I am focusing my topic on how technology contributes to the human beings and the world. Technology is always a very controversial topic. The world has developed a lot thanks to the science and technology; however, it has its downside too. So I am going to talk about what are some good and bad things technologies have done.
After reading the comments on my prospectus, I came up with more ideas. First, I want to focus on how technology developed the world, for example, the inventions of the cell phones, cars, computers, etc. People take advantages of the technology and we have entered into the information era. Technologies not only give people convenience, but also give people hope when they suffer from disease. There are lots of new technology in the field of life sciences and medicine. Second, I would like to draw my attention to the inferior sides that technology does to the world: the inventions of bombs, nuclear power, plastic and clone. People are getting lazy when some kinds of cool technologies were invented such as calculators, computers with grammar check, cars, etc. People get too lazy and start to use these high techs instead of doing things on their own.
The two articles from the resource are talking about how technology has both good and bad sides. I also found an article talking about the limitations of email, text messages and technology.
I know this is a quite big topic and is fairly hard to focus. Hopefully, I could get these ideas all together and come up something nice.
The resources I am trying to use are listed as follow.

  1. One of the explanations that instructors and educators press on to allot http://www.uk-essay.net expositions is to test learners to think their route through a maintained presentation or contention in a sensible manner.
