How has technology changed society? Are these changes positive?

People are discovering more and more new things in order to make life easier and more carious. That, what is useful brings us happy. Technology expansion influences on relations between people and shows us new possibilities.
Duties which were earlier done by humans now are done by machines.
People stop create things which they are used to. Clear progress in medicine, use new technologies to diagnose and combat diseases make therapy more effective. Statistic show that life expectancy is getting longer.
Also very important is communication which is the fastest developing part of technology. Not only cars and airplanes but also the Internet and phones are now inseparable part of human's life.
Thanks to them our life is more comfortable. Ambulances and phones help to rescue people, also fire brigade can arrive faster to the place in fire. Besides, phones give us a better contact with our family, friends and other people.
I think that this big progress has made our life better and more carious and comfortable but the world isn't better. In the environment is a lot of pollutions, the crime rate is high and the only one thing what people care about is money!I consider that the more human take advantage of development of technology, the more change into ‘coach potatoes’. However, if human makes use of technology novelties in moderation, he won’t become indolent person.
First of all, the improvement of the motorization causes that many people begin to go by cars everywhere as well to the nearest places such as shop or bank. People less walk for the reason that they don’t want to become tired in walking. Moreover, children prefer to play computer games rather play outside. Therefore, they less move and spend spare time outdoor.
Furthermore, many movies are screened in television. Watching films in television substitutes for reading books and going to cinemas or theater, so people lead settled and unsociable live style. Additionally, movies don’t develop imagination as greatly as books.
Max Risch said: “Technology is the knack of arranging the world so that we don't have to experience it". I agree with the statement and I think that experience and knowledge feed the imagination, and this imagination can take us to magical places that cannot be found with a click of the mouse.

Talk about 3 machines/ discoveries/ devices you couldn't live without
Thanks to inventors like Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison and Johannes Gutenberg, the world is full of ingenious creations designed to make our lives simpler, faster, healthier, smarter and more enjoyable. But it's really difficult to say which of the products, gadgets and innovations I encounter on a daily basis is the most indispensable.

for me the most important invention would be a mobile phone. I find it very difficult to live without this technology because I always stay in touch with my friends and family. We can send sms-s to each other .People who have not got mobile phones lose many opportunities to meet. The advantages of this technology are really big and I cannot see too many drawbacks .In spite of advantages there is a disadvantage – I must pay big bills if you have talked too much during the month.
xerox machine: thanks to it I can copy some important pages from books and I can read them in my own room, laying in my bed rather than sitting in the reading – rooms (as for example my parents had to do);
and I don't have to spend much time on re-writing my friend's notes from lesson, which I missed, but just copy them and learn:)
TOOTHBRUSH...this one is so simple yet so genius!! For me it's very important to have fresh breath and I brush my teeth even 5 times a day. I consider what did people use before the invention of the toothbrush? Fingers and Baking Soda ? I don't even really want to know!:)
