My life is heavily dependent on technology. I use elevators to go up and down. I take buses and subway to get to school and elsewhere. I watch TV and play computer games on a regular basis. My family use washing and dishwashing machines and they save us a lot of time. We use our cooker to prepare our meals. My parents use their cars to go to places they need. And most of all I use my smartphone: With its help I communicate with people, take photos and videos, surf the net and so on. Work of all these gadgets and equipment is based on modern technology.
2 Do you think people depend on computers too much?
In my opinion, I think that it is true that life of modern people is highly dependent on computers. Nowadays computers are essential part of our life. Computers are everywhere. Computers help us forecast weather, fly planes, make diagnoses, conduct wars and do many other things. I support the point of view that we depend on computers too much however, this is an inevitable consequence of the progress.
3 what do you think the world would be like without computers?
I think that if we computers disappear one day, we will face a collapse. We won’t be able to use the internet anymore. We won’t be able even to call each other. There will be problems on the roads because traffic lights are the run by computers. I guess that the schedule of the underground is also based on computers. Therefore, almost every sphere of our life will suffer to a greater or lesser degree.
