Modern Technology in Our Lives / Современные технологии в нашей жизни
My name is Julia, and I am thirty years old. I have noticed that modern technology has become a very important part of my daily life. Every morning, I use my smartphone as an alarm clock. Then I check my email and read the news online. At work, I spend many hours in front of a computer. I communicate with colleagues by email and take part in online meetings. Sometimes, when I have free time, I use my tablet to read books or watch movies. Of course, technology has also changed the way I keep in touch with my friends and family. We chat in messengers and make video calls, even if we are in different cities or countries. I also use social networks to share photos and stories about my life. There are many advantages to technology in everyday life. It saves time, helps us learn new things, and makes communication easier. However, I sometimes feel tired because of so much screen time. In the evening, I try to spend less time with gadgets and walk in the park, read a paper book, or just relax. I think it is important to find a balance between technology and real life. I believe that technology can make our lives better if we use it wisely. In the future, I want to explore new apps and digital tools, but I will also remember to enjoy simple things like meeting friends in person.
