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裏程碑。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，使用網路已很流行。若幹年前，人們不得不查找大量資料來蒐集需要的信息，最後人累得疲憊不堪，還浪費了大量時間。現在，如果使用網路，一切就都是小菜一碟了。隻要輕敲鍵盤，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準，因為現代科技確實使生活變得更便捷。
