IELTS TASK 2 - Technology advancement

Essay question: People now have freedom to work and live anywhere in the work due to the development of communication technology and transportation.Do the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?

Today, thanks to the high-tech contacting and moving facilities' advancement, folks are allowed to work as well as live everywhere all over the world freely. Hence, I suppose that the drawbacks are outweighed by the benefits of that development.

On the one hand, it is obvious that the distance between people is made by technology. For example, a person is far away from home can use Skype or Facebook to his family, but he just can return once or twice a year. Moreover, using the Internet to maintain the contact causes less love and warmth than meeting face-to-face. In lieu of sending sweet messages and emojis, it is a lot more meaningful when we communicate directly, especially to express our feelings by kissing and hugging each other.

On the other hand, I argue that there are some upside that would be noticeable. One evident strength is that it would help us to travel, work, live and call our family whenever and anywhere we want to, so we can easily discover parts of the world, improve our languages and work in a proffesional environment. To illustrate, when people have an opportunity to work in developed countries such as America, China, England, Japan, it means that they have truly ability required for the jobs. Doubtlessly, those people will benefit from enhancing skills, getting knowledge that they had not learnt in their countries’ schools and having high salary futhermore. Of course, they can keep contact with their relatives through the Internet and come back home by convenient means of transport.

With respect to the positive aspects of the trend and living overseas, I believe that they outweigh the negative aspects on account of enrichment of knowledge and skills when we are there.
