MODERN TECHNOLOGIES

BY EDUARDO PÉREZ, 2BTO-A

The development of technology has originated a general comfort status, but new technologies are also used to do nasty things.
Since the Industrial Revolution, quality of life has been improving because of innovations in the area of technology. Nowadays, for example, most people can afford to travel to England. Before the Industrial Revolution, it was unimaginable.
On the other hand, some historical disasters, like the bombS of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, could have been avoided if scientists HADN'T invented new weapons. In addition, technology's advancing has made society more sedentary, so young people prefer to play video games instead of playing outside in the street.  
On balance, I think that we have to use technologies only to make a better society.
