brought due to the technological revolution has resulted in progress for the human kind. 
But I strongly support the argument that technology has made the world a better place to 
live. I will explain my point of view with examples and reasoning in the following 
paragraphs. 
First of all, technology has improved the quality of our lives. For example, in our working 
lives where we use computers, which help us plan and execute our work faster. And also 
for instance the communication technology, which has revolutionized the way people 
around the world, talk and share information. Previously, pigeons were used to transmit 
information, now due to efforts of many scientists and organizations we have mediums 
such as e-mail, telephone, fax which allow people to share information, in ways which was 
never thought possible before. All this results in people meeting and sharing thoughts and 
exchanging knowledge, which eventually leads to betterment of mankind. 
Secondly, It has made it possible to do things unimagined before. For instance, it was 
never thought possible to cure people of some diseases and disabilities. But path breaking 
applications of radioactive isotopes in cancer treatment and artificial limb implants in 
disabled persons are some instances where technology has given people a new ray of hope. 
It has also resulted in increasing the efficiency of humans. A good example of this are the 
machines used in factories which are 1000 times more efficient in doing some repetitive 
tasks compared to humans. This results in industry being able to supply the increasing 
demands of the ever-increasing population. Good examples of this are cars and packaged 
food products. 
Technology has also given us a second chance in case of unexpected events like diseases 
and natural calamities. Because of technology we can better respond to these problems. 
For example, vaccines are used extensively throughout the world when any particular 
pandemic or epidemic breaks out and now less life are lost due to natural disasters than 
before, thanks to the state of the art search and rescue equipment. 
Lastly, it has given us a purpose of our life. For example space technology has strived to 
explain our origins in the universe. Meanwhile also finding the roots of our own evolution. 
All this results in a better understanding of the forces of nature controlling our existence 
and better utilizing them for our own good.
