The only way forward

Exam November 2014
Task 2A Use the information in the preparation material to create a text in which you discuss the

statement “Modern digital technology is a blessing and the only way forward”.

In this task I am going to discuss the statement “Modern digital technology is a blessing and the only way forward”.

My opinion about this statement is that most of the digital technology makes different things much faster and easier to do. Therefore it may be the only way forward. It can help to communicate all over the world, and then countries can help each other and cooperate. If the technology stops at this stage, we will probably just end up standing at the same place and not getting forward, so I think it’s important with new technology.

Although if the modern digital technology is the only way forward it’s scary to think about how the world is going to develop. Think about the last ten years. The technology has become big just by ten years. In 2005 the cellphones were just used when you needed to call or text someone. You could use the internet, but it was very expensive and slow. Maybe you had some games you could play, but the phones were definitely not used as much as today.

We use our phones more and more, it becomes easier, cheaper and faster. In today’s society everyone uses their phones all the time. We can almost do everything by using smartphones. We can search for facts, we can communicate, use social medias or even order clothes.
The negative side about develop of the technology is that we use less time together, playing, talking and having fun. If we talk today it’s usually over the internet and not in real life. The internet is everywhere today and you can do whatever you want with it.

It’s always something new coming up, and that's what makes us move forward.
