Technologies resolve our problems and individual or collective needs. It’s amazing how technologies have grown in a few years. Some inventions like drones, mobile phones or robots make our life more easy.

The most developed cities in the world are Seul (South Corea), Tokyo (Japan), Hong Kong (China), New York (USA)… In this places, the technological industry is very developed, so they are world powers.

Technologies have a lot of advantages, but they also have many disadvantages:

  •     They’ve improved the communication.
  •     New technologies have also improved entertainment;  now we can play video games, listen to music…
  •     They have changed the health industry with scientific researchs.
  •     Modern technologies have also developed the education and they make learning more easy.

Disadvantages:

  •     Increased loneliness, because people are spending more time playing video games or using new technologies.
  •     Job loss. Some inventions like robots are replacing humans.
  •     We’re more dependents from technologie, so it has reduced our creativity
  •     Thanks to modern technologies, criminals use war weapons without good intentions


In conclusion, modern technologies can be very positive if we use it responsibly, but they can also bevery dangerous ...
