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.

　　現代科技使生活更加便捷

　　現代科技使生活更加便捷；工具是科技進步和人類進步的裡程碑。人類過去用手鋸鋸樹，但是現在，用電鋸可在幾分鍾內鋸倒一棵樹。另外一個例子更加生動形象：如果你有急事通知你的朋友，而他家距你家有2小時的路程，你可能想打個電話。但是你的朋友家又沒安電話，你該怎麽辦？如今，隨著現代科技的進步，使用網絡已很流行。若乾年前，人們不得不查找大量資料來搜集需要的信息，最後人累得疲憊不堪，還浪費了大量時間。現在，如果使用網絡，一切就都是小菜一碟了。衹要輕敲鍵磐，就會有求必應。

　　我們都期待著現代科技能達到一個更高的水平，因爲現代科技確實使生活變得更便捷。
