2. Progress wordsWhen you write and speak about computers and technology, very often you will be asked to say how technology has changed or progressed. Innovation /innovative (sáng tạo, tiến bộ): The cloud is one of the latest innovations in computer technology. Advance (tiến bộ/phát triển): One major advance is in the use of computers in transport regulation. Develop /development: It is not easy to predict how this technology is going to develop. Progress (tiến bộ): The 21st century has already seen considerable progress in computer technology. Revolution /revolutionary/ revolutionise (cách mạng): It is undeniable that computers have revolutionised our lives. 3. Impact of technologyAnother common topic is to talk about what effect computer technology has had on our lives Change: It goes without saying that the computer revolution has changed all our lives. Affect/effect: Generally speaking , most technology has had a beneficial effect on our lives. Influence/ influential: Few inventions have had a greater influence on mankind than the computer. Impact: It remains to be seen what the long-term impact of this technology will be. 4. Technology and computer wordsIt is very easy to keep on repeating the same word without knowing it. One way not to do this is to change the form of the word or to use it in a different phrase. Technology: One of the disadvantages of consumers of modern technology is that it rapidly becomes obsolete. Technological: Simple as it is, I believe that cell phone is the most significant technological innovation. Computer technology/ICT: Nowadays, one of the core subjects on any school’s curriculum is ICT and it is essential for school leavers to be computer literate. Information technology/IT: While computers have many possible applications, their greatest use is to allow us to exchange information- hence the name information technology. Computer literate: It is now almost impossible to work in an office, if you are not computer literate. The computer age: In fact, we could now be said to live in the computer age. 5. Adjective and TechnologyLabour-saving (tiết kiệm sức lao động): Perhaps the most influential inventions are relatively simple labour-saving devices such as the vacuum cleaner. Advanced (hiện đại): More advanced technology is not always the best. High: An example of this is how some high tech solutions are less reliable than the technology they replaced. Outdated/out-fashioned (lạc hậu): The pace of change in the computer industry means that hardware can become outdated or even obsolete. “obsolete” is similar in meaning to “outdated”, but is a stronger word to show that the technology is so old that it cannot be used any longer. It is normal to write “high tech” rather than “high technology”. 6. Technological DeviceDevice: We now have more leisure time because of labour-saving devices in the home such as the dishwasher. Equipment: A computer is no longer a luxury, but has become an essential piece of equipment for any student or employee. Gadget/gadget: We should not forget that many technological gadgets not only make out lives easier but are also fun to use. (A “device” is often something fairly small that allows you to complete a task. There is a strong collocation (very common phrase): “labour-saving device”. “Equipment” is an uncountable word so you need to say “a piece of equipment”. It is a very general use word that can be used to describe almost anything mechanical. “Gadget” is a word often used to describe objects that are either small or have a less serious purpose. EssayNowadays the way many people interact with each other has changed because of technology. In what ways has technology affected the types of relationships that people make? Has this been a positive or negative development?
Technology has had an impact on relationships in business, education and social life. Firstly, telephones and the Internet allow business people in different countries to interact without ever meeting each other. Secondly, services like Skype create new possibilities for relationships between students and teachers. For example, a student can now take video lessons with a teacher in a different city or country. Finally, many people use social networks, like Facebook, to make new friends and find people who share common interests, and they interact through their computers rather than face to face. On the one hand, these developments can be extremely positive. Cooperation between people in different countries was much more difficult when communication was limited to written letters or telegrams. Nowadays, interactions by email, phone or video are almost as good as face-to-face meetings, and many of us benefit from these interactions, either in work or social contexts. On the other In conclusion, technology has certainly revolutionised communication between people, but not all of the outcomes of this revolution have been positive New technologies have changed the way children spend their free time. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages? The technology revolution has massively influenced the way children spend their leisure time. While some people believe this is a negative trend, I would agree with those who argue this brings more benefits than drawbacks. On the one hand, it is undeniable that advanced technologies have some certain negative impacts on pupils. Firstly, modern technologies might contribute to making children so addicted to them that such important duties such as learning are not prioritized. For instance, several schoolboys in Vietnam skip classes to play online games. Secondly, spending hours on sitting in front of and keeping eyes glued to the screens will result in sedentary lifestyle, which will give rise to the likelihood of suffering from diseases such as obesity, eyes-relating diseases. On the other hand, I would argue that thanks to modern technologies, children have more opportunities to broaden their knowledge as well as keep in contact with their peers. One reason is that there are a variety of TV programmes or games which have not only served for entertainment purposes but also provided a world of knowledge and information. Thus, discerning parents would choose channels like Discovery or games like Math games so that their children could learn about wildlife or enhance their Math skills. Another reason is that innovative technologies such as social networking sites, message services have revolutionized communication, helping children keep in touch with their friends more conveniently. If students want to discuss with their classmates about lessons in school, they just need apps like Skype to send instant messages or video calls. In conclusion, I would restate that although there still remain problems with state- in-the-art technologies, they are making children’s free time more enjoyable and beneficial, provided that they are used properly. Information technology is changing many aspects of our lives and now dominates our home, leisure and work activities. To what extent do the benefits of information technology outweigh the disadvantages? In recent years, the profound impacts of Information Technology are believed to cause the domination in home and daily activities. Many feel that this development has brought about significant convenience and benefits, whereas others claim that information technology is without its great number of drawbacks. From my perspective, I am in favour of the former for some reasons. On the one hand, it is an undeniable fact that since the introduction of information technology, humans have started to become increasingly reliable and lazy. For example, more and more children choose to stay indoors and watch TV rather than going out and exploring new things. Furthermore, parents begin to abandon the habit of reading newspaper and articles due to a variety of Internet news websites. As a result, this reliability in long term might cause serious eye diseases and even increase the risk of obesity. On the other hand, there is no doubt that the advantages of technology have made life far beyond easy. First, a great deal of time and money is saved due to the convenience of information technology. For example, it is truly clear that one a computer can replace tons of papers or with only one click we can find exactly what we want without traversing anywhere. Secondly, circulation has been made comparatively quicker thanks to this information evolution. Therefore, in case of an emergency like unexpected disasters, announcements could be made in time for every family to prepare for. All in all, besides a small number of its disadvantages, information technology has proved to become a success since its birth. Above all, people should be smart to use this wonderful invention in order to avoid unwanted abuses. Trên đây là toàn bộ những kiến thức có liên quan đến chủ đề ” Topic Technology” .
