Modern Technology Makes Life More Convenient
Modern technology makes life more convenient; tools are the milestores of the technology as well as human being' s progress.
Men used to cut trees with hand saw. But now, by using electronic saw they can cut down a tree in only a few minutes. Another example is more vivid: You have something urgent which has to be informed to your friend whose house is two hour's ride away. You probably want to make a phone call. But no telephone is installed in your friend' s home. What could you do? Nowadays, with modern technology advanting, using internet is popular with us. Some years ago, people had to get what they wanted through looking into a lot of information; at last people could become tired and spent too much time. Now, if you use Internet, all becomes a piece of cake. Only by clucking, you will gain what you expect.
We all hope that modern technology will reach a higher level, because modern technology makes life more convenient indeed.

现代科技使生活更加便捷
现代科技使生活更加便捷;工具是科技进步和人类进步的里程碑。人类过去用手锯锯树,但是现在,用电锯可在几分钟内锯倒一棵树。另外一个例子更加生动形象:如果你有急事通知你的朋友,而他家距你家有2小时的路程,你可能想打个电话。但是你的朋友家又没安电话,你该怎么办?如今,随着现代科技的进步,使用网络已很流行。若干年前,人们不得不查找大量资料来搜集需要的信息,最后人累得疲惫不堪,还浪费了大量时间。现在,如果使用网络,一切就都是小菜一碟了。只要轻敲键盘,就会有求必应。
我们都期待着现代科技能达到一个更高的水平,因为现代科技确实使生活变得更便捷。
