Communication technology has developed tremendously over the last few decades. There are cellular phones with many functions such as a built-in camera, MP3 player, and mobile games. Being able to use e-mails and messengers on the Internet has made our lives convenient. Many of us appreciate the convenience that modern communication offers, but some think otherwise. They believe that communication technology causes modern ills such as hurry sickness. There are certainly advantages and disadvantages in using modern communication technology.
One of the advantages of modern communication technology is that it has made our lives easier by providing fast connections between people. It is much easier to communicate with our loved ones now. Cellular phones and e-mail are used by many people every day worldwide. They can also be used to take care of business much faster because users are not limited by time or distance. These communication devices have also saved many lives in emergency situations.
However, there are some downsides. People nowadays are too dependent on communication tools. Not having a cellular phone can make someone nervous. Furthermore, cellular phones can bother people around the user. For example, about 98 percent of public transport users carry a cellular phone with them. Some of them do not bother setting their phone on vibrate, and when it rings, it can be quite bothersome for others. Talking on the cellular phones really loudly also makes others uneasy.
In conclusion, I believe that the technological development of communication tools must not be stopped in any way. We will have even more advanced gadgets in the near future. In order to take the full advantage of them, we must handle the advancements wisely and sensibly so that it affects human life in a positive way. After all, people come before technology. (310 words)
