写的太痛苦了，估计看的人比我写的时候还痛苦~~~
Whether develpoment of technology bring us numorous problem or more convenience? Different pepople will have different ideas with his own background. As for me, I strongly agree that technology solves problems and makes our life better with the following reasons.
First and foremost, tecnology can let us get information more easily. In the past people who wanted to gain news needed to talk with each other, in the other words, they should go out if they wanted to obtain massages. So, in that time most person were lack of knowledge. Nowaday, as tecnology develops, in contrast, we can get information easily. Even we take messages what we want without walking out. For example, through watching TV, we can take acquaint with situation; if we have problems, we could ask for friends or find answers by ourselves via internet without getting out.
Besides, the tecnology short the distance among people in distinct areas. Take the development of transportation as an example. Before people who wanted to another city to travel should spent several months on the way. In that time, not only was travel a thing that wasted much time, but needed enough money to spend on the road. More person just associated with their neighbors. Now, as development of trasportation, it is convenient for us to travel. We could arrive aother province just for several hours and get acquainted with other person. People that come from different countries are associated with together. The world seems as a big family.
Last but not least, there are large of public place of entertainments for people in the technological society. Pressure is charastic of the comteporary society. After working the whole day, most person look forward for relaxing. More relax methods are supplied for person. For instance, film, watching TV, playing internet game or singing in KTV.
Obviously, we can draw the conclusion that the technology can make our life better.

yoyo: wether is a conj连词，所以第一句就不能那么写，因为它不是一个完整的句子。你可以这样改： Wether the development of technology bring us numorous problems or convenience remains a question. 第二段： For one thing, modern technology provides people with more access to latest infomation easily than it was. 这句话感觉有点off the topic: if we have problems, we could ask for friends or find answers by ourselves via internet without getting out. 第三段：首先shorten the distance. 这两句话逻辑不太清楚：Take the development of transportation as an example. Before people who wanted to another city to travel should spent several months on the way. In that time, not only was travel a thing that wasted much time, but needed enough money to spend on the road 你可以加上in ancient China the transpotation was a big trouble. For people who wanted travling to a distant city, they had to spent several days even a month on the horseback due to a lack of modern convenient vehicle
第四段：语法问题有几处： Last but not least, there are large of public place of entertainments for people in the technological society. Pressure is charastic of the comteporary society. After working the whole day, most person look forward for relaxing. More relax methods are supplied for person. For instance, film, watching TV, playing internet game or singing in KTV.
改为：
most persons
characteristics
watching films and TV series.

When asked about whether technology solves problem and makes life better or creates problems and damage the quality of life, opinions vary. Quite a few would claim that technology may brings some demerits to our of life. Contrary to these people's idea is my heartfelt objection that technology undermines our quality of life. Therefore, I am inclined to the view that technology give rises to some beneficial influences in people's life. The main reasons are listed as follows.
    To begin with, the modern technology is to our life what water is to fish. It is the new technology makes our life more vibrant and dynamic. People can have an instantaneous and universal access to information via resources on the Internet and other possible electronic media or devices. It can be best exemplified that a frightfully number of firms depend on the Internet to hold the video meetings from different sites of the country.Also, We can use mobile phone to communicate with my close friends in thousands miles away with low expense.
    What is more, the modern technology can also helps people to promote our living condition. Hybrid rice, which is developed by a Chinese agriculture scientist and educator Yuan Longping, providing a robust food source in high famine risk areas, especially in China. Also, metros in the megapolis are much more convinent than the buses because of the traffic jams on the ground. Hardly can I imaging that people go to the top of the skyscrapers only on foot without the help of the smart and swift elevators. People should thanks to the magic power that technology brings to us.
    Admittedly, every coin has its two sides. The modern technology,to some extent,devastates the natural enviroment. Such as the dessertification,which due to the abuse of the log resources by the enormous machines. And the globe warming,which on account of the large amount of carbon dioxide exhausted from the pipelines of the cars and other transportations and the chimneies of the factories and families.
    However, though the technology results in some disadvantages to people's life, when compared with the positive influences it brings about,it is pale. Therefore, I may safely come to the conclusion that the technology makes our everyday's life more favorable than the counterpart in the past. So the technology must accepted and appreciated.

