Scientific and technical progress
The basis of scientific and technical progress of today is new informational technology which is very different from all the previous technologies. Thanks to up-to-date software and robots new informational technologies can make many processes much faster and transmit information more quickly. It is important today because the quantity of information is growing rapidly.
New informational society has its peculiarities. Firstly, more and more employees work in the sphere of service and information. Secondly, more and more huge databases appear to collect and store the information. And finally, information and IT become goods and start playing an important part in the country's economy.
These processes affect social structures and values.
It becomes important to learn to get new knowledge quickly and sometimes to change your qualifications. IT can first lead to unemployment, but later create even more workplaces especially for highly qualified professionals. While the hardest work can be performed by robots and routine calculations by computers, in the future people with the most creative mind and numerous fresh ideas will get better career chances.
On one hand technology development gives more access to professional and cultural information and leads to new forms of individual enterprises, but on the other hand there is a danger of total control of private life unless special laws are enforced by the government.
Another danger is "intellectual terrorism" when computer viruses block important programs.
There are other directions of technical and scientific progress of today.
One of them is the development of new ecologically clean sources of energy using sun, gravity, winds or rain. New kind of transports and new agricultural methods that do not harm our nature are being developed today.
Breakthroughs in science have led to the creation of artificial viruses for new medicines and products, body organs for transplantation and productive soils for growing vegetables and crops. Many new materials and technologies are being used in our everyday life.
All these innovations may have influence on our life, social relations and globally on our Earth.
The influence can be very different: from psychological and health problems of children who spend too much time online to an opportunity to prevent genetic diseases for future generations.
But the most difficult problems the humanity faces are global problems.
The first and foremost is ecological problem: pollution of air, water and soil, exhaustion of natural resources. Renewable natural resources such as oxygen, forests, flora and fauna do not have enough time to regenerate. This leads to different changes in climate and nature such as depletion of the ozone layer and other things that has not been properly studied by scientists yet.
Other crucial problems include wars, epidemics, and demographic problems.
The only way to solve them is to work globally and in cooperation with other countries. And here the humanity should find a way to use new technologies for the common good. The solution of these problems cannot be postponed because otherwise people will have fewer chances to survive on this planet.
Scientific and technical progress
Today, scientific and technological progress is based on new information technologies (IT), which are significantly different from all previous technologies. With the latest software and robots, new IT can speed up many processes and transfer information faster. This is important today because the amount of information is growing rapidly.
The new information society has its own characteristics. First, more and more employees work in the service and information sector. Secondly, there are more and more huge database repositories for collecting and storing information. Finally, information and IT are becoming commodities and starting to play an important role in the country's economy.
These processes influence social structures and values.
It becomes important to acquire new knowledge quickly and sometimes change your qualifications. IT may initially lead to unemployment, but then it creates even more jobs for highly skilled professionals. While the hardest work may be done by robots and standard calculations by computers, in the future, people with the most creative minds and the most fresh ideas will have the best career opportunities.
On the one hand, the development of technology gives more access to professional and cultural information and leads to the creation of new forms of individual enterprises, but on the other hand, there is a danger of total control over private life, unless special laws are passed by the government.
Another danger is "intellectual terrorism" when computer viruses block important programs.
There are other directions of development of scientific and technological progress today.
One of them is the development of new environmentally friendly energy sources using the sun, gravity, wind or rain. Today, new modes of transport and new agricultural methods are being developed that do not harm nature.
Scientific discoveries have led to the creation of artificial viruses for new drugs and products, organs for transplantation, and productive soils for growing vegetables and cereals. Many new materials and technologies are used in our daily life.
All these innovations can have an impact on our lives, social relationships and globally on our Earth.
The impact can range from psychological and health problems in children who spend too much time on the Internet to the ability to prevent genetic diseases in future generations.
But the most difficult problems that humanity faces are global problems.
The first and foremost is the environmental problem: air, water and soil pollution, depletion of natural resources. Renewable natural resources such as oxygen, forests, flora and fauna do not have enough time to recover. This leads to various changes in the climate and in nature, such as the depletion of the ozone layer and other phenomena that are not yet well understood by scientists.
Other key issues are wars, epidemics and demographic problems. The only way to solve them is to work globally and in cooperation with other countries. And here humanity must find a way to use new technologies for the common good. The solution of these problems cannot be postponed, otherwise people will have less chance to survive on this planet.

People in contemporary world can hardly imagine their lives without machines. Every day either a new gadget is invented or an old one is improved. Different people appreciate new inventions differently. Some suppose that sophisticated gadgets are really useful and necessary, while others find them absolutely awful as they influence people badly. As for me, I am pretty sure that gadgets make people`s lives easier.
Firstly, they do all kinds of dirty and hard work, as cleaning. Secondly, devices can save a lot of time as well as storage space. For instance, a computer disk can contain the same amount of information as several thick books.So, machines help people in different spheres.
However, opponents of this point of view are definitely sure that gadgets affect people negatively. People are reluctant to work due to the influence of machines. People become lazy and disorganized. They just expect their latest gadgets to do everything instead of them. According to scientists, a great number of widespread devices produce radiation moreover that can cause serious health problems. Furthermore, more and more people are becoming addicted to their modern gadgets, for instance computers, TVs or mobile phones. So, they neglect their home obligations, work or school and spend all their spare time in front of a laptop screen or a TV-set.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that in spite of all the drawbacks, gadgets have, their benefits are much more considerable, as they save people`s time and let them enjoy life.
Translation:
Modern man can hardly imagine his life without cars. Every day, either new devices appear, or existing ones are improved. People react differently to new inventions. Some believe that sophisticated gadgets are actually useful and necessary, while others consider them terrible because of their negative impact on people. As for me, I am absolutely sure that new devices make our life easier.
First, they do all the dirty and hard work like cleaning. Secondly, the devices save both time and space. For example, a computer disk can hold as much information as several thick books. So, machines help people in various fields of activity.
However, opponents of this point of view are absolutely sure that new inventions negatively affect people. People do not want to work because of the influence of devices. They become lazy and disorganized. They are waiting for their latest inventions to do everything for them. Moreover, according to scientists, many widespread gadgets emit radiation that can cause serious health problems. In addition, more and more people are becoming dependent on the computer, TV or mobile phone. They ignore their household chores, school or work and spend all their time in front of a laptop or TV screen.
In conclusion, I believe that, despite all the disadvantages, the advantages of gadgets are much more significant, as they save time and allow people to enjoy life!
