HOT TOPIC THREE Science and Technology
Science and technology – This is one of those things that is changing rapidly in the society. Computers, MP 4, appliances are all part of the development of Science and technology. Any kind of change about these things usually has a very strong impact on us, some positive and some negative. Questions about pros and cons about this topic are often asked by the examiners during the exam. And anything about science and technology can become a question in IELTS speaking test. Here are some example questions candidates should know.
1. Do you think computer will replace TV in the future?
I think the computer has already replaced TV in the present time. People can download the movies or the TV series that they would like to watch from the internet. We can even enjoy watching our favorite Talk shows via internet too. The you tube is very famous nowadays because we get to see not only movies or programs but demonstrations about doing some of the things that we would like to learn to do.
2. What are the disadvantages of high technology?
High technology certainly takes away the virtue of patience in us because everything is fast paced. Some of us get out of touch with nature and are not able to enjoy playing with the frogs and enjoying the cool wind and sunshine outside because we prefer to play computer games inside the house. Mobile phones come in handy as we can easily get in touch with people whenever we need to. But with this convenience also comes consequences because studies proved that using mobile phones are harmful not only to our brain but also to the different parts of our body organs.
3. Should young people adapt with the changes of technology now?
Actually, it’s not only the youth that should adapt to the changes of technology but the adults and seniors as well. For many years, people who live miles apart from their families are only able to get in touch through snail mails and long distance telephone calls. But nowadays, they can easily get in touch with each other via webcam and headset phones. It is very convenient but both parties must at least know how to open the computer and be able to enjoy the use of these.
