Nowadays technological progress is being developed very fast. It has really great results now. But it’s not a secret that technology contributes to people’s poor health. I’m sure it’s true.
For example, factories that make computers and cars pollute the air. Besides, people have got used to having a lot of appliances in their lives and became very lazy.
But on the other hand, if there weren’t cars and planes we wouldn’t be able to travel and visit different countries and cities. By the way, there are many things that help people to treat different illnesses and prevent a lot of deaths.
Technological development helps people in their everyday life. Summing up I can say that technological progress affect a quality of our life. It has both advantages and disadvantages, but it’s necessary for development of humanity.

Nowadays technology development happens very fast. No doubt it makes our life easier. But progress makes it less healthy too. I think it damages people’s life a lot.
For example, cars are one of the greatest achievements of the technology progress. Theirs role in our life is huge; almost every family has its own. But cars aren’t so harmless. The exhaust gases affect people’s health. Mobile phones act the same way. It helps to reach any person you want to talk to no matter where he is. But on the other hand its waves may be harmful for person, who put his phone near his body.
However with the help of modern technology people have got a lot of medicines which saved many people’s life. Besides, now scientists in the whole world are trying to invent a cure for AIDS. If they are successful there will be fewer deaths from this disease.
But now there are more harm things of technology progress then useful.

Nowadays technological progress is developing very rapidly and has achieved great results. It makes people's life much easier. However technological progress contributes to poor human health. I agree with this opinion.
For example, a lot of people like to travel, especially, by car it is fast, comfortable, helps them to save plenty of time and they can stop where are they want. On the other hand traveling by car is bad for ecology and heath. Also computers, televisions, mobile phones and other electronic equipment emit radiation which is harmful for a person.
Also, thanks to technological progress, we can know such geniuses of science as Galileo Galilei, Gregory Mendel, Albert Einstein, Aristotle, Herodotus... For example, the principle of the laser was first known in 1917, when physicist Albert Einstein described the theory of stimulated emission. Today laser are used, for example, in corrective eye surgery, providing a precise source of heat for cutting tissue.
To sum up, I think that echnological progress has some advantages and disadvantages, but it is necessary for the development of mankind.

Different machines facilitate our life but some of them do less healthy us. I think it is true.

Firstly, machines do the hardest work for people. And people move less, they get fat and less healthy. Secondly, factories contaminates air. It cause to illness of people. Thirdly, computer and mobile phone spoile the eyes and posture.

On the other hand, technological progress makes people's life easier. They erase and wash up. Moreover, machines help us travel quick. It is plane, cars, train, ships. In addition, some machines help scientific discoveries. Icebreaker paved the way to researching Antarctica.

Technological progress needed but it get us less healthy.

Nowadays, technological progress develops very fast. For example, people communicated through letters and home phones last century, but now almost everyone has a mobile phone and internet. Using a mobile phone we can call to any place on Earth. With the help of the internet we can send letters and get answers in less than a minute. Technological progress makes people's life easier. But it is also proved that some appliances have a bad impact on a human. I agree with this opinion.
On one hand, technological progress really shortens human’s health, but it makes human’s life easier. Almost everyone has a microwave. It helps a person to spend less time on cooking. But it's been confirmed that microwave cooking significantly changes food nutrients. It causes the decrease of the haemoglobin level. Cars also help people in their everyday life: people can move from place to place very fast and comfortably. But cars emit a lot of exhausts in the air. It is dangerous to people’s health. Scientists have tried to increase productivity of plants and animals to make products cheaper. And now a lot of products are GMO (Genetically modified organisms). It is very dangerous.
On the other hand, scientists invent medicines and vaccines against different dangerous diseases. For example, by the mid-18th century smallpox was a major endemic disease everywhere in the world. In Europe smallpox was a leading cause of death in the 18th century, killing approximately 400,000 Europeans each year. Nowadays, there is a vaccine. For many people life became more difficult. Machines on factory do all the work instead of humans, thus people become unemployed.
In conclusion I want to say that technological progress definitely affects the human condition. It is as bad as good, but I think that technological progress makes people's life easier but less healthy.

