21科普知识
Withthe development of science and technology, people depend moreandmore heavily on technology, especially mobile phones andnetwork,which are the main inventions of modern technology. Theyarecompletely parts of our daily life, which unavoidably leads tothehuman beings isolation. Then how do they affectourlife?
Personally,on the one hand, they can be very helpful andconvenient to peoplein need. They can not only broaden ourknowledge about the world,but also reduce the distance betweenpeople around the world.Besides, they can also help us learn moreabout many fields ofstudies quickly on the Internet. They are veryconvenient to peoplewho are busy with their jobs, and have broughtabout many positivechanges in our lives.
Onthe other hand, both network and mobile phones may bring aboutsomenegative changes. For example, many children become soaddicted tocomputer games that they stay up late frequently. Worsestill, somestudents may look through some erotic webpages, whichwill affectthem physically and mentally. Last but not least, theradiation isharmful to people’s eyes, especiallytochildren’s.
Inconclusion, both the network and mobile phones have advantagesanddisadvantages. I think that only if we students use themcorrectlyin our study can we bring it into full play.
