about cars

Is a fact that cars are an important part of our society as we live it now. Many people are crazy about the desing and the mechanic of them as the history of them in time, we even have plays to hit the person right next to you when you see a certain tipe of car. 

I live next a principal street so I can hear cars and buses all night long and about six am I woke up just for the noise of people moving, so I get used to it but it is very uncomfortable when at 7 am they start being rude to each other. This is one of the things I really do not like about so many cars in the city, even sometimes people use their cars to move a block from they are.

I think we might be depending to much on cars sometimes, maybe not all population can develop this depending because of the money and ages (kids and old people can not drive them) but it is a fact that in all big cities we have cars to transport and that is, at least in Chile, a symbol of status. Maybe that is another thing that made us depend on cars, and obviously because they are the faster way to get anywhere most of the time, and if it is not is always the most comfortable.

Following this last ideas I think that they are a great invention as a toy and as a transport, very usefull for people who work until late, for when you have kids, have to carry around a lot of things or for people who travel a lot. Another great use of them are the creation of taxi services that now complement with cellphones technology to be safer than before. 

To conclude, I  think cars are a great invention but that we need to think in ways to use them better to save natural recourses and to make them not a problem, like the noise and screaming in the morning or evening, but a less complicated solution.

"Technology is becoming more prevalent in our lives and world. There are pros and cons to this situation. Discuss both, and state whether you see more pros or cons with this."

Is a real thing that we can not live without technology these days or at least it should be very difficult. In one day we use a cellphone, a tv, computers, and machines for everything: coffe, papers, food and to pay all that things. A impressive thing of the week in fact is that the new Metro line has no driver or cashier so if they do not have securuty people you do not see people working in there.

A lot of people love the fact that there are not people working there mainly because is faster to charge the Bip card. Is well known that people are slower than machines and that they make less mistakes. Another reason because we use a lot of this machines or smart stuff is because they made our lives much more easy and even fun, for example when I am in home and remember a had to read a text that i do not have in paper, most of the time I can download it and have it in seconds in my coputer or IPad and even in my cellphone so I can read it anywhere. And when you are bored in a space where is nothing to do you can be on social media and comunicate when people or see videos, bacause it is like the principal reason we use tecnology now is not for the original reason.

In contrast we have to fight to the web sites that somethimes are the only way to ask for an appoinment o change your information of pages of the goverment. This last one is a real problem to old people because most of them do not know how to use computers or advanced technology and the goverment most of the time ask to people to enter a web site to do paper work that you used to do in an office. Here we can see another problem: people are getting without their jobs because of the machines that replace them, and it is something that we used to read when kids as science fiction but now is real. Maybe this is going much more fast that we can and is definetly making changes in the society, for example kids get home from school and the lock inside computers and video games and is well known that it contribute to health problems, a thing that was unusual even when we were kids.

I apreciate more the technology that con be use for only one or two propouses, like washes machines. Maybe if we get too into the not really nesessary technology things we can lose our mind, like we do on Facebook. Also we need to apreciate the work for the people and not try to replace it because it can be bad used.

In conclude, we need technology, is not bad to create things that make our lifes easier but we need to think in how it can and will be used, the people that will be afected and try to think on all de consecuences.