Nowadays technological progress is developing very rapidly and has achieved great results. It makes people's life much easier. However technological progress is killing our health slowly, because if technological development continues it will lead to catastrophe around the world.
On the one hand, technological development helps people in everyday life. For example, we can not imagine our life without a mobile phone or a computer. Moreover, we can not live without vehicles. For instance, cars and planes are needed for a person in the modern society. There is a quick way to travel. Also, thanks to technological progress, we can know such geniuses of science as Galileo Galilei, Gregory Mendel, Aristotle, Herodotus...
On the other hand, technological progress leads to the destruction of human health. Firstly, it is environmental problems. For example, exhaust fumes from cars and factories that pollute atmosphere. Secondly, it is emission. Computers, televisions, mobile phones and other electronic equipment emit radiation which is harmful for a person. Thirdly, people are getting lazy with the advent of new technology. Robots do everything for the person.
In conclusion I would like to say that technological development has some advantages and disadvantages, but it is necessary for the development of mankind.

Nowadays technological development of humanity makes people’s life much easier. But it provides reduction of human health’s rate. To my way of thinking, if this goes ahead, it can lead to very bad situation.
On the one hand, new technologies help people in their daily life. For example, we can’t live without cars or cell phones now. Moreover, our life would have been another if we hadn’t known what electricity is and how it can be used. Though some modern inventions are considered like goods, others are needed for ill people.
On the other hand, there are many kind of technologies which just do people’s job instead of them. For instance, there are a lot of factories that produce by means of robots in developed countries. More than that, we have devices having a great impact on health. Our TV sets and computer could be very harmful if we spent much time for work with them. And I want to mention that modern kinds of transport emit a great amount of carbon dioxide in the air.
In conclusion I would like to say that technological development of humanity always has the bad and the good sides. And I believe that people will come to consequence.

Nowadays technological progress has a great important in all spheres of our life. On one hard it makes peoples life more easier. But on the other hand less healthy. But we can not deny that technological progress have captured as our everyday life as our working activity.
Of course we can point out it is advantages and disadvantages. Lets stared with the advantages. Firstly, technological inventions such as computers, cars, home appliances, Internet and other simplify people`s life. People have more free time and it lets them to be more creative. Machines do such thinks that previously people did. Secondly, technological innovations help cope with such problems that were unsolvable before . For example: people can reach their distention much faster using modern vehicles. Nowadays people can threat many incurable diseases . And of course the most remarkable event is the first man space flight.
Lets consider the disadvantages of this progress. First of all, it makes people`s life less healthy. It happeneds be cause people spend all days sitting on the computer , watching TV , driving their cars. They move loss and it leads to the health problems . Secondly, in modern technological society, computers and calculating machines «think» for people. As result people can not make decision. Thirdly, technological progress can lead to the global catastrophe.
In the conclusion we can avoided it To my opinion technological progress is a natural development of our world .I can say that process is rather complex and requires great attention and responsibility. We should be careful in what we do and what we create.

Nowadays we can see how many different achievements of technical progress we use in everyday life. Microwaves, mobile phones, computers <live> in every home. These appliances firmly entrenched in our life. We can`t do everyday work without these things.
On the one hand technological progress makes people`s life easier but, unfortunately, less healthy. We have so much examples of this! Every day the most part of us spends too much time with a computer. When we work or play commuter games we spoil our eyes and get back pain. Obviously
that it is harm for our health. The other example is using of cars. We drive so much that we almost give up the idea of going on foot. It leads us to be fat and lack of physical activity. We understand that this fact is not good for our health also.
But on the other hand we know whole useful of technological achievements. So much different and very dangerous illness can be cured thanks to breakthroughs of modern pharmaceutical technology and genetic, for example. We can find different information on the Internet and don`t have to go to the library and have stress if it is closed, or we haven`t time to go there in general. So these are examples of good influence of technological progress on our health.
In the conclusion I would like to say that technique develops by so big steps that we can`t prevent it. And this on my mind is a normal process. Technological progress makes people`s life easier but what about health it has as a positive as a negative role is our choice. It`s our choice to play computer games for hours, to go only by car without walks. It`s people choice to make harm for the health. It`s not the choice of technological progress. May be there is only one fault of technological progress. It makes us be lasy.
