As the society develops, there are more and more new technology products in our life. They change our life habit and life style. At the first time they appear, everyone thought they are good for our life, but more and more people found some problems in the past several years. How to appraise the new technology? We need to look at the problem’s pros and cons.

In my opinion, the thing which has greatest influence in our life is cell phone. Cell phone creates a new way to communicate. Before cell phone appears, the main communicative ways were talking face to face and writing letters. With a cell phone, we can contact other anytime and anywhere we want. The contact between people is easy, so we’re able to have more and more friends. There are also many useful functions of a cell phone. We can send messages, surf the net, listen to music, play interesting games, and take pictures. However, cell phone can make our life convenient and comfortable.

It sounds great, but cell phones also bring some problems to us. The radiations of cell phone are threatening our life everyday. Sub-health, it’s a new word that appeared several years ago. The radiation from technology products is one of the overriding reasons. What’s scary? Killing people in the invisible.

More and more people like staying at home and going online when they are free. Because of the Internet, we can know anything happening in the world at home without getting in touch with others. I sometimes wonder if too many of our young friends are overly computer literate, even as they are starving inwardly from loneliness and alienation.

Everything is bilateral. It’s up to how you look at and how you control it. Facing more and more new technology products, we should control them well instead of being controlled by them. Making the best use of everything, our life can be better.
