new technology- a threat or a promise

I feel that new technology is both a threat and a promise, for it benefit and brought harm to us at the same time. To elaborate further;

Threat

Firstly, let’s talked about the threat and harm new technology had brought and contribute to the world. Due to the advanced technology, many types of machines are invented. One of such examples is the vehicles, whereby there are the transport buses, taxis, trains and cars. These are our daily transport that, students take to school every morning, but nobody noticed that these vehicles are actually bringing harms to us. The threat that these vehicles had caused is air pollution to the environment, which might lead to the seriousness of global warming if neglected. Another point is that do you know that we are in the state of danger whereby the global warming is getting more and more serious. This is due to the poisonous substances and harmful gases released by the vehicles. When these harmful gases accumulate, over a period of time, it will gradually lead to greenhouse effect. Everyday, there are millions and billions of such machines a day going all over the world and giving out an undefined amount of harmful substances. This is the reason why I feel that new technology is a threat. Compare to the past, we do not have such cases affecting the environment. In the past, people usually walk or cycle so there is no way that can produce the harmful gases the cars are contributing. Despite the threats we are facing, there is also promises that benefited us and we should not excluded.

Promise

With the new technology, vehicle was invented and we can now take transport to and forth places more conveniently and within a shorter period of time. These vehicles include the buses, taxi, trains and cars. These advanced machines have helped us to save time and allow us to travel at a faster rate. Our lives are easier now compared to the past whereby the only transport they had was bicycle and their legs. No matter how short or how long the distance the people need to travel, they could only cycle or by walking. Now we are luckier that we could sit in comfort on the vehicle and reaches our destination in a short while. Isn’t this considered as a promise, for we do not need to be so tough like the past? We could now move around places to places easily with no much of hard work.
