Intro

The technology we have today has been enhanced from the past. Some past technology we used to use is a phone, television, laptop, and more. The way we used to live is very different from how we live today. Our lives would be difficult if we didn’t have the everyday technology to do things. Some improvements have been in robots and artificial intelligence, cars, and Maglev.   

Paragraph 1

The advancements of technology have changed over the years. For instance, a “Maglev” is a futuristic way of transportation. It uses magnetic fields to move around a magnet built track. The Maglev is futuristic because it can travel up to 42 km per hour. This makes transportation much easier for people. The person behind the making of this train is Eric Laithwaite. The past trains were ones that ran on coal trains then bullet trains and now maglev. Maglev is also great for the environment because it has zero carbon emissions since they run on electricity. Our lives would be easier because it can take people to places faster, cheaper and also can take tens of thousands of people a day. With the changes in the technologies, we had in the past and now, it’ll make our daily lives different from the way it is now.

Paragraph 2

Another great example of a technology that has changed throughout our lives is driving but more specifically self-driving cars. A self-driving car is a vehicle that doesn’t need anyone to drive in it. With all the newest technology that is built in the car, the inventor has made it safer for everyone and avoided making more accidents on the road.  Although it hasn’t been guaranteed that it’s safe enough to go on the roads the development rate is very high on using in the near future. The future of transportation will completely change and be different. In the future people wouldn’t have to worry about getting in a car crash, getting hit by a car, speeding, etc. The influence of self-driving cars will change our future and continue to make it better. 

Conclusion 

In conclusion, I think that technologies make lives much easier for people. Our advancing technology now will surely have an impact on our future. These advancements make life much easier as the Maglev can be more efficient with cars and other transportations. This is also helpful because it doesn’t harm the environment like other technologies.  Although technology has helped us and will continue to, we don’t know for sure if it will impact our lives like our jobs, health, etc.
