigerators, vacuum-cleaners, washing machines, cd-players, e-books, cameras and else. perhaps, the most important thing about technological progress is that it allows us to do many things which would be impossible without it. for example, we can communicate with friends from other countries with the help of computers. we can even see them and have a live conversation. there are many people who are against new technologies. in my opinion, technological progress has made our lives more interesting and bright. thanks to computers and internet i find more educational resources. such electronic items as vacuum-cleaner, washing machine, microwave, dish washer, blender and some others have made my mum’s life easier. so i’m sure that new technologies are for good. in conclusion, i’d like to say, that technological progress continues and it moves rather fast. thus, i think that soon we will live in ‘smart’ houses with robots doing all housework instead of us.
