Lesson 55: Effects of technology on our life/ Why mobile phones are gaining its popularity?/ Memorable School Days

1: Effects of technology on our life

We are living in an era that is surrounded by technology. From the computers that we use for work, to the phones that we use to Interact and now the machines we use to stay fit, technology is everywhere and we are using it like never before. Although there are certain advantages associated with it, people often believe that technology has done more harm that it has done good. How can technology make our lives easier?

Technology is the application of scientific principles for the practical purposes. For example, we are using watches to get time, mobile phones to stay connected, Internet to grab knowledge etc and thus our life is made easier than before. Living without these amenities might have not affected our lives as in we would still have been living, but certainly we should have stayed in the primitive age. Technology has changed the way we study, work or even spend money. Gone are the days when we were limited to the physical resources we had, now there is so much more that we can get irrespective of whether it is around us or not. Technology has helped us in getting a better life standard with much more efficient tools and devices to help us in every possible way.

2: Why mobile phones are gaining its popularity?

Mobile phones are gaining popularity because they are easy to use and carry. You have a computer and camera in a device equivalent to your palm. Moreover, they are more affordable for the public and come without any legal complexities. Even more, it is more convenient than other means of communication when it comes to contacting the other person. I believe since a person gets everything, from Internet, to camera, to Interaction, mobile phones are gaining popularity and they definitely go a long way.

3:Memorable School Days:

To everyone, school days are considered as the best days of their life and they remember the memories for the rest of their life. I also have numerous memories of my school days and I miss the day when I got caught for school bunking. Recently I have passed my university and now waiting to take admission for my further education abroad. When I sit for studying the university admission materials, the past days appear before my eyes. I start missing those days. I was a student of the seventh grade at the Govt School in Mardan. There were some other students with me and we had formed a group. All of the group members used to occupy the last benches. Thus we were named as the ‘backbenchers’. Most of the times, the troubles in the class were created by us. But the teachers did not punish us severely or seriously as we were top students in the class as well. After any of the trouble, it became a policy of the teachers that they would ask us questions about our study and they could not make us stop with the academic issues. So, they could not punish us. Moreover, some of the students of the class were in our favor and thus we got rid of all the troubles.
