IELTS Sample Answer Writing Task 2 #002

Life was simpler when technology was less advanced.
Do you agree or disagree?

Sophisticated technology has brought people to be busier than the past. While some argue that life without hi-tech is more simply, I disagree with the initiative notion because many advancements in technology have led to reducing any difficulty citizens have such as easy transportation and simplicity in keeping memories alive.

The improvement of breakthrough technology in vehicles and all terrains provides easy transport for citizens. Such transports result in society visiting their families who live in different part of the country more easily.  The Shinkanzen bullet train in Japan, for instance, facilitates Japaneses traveling from a city like Tokyo to other cities in the short-time, approximately 320 km/h when it was almost impossible to be reached in the previous years. However, that more trains travel offering short-time traveling is bound to increase hand in hand with more pollution.

Again, digital camera such a Canon N70 has made our lives easier and allowed to take care of our memories alive. Photography activities that cost more money and need more effort can be done with one simple click. In the past, for example, we had to do it in dark room and waited for couple days to see the results, but these days people tend to use their digital camera whenever and wherever they like. Despite this, simplicity in taking picture are more likely to cause disputes among member of families or friends.

In conclusion, some difficulties which inhabitants have in these days could be diminished by breakthrough technology like modern transport and keeping memories alive through digital camera. However, there are other possible consequences in particular cases.
