Should people use technology in transportation?
Do you prefer the car with sophisticated technology? According to the author, in the past,
people were using animals to transport from one place to another (Lambert 1). In my country,
100 years ago, people were using camels to help them move to any place that they wanted. Also,
camels were instruments that people put their stuff in when they leave , such as their house
because houses were made from camel hair and sheep. With the presence of technology in
transportation, human can go to the moon, and can discover the universe . Technology has
changed the form and the lives of human ,technology affects on the habits and traditions of the
people. New goods, machinery, medical equipment, and means of communication are the best
instruments that make technologies useful. I suggest people use technology to transport for
several reasons, such as early arrival , protection, and helping people to finish their work faster.
The first reason is early arrival . For example, trains are important in present time because
trains become faster way to move on earth. In China, people use trains a lot of to transport that
because of severe congestion in the streets . At the same time, America does not use trains
rarely. The numbers of trains in China are more than America . As stated by the author, China has
the fastest train in the world. The speed of the train is 430 kilometers per hour (Top ten fastest
trains in the World 2). Someone may object to this reason. He may say that there may be a lot of
accidents, specifically in crossing. However, engineers put up warning device, such as doors that
close automatically before the train come. So, trains accidents with cars are rarely .
The second reason is protection. For example, planes are safest transport in the world.
Airbus A380 is the biggest plane in the world. It was made in 2004, and the first actual fight was
in 2005. Plane engines were made by Rolls-Royce Company (Humphries, Matthew). The
Andalusian Abbas, Firnas his first attempt in aviation history in 887 AD, so he made the wings
to use them in an attempt to fly near the Rusafa Palace in Libya, but his attempt failed to die on
impact.Someone may say that in the world, there are many accidents and troubles that happen to
planes. Also in recent years, there have been many cases of disappearances, such as the
Malaysian plane's disappearance and French plane's disappearance (Missing Malaysia plane).
However, these events are very rare. From a hundred trips possible getting error in one trip.
Also, if we used animals to transport, animals would die. In that event , we would need to walk
long distances.
The third reason is helping people to finish their work faster. In the past, people had walked
when they wanted to travel to cities close to them. My father told me that his father walked from
Iraq to the north of Saudi Arabia in almost ten days, but now people can move a hundred
kilometers an hour. Someone may say that technology is dangerous when we use it in
transportation because some people may use it in bad ways, such as for driving fast and drifting.
However, technology in transportation helps people to move easily. Also, in every country there
are laws to impose people to don't use technology badly. In the past, cars were just a way to
transport from place to another, but now cars became more grandeur, and companies have
became care of the style of cars more than being a mere means of movement. Most young people
have became seeking for luxury and sports cars.
In addition, technology helps people to make their life easy , and it helps them to visit
each other by quite simple way. Technology has many benefits. No one can deny that technology
has helped people overcome nature, and then provided a civilized lifestyle. During the successive
eras, technology is in the evolution . Although there are a lot of benefits of the technology, there
are many damages, such as bad use and makes a person more introverted. In ancient times,
animals were the only instrument to transport from place to another. In general, technologies
redound our life easy (Thakur,Arun). Aircraft are very complex machines. Aircraft have to get a
system which is called Navigation system. . In my opinion, technology makes daily life more
comfortable, so I suggest people use technology every day in everything because it makes the
hard thing easy.
