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 Roman empire. To send a letter from Bilbao to Cadiz, We may have to take a horse and it would take long to reach the destination. However, now, if you want to send a letter, it reaches the destination in a short period of time because of the fact that it's sent by train, plane and so on. Even you can send an e-mail. Although, Technology isn’t only a way of making our lives easier, it has also added to our daily live new costumes, such as, listening to music or surfing the internet. Customs that aren’t necessary for our daily live but they seem as they do.

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 Spain, “everything in excess is bad”