处女作，望狂趴！
People seldom agree with each other. Some people contend that technology provide us endless benefited, but others stand on the opposite ground believe that some threat and damage is accompanied by technology. From my standpoint, hardly can I image that a world devoid of the rapidly developing technology, without access to computer, lift, aircraft, would we still enjoy diversity and fascination.
First and foremost, technologies supply an opportunity to people to attach the latest news and any necessary information in our modern world. It can be aptly exemplified and illustrated by the following case. Newspapers, as The New York Times, most international news resource which just published in certain areas, then the major people in the world would not know the events and the reasonable and justified comments. Through scan the webs by computer, the above abstracts is solved.
Equally important issues are that communication is becoming growing convenient. The people who are separate in two places can cooperate with each other and solve a lot of problems efficiently. Furthermore, some people who are always feel uncomfortable about talking to others through some tools of communication in internet so that it is a preparation for they to go on to communicate with others in society or to achieve a common goal. Finally, have friends from around the world of mutual interest can provide us with a companion to share our opinions.
Admittedly, technology, to some extent, may exert a relatively disadvantage effect on our environment. For instance, chemical pollution, electrical waste and so on. However, the inevitable merits substantially overshadow the negative consequences and therefore enhance the quality of life.

There are always an essential discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of technology, whether we should develop it desperately or not. The answer of the question is not simple, we should consider the equilibrium of necessity of the human's desire and the environment cost. Not only above, we still challenged by the human ethic and the unreachable human wants. My opionion is that the technology makes our life better with consideration of its contradiction.

Nowadays, our daily life changed a lot as the technology improved tremendously. The changes are not only from our vehicle, our food, and clothes, but also more from the fundamental of our life. It is hard for the people in ancient to imagine that you can record your image on your computer, record your voice, even your motion! When you flying across the Pacific Ocean, sit in the airplane with a sip of champagne appreciating the view out window, you will never know how hard for the people in the past to travel even half of distance that you pass by in pleasure. One more thing I have to mention is the internet, which changed human’s life. Internet made the word closer and easier. People can work on the airplane or lay down in bed. Internet can offer people the efficient work pace, and you will never have problem in switching the work to entertainment. In a word, most privileges that the best life can offer are all provided by the technology.

In contradiction, some proponents argued with the disadvantage of the technology. Such as the environment cost, the threaten of atom booms, the challenge to humans ethic by clone and gene technology, est. While, we need to make sure that technologies are still working for solve the problem that it may cause. For example, Scientists are working on solving the environment problem with finding new energy to decrease the coal burning, further more to contribute to stop the greenhouse effect. So ,in conclusion, it is always beyond me why people will totally reject something only because the couple disadvantages and neglect whole lot privileges!

有时间的话  老师 帮忙 改下 好么？  我快考了.....感激不尽

好的，不是什么老师呵呵，我会这几天找时间认真看改一下。

It is not rare to see that TV and computers have flooded into our daily lives. Some people insist on that development of technology has provoked a series of problems, say various pollutions. The idea is strongly opposed by people who hold the idea that it is technology that makes life better, considering it allows for convenient communication and provides avenue to obtain knowledge in varieties of areas. From my perspective, I totally agree with the latter idea.

No issue is more crucial than the one that advancement of technology enables us to enjoy a convenient communication between friends, relatives, cooperators, etc. To give as a demonstration, Computers, invented in the 20th century, has revolutionized the way people communicate from two separate continents. The advent of E-mail, which supported by Internet technology, can be transported through an optic fiber in a few seconds. Therefore, telephone, another significant invention for communication, has never been a must for people to exchange ideas and e-mail provides a perfect option.

Convenience of obtaining knowledge is another chief and head reason I choose to put here. Among a multitude of inventions in the duration of technology development, TV, tends to be a prevalent way to have a fully comprehension of different aspects of the world. My favorite TV program is National Geography, one contains enormous types of knowledge from physics, archaeology to philosophy and psychology. People can easily be immersed into the magic power of technology, say, how skyscrapers with several hundreds of floors in New York were erected and support themselves with the help of cements and concretes. Thus, TV programs are often considered as an efficient way to have a better understanding of the world.

Though the advantages of technology has greatly benefit human ourselves, it has its own demerit. Say, radiation, emitted by radios, TV, computers has been proved to be hazardous to people’s health. And the ecosystem, to some degree, has also been damaged due to industrialization, basically resulted from the development of technology. Those examples have perfect proved the old saying we should never forget: Each coin has two sides.

Though the disadvantages of technology leads to are considerable, it cannot compete with the benefits it enjoys, when the two main reasons mentioned above are taken into consideration. People may be still unconvinced, but reasons I have analyzed could at least make them more aware of the various dimensions of the issue under discussion. In fact, not only do I prefer to develop technology, but also prefer to take measures to protect from damages to humans at the same time.
