Is progress always good?

By Manuel Sánchez


Since the beginning of the XX century the human kind has experienced a lot of technological progress that has changed our way to live. Some people say that it has taken us to real caves, changing our family’s structures, our hobbies. But in my opinion the progress in general has changed our life easier.

Firs of all we have to talk about the worldwide progress, I am talking about the medicine, that has improved the quality of live and the life expectancy is higher because of this, like projects in Africa and the entire world fighting against new diseases like AIDS.

On the other hand progress has taken us to our beds, till the point that everything is automatic, you do not have to do much and just pressing a button, and actually in some houses the things are done just talking to a machine. Many people say that internet has make us really lazy, for example children do not look any more in a dictionary; they just turn on their laptops and search in internet.

Despite this, the progress has changed all our way to live, making it easier and much more comfortable. Another significant improvement is the sphere of telecommunications that gave us cell phones, beepers, chats and networks that makes easier get in touch with others.

To summarize Progress is good but this is not a reason not to take the dog for a walk, or practice a sport, or hang out with friend in somewhere, etc.
