the impact of technology in our life
Technology has been a big revolution for our lifes.
Fistly,we have to admit that technology has helped to do a lot of reseachs in medecine or on some other topics, like the process to do a boat, building a house, ... If technology hadn´t progressed we wouldn´t have in our house things like the microwaver, or the washing machine.
On the one hand it is very useful to make our life more confortable, but we must realise that we depend on it so much and that it is becoming a problem because we use it so solve our problems. But we have to confess that nowadays technology is completely necesary because all has been done by a technological process.
On the other hand it has also its disadvantages. It is a clear result of the global warming that is every day spoken on television. It also can cause cancer, because some machines send some ultrasonic waves that make us got ill.
For example, children spend much time in front on the computer instead of doing their homework. It must be controled because the excess of computer or mobile would be bad for our lifes.
The impact of technology in our lives
Nowadays, technology is used in every machines, in every simple tools, in absolutely everything. 
To be honest, I think that it would be impossible for us to live without technology, because everything we use in our life has been made by a technological process.
But technology isn't only used on machines, tools or something like that, technology is also used to investigate some medicines, to solve a lot of common problems, ... and that is a very important progress for our society.
I think that technology is positive, because it helps us having an easier and better life. For example, some simple objects such as telephones, windows, houses... wouldn't exist, and our life would be really different.
But technology also has its negative uses, because several problems could be stopped, for example, the global warming, that has been a consequence of the technology, because if we wouldn't have developed the factories , or the oil, (and many other things), we would pollute less, and these type of problems wouldn't exist.
And technology is such a wide topic, that everybody uses it, from younger to elder people. But I have to say that if we use the technology in excess, we will find a lot of problems, for example, using our cars everyday pollutes a lot, and if we go to school walking, or using public transport, we help the environment.
In conclusion, technology has its positive and its negative uses, but it's necesary for us to live in an easier way.

Technology
Nowadays new technology is one of the most important sciences we have in our daily life.
New technology has affected lot of things like economy, education systems, young people hobbies..and work in general.
For example, we are used doing everything with computers: we write letters with our PC's help, we communicate with friends or family who live in other cities or countries so we don't need to pay as much as we would if we talk by phone, we save digital photos, also writers prefer to explain their ideas by computers, not writing them by pen in a single sheet of paper...
I think technology is very important not only because it helps us doing a lot of things but it is very useful too if we want to increase our knowledges.
We can learn lots of interesting things just by clicking our mouse when, in the past, people had to look for them through the biggest books you can imagine...and they also had to know how to read of course.
In conclusion, I generally agree with those who think new techonlogy is good because, anciently, people didn't have the possibility of learn about the world around us and we should make the most of it.

Impact of technology
Technology is a consequence of science and engineering. This two have evolutionated a lot in the last years, also, with them, technology has had several changes in few years.
Technology, for normal people, is a way of making their lives easier.
As an example, we can think that we are living in the
So we can realise that technology is a good advance in our society, but, even though it makes our lives easier, saves some people lives or, makes advances in science, it also can be a problem for us. Some radiations can hurt our health for example. But also we can get mad: Some people can't leave without technology; computers, internet, cellular phones... This people normally are reserved , people that don't get in contact with other people if it's not by technology. Also technology cans get out of our control and cans cause different disasters, like huge bombs, or the spillings of petrol into the sea, for example.
Technology is good, but we must take it into our control, use it with control. As we say here, in
