Essay: Technology

Technology has made our life easier due to lots of inventions that have helped us to improve our lifestyles. In fact, sometimes we start to act very lazy because of this, or sometimes we tend to be more selfish, and so other problems. But, mainly, I have a possitive attitude.
I admit that our life is now better and easier, thanks to technology, for instance few year ago it was almost imposible to make a heart surgeon without any risk of death but now a days it's like another surgeon would be. It has also made communication quicker, there are so many apps that let us talk to our relatives our friends for free althoug they are so far away, also information is now within reach to anyone, and news are known, few seconds after something happen, around the world. This is the possitive part for me
The negative one would be that people tend to be more selfish and lesstalkative, for example few days ago I was with some friends, because we decided to meet after a long time without seeing us, and when we were on a pub waiting for the drinks, they started to use their mobile phones, and we didn't talk at all. another problem would be the price, everything related to technology it's usualy quite expensive, which is a problem because you are continuosly spending money buying new things or just fixing the ones that you already have.
Despite the negative part, I'm keen on technology and I support it, because it helped a lot, I see more possitive aspect than negative ones.
Finally I want to emphasise the most used invention in the last few years, the mobile phone. This, maybe it's the most useful and also the worst in some cases. I mean that nowadays everyone has a mobile phone, and it helped a lot on communication, it's easier, faster and free due to lots of apps that you can use, such as Skype or Whatsapp. You can keep everything you want inside it, like pictures, videos, files and so on. But maybe it's not that good because they tend to be bigger everyday, they are also quite expensive and also you need to pay for using internet and calling, so maybe it's not as good as people could think. People act quite selfish while using the phone because they ignore everything that it's not on their screen, and some even get adicted to phone and could not live without it.
To sum up, I do not hesitate about the great uses of the technology but if we don't learn how to use it properly we are not going to keep improving to balance technology and human relationship.
