SCSS_2E5

I strongly disagree with the statement, I still think that Technology is more of a boon than a bane. One of the technology, Internet, allow people to connect with other people from all over the world, can informations easily and purchase things online. Cyber bullying does not often occurs, and even if it occurs, all we need to do is to report the case and then the authorities will send warning letters either via email or mail, so the cases of cyber bullying will become lesser. As for the scams, as users, we just need to look for a more reliable websites, like blogshop, to purchase the items. As long as we are careful enough, scams will not happen. I agree that if weapons fall on the wrong person, crimes may happen,robbery, but I think that, for people who wants to own a weapon should have a legal licence and state what is the uses of the weapon. If the reasons in invalid or the licence is not being approved, one will not own the weapon, and crimes could be prevented. Lastly, as for the transportation, I stronly disagree that it is more of a bane than a boon. This is because transportation is very important and convinience in Singapore. We need them to travel to the destination, without them, we will not be able to reach the destination. Although, recently there were cases where MRT trains break down, but as long as there are constant checks and repairs, this should not be a problem. Hence, I strongly disagree with this arguement.

Technology refers to the branch of knowledge that deals with creation and use of technical means and they are interrelation with life, society and environment. Boon is something to be thankful for while bane refers to something that might bring harm or ruins.I agree that technology is more of a boon than a bane to society. For example, a technological device, handphones, made us to communicate with each other in a easier way, like calling or texting the person we want to reach to. Secondly, it also serves as an entertainment, games and music and etc. Besides, another well-known technology is computer. Computer allows us to make things easier, for example, instead of writing a long passage out, we can simply just use the softwares in the computer, and the final work can be printed or sent to the person in charge, in a neat and tidy format. It also helps in companies, for example to store the information that can be found easily and be editted. Hence, it shows that technology really brings great convenience to the society, made life easier for people, hence I strongly believe that technology is more of a boon than a bane to the society.
