Essay «Does technological progress do good to people?» (Сочинения ЕГЭ английский язык)

Nowadays there are a lot of debates about technological progress. Some people think that it is good while others are strongly against. Which of these opposing opinions is more reasonable and convenience?

In my opinion, technological progress is a useful thing, because it gives many advantages to humanity. Firstly, the invention of the computer and the Internet has given us more opportunities. Now we can communicate with people without meeting face-to-face, send e-mails, learn different things without going to the library etc. Secondly, our medicine has become better. Many illnesses that were incurable several years ago do not constitute a danger now. Thirdly, we have a big progress in engineering.

Our engineers have made a lot of very useful things that make our life easier.

However, some people may object by saying that technological progress has given us many problems. For example, they can claim that sometimes modern technologies pollute the environment. It leads to different diseases of people and harms the ecology. Moreover, they believe that technologies make a lot of noise. Some people cannot sleep because of it and get depressed.

I do not agree with my opponents. Talking about pollution of the environment I would like to say that people should use the purification technologies. As for noise, it is not really a problem. You can always move to a village or another silent place.

In conclusion, I would like to say that technological progress plays a big role in our life. It makes our life easier and motivates to create something new.
