6. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Although science and technology will continue to improve, the most significant improvement for the quality of people’s lives have already taken place.

These days, a growing number of people opine that the quality of people’s lives will not be improved in the future, though science and technology will keep up advancing. However, from my own perspective, I believe that although it is difficult to predict exactly how they will impact our world in the future, one thing I am quite sure of is that they will continue to improve people’s lives in much more significant ways than in the past.

First of all, with the development of science and technology, it is more convenient for citizens to take the public transportation. For example, as opposed to the current relative low-efficient transportation, in the future, as the digital controlling system put into use, bus routes will be optimized dramatically, which means that redundant routes will be deleted and the number of bus routes in the commercial and residential areas will increase. More and more people will take the public transportation instead of their private cars to reach their destinations, which can eliminate traffic jams and reduce the time people spend on this.

Secondly, advanced science and technology will enable the environmental issues be settled in the future, which offers people a more comfortable and healthier environment. For one thing, oil will not be the primary fuel for automobiles and the popularity of solar-powered vehicles will take place petroleum-powered cars in the future, which means that the quantity of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, will diminish considerably. The reduction of greenhouse gases will not only make people keep away from the lethal gases emitted from cars, but also alleviate the negative effects of the inclination of the global climate warming. For another thing, other alternative fuels, such as wind, tide and nuclear will be widely used as the dominant sources for generating electricity instead of fossil fuels, which result in the more cleaner sky and rivers.

Thirdly, it is the Internet that makes it possible for white-collar workers to work at home in the future. According to the latest survey conducted by the Global Internet Association (GAI), the number of Internet users has increased 50% than 6 years ago. As the Internet plays an increasingly essential role in the people’s lives, virtually all the tasks or assignments will be completed by Internet in the future. People will not spend a lot of time on the road. So the time of work will extended considerably and people can finish more working tasks everyday, resulting in the fact that people can obtain the higher salaries. The increase of incomes will make people’s lives more colorful and interesting.

In a nutshell, science and technology are the cornerstone of the improvement of the quality of people’s lives. The more convenient public transportation, the more harmonious environment and the more efficient work will bring people the more wonderful lives!
