my assignment
I was late in submitting my writing assignment so I think it might be useful to post it up here for a change. I must say that it was rather difficult to write an essay with a limitation of 150 words.
“The disadvantages of the new technology”
The new technologies developed after the original was introduced, improvements made and the new players came into the picture. It is difficult to remember a time when computers or cell phones didn’t exist. Though they make our lives easier and more convenient, they are susceptible to complicate our lives and compel us to rely on them.
As the new technology continues to thrive, the opportunities for human contact have been diminishing. Many jobs are eliminated and replaced with the new automated computers and equipments. When the computers are down, the businesses abruptly cease and millions of dollars are lost within an hour.
Cell phones are the life-savers as an emergency arises; however, they have been held liable for an accident on the road. People become so absorb in their conversations that their abilities to concentrate on the driving become severely impaired.
The new technologies have both pros and cons in themselves. If we don’t treat them as though our lives depended on them, we will not be the victims of the new technologies.

Great!!
good job to write an effective essay in that limitation.
our mentor limits us to write in 500 words ,and I thought it was too difficult, but now when reading your post I realized that a challenge is not what we have, but it is what you did.
keep it up,

Thanks for your comment. I need to be a little bit more diligent since I often find myself not feeling motivated enough to write something.
