What the technology is
When it was invented
What it is used for
And explain how you feel about it

Answer

This piece of technology that I really like using is Dyson vacuum cleaner, an electric appliance. I don't know exactly when it was invented, to be honest. Regular vacuum cleaners may have been around for many decades, but it seems like the Dyson ones have only been in the market for a couple of years. Unlike the ordinary vacuum cleaners, which are very clumsy, this product looks kind of like a machine gun. It's portable and handy. It can not only be used for cleaning the floor, but also for sanitizing pillows, sofa cushions and things like that. It's very easy to use. I only have to point the head of it to the place or things that need to be cleaned and then pull the trigger, just like firing a gun and the dirt will be sucked into the cleaner easily. I think it's a very useful invention, because it saves a lot of manual and labor work for me. Cleaning the house has now become relaxing or even fun . I'm grateful for this piece of technology.

Do you think that technology always has positive effects?

Answer

Technology has its pros and cons. On the one hand, we have an easy access to the lessons that interest us, which will increase our overall knowledge. But if we spend too much time being entertained on the Internet, playing computer games or chatting on line, for instance, then we are more likely to become lazy and aggressive.

Do you agree that men are more obsessed with new technology than women?

Answer

Generally, it is true that men are more addicted to new technology than women. There are more male computer programmers than the female ones around me. And they would like to talk about the latest technology, like iPhone X, Apple Watch and Mac with great enthusiasm.

How to teach older generation to use new technology?

Answer

Personally, one of the important steps before teaching older generation should be letting them embrace technology. As a matter of fact, most senior citizens have phobia for technology, be it the computers, Internet or the iPod. So, if we manage to let them pick up new things, technology can be effectively learned.

Is there any difference between technology in cities and in small towns?

Answer

I think the difference is that some new technologies appear first in big cities before they gain their popularity in smaller towns. And as people in small towns are getting richer, they now have almost equal access to technology, which is a good example of social equality.

Do you like to use new technology?

Answer

Yes, I do. I'm a big fan of new technology and new gadgets, such as smart phones and tablets. It always makes me very excited when there's a new product coming out. These new products are often user-friendly and can make our life better.
