The 21st century is the century of technology. Several technologies that we usually use are the Internet, computer, and cell phone. These new technologies make our life much easier and better.
First, the development of computer changes our life. Since the development of computer, people are able to use some kind of software to compute(用计算机计算)lots of complex functions and mathematical calculation. The computer becomes the most helpful equipment for the scientists because they can use their time more efficiently.
Also, Internet is another useful tool for us today. The development of Internet brings a great impact toward the society. Instead of going to library to get some information, we can just simply use a mouse and click on the website to do research. The Internet leads us to a place where we can find unlimited information and resources. It makes our life much easier and better.
The last technology is cell phone. Nowadays, many people have a cell phone. But it just appeared on the market about 10 years ago. It is very convenient to the users because we can talk to anyone we want with a phone as small as a wallet. Also, we can communicate with others by making a phone call instead of sending letters. It is a very fast and useful way to communicate.
In conclusion, I believe the development of technology brings significant impact to our life. It is very helpful to us and I believe technology will keep improving in the future.
