Model Answer 1

Technology undoubtedly has led to vast development and progress. Take for example the internet, besides connectivity it has helped us to access information about any given topic in seconds. We can access information about anything in the world on the click of a button. Even though technology has been a boon some people believe that it is more dangerous to society. I don't agree with this as with cons there are over powering pros to technology. In the following paragraph I will illustrate some pros of technology. Gone are the days when we had to search for a particular book in the library. We now have access to a wide repository of information through the internet. The internet has made our lives so much easier. The Internet is a small fragment of technological advancement. The other advantage of technology is that it has facilitated research activities that have helped in the scientific progress of several nations. All important and confidential information can now be stored on the computers with an ease to control the access permission of the same. From police officials to banking officials all have transferred most of their work on computers. Police officials can now easily trace the criminals and safely maintain their records on computers. Banking officials store the data of their customers on computers and access it when and if required. As online crime is increasing exceedingly, it has aso now become easier for authorities to detect fraudulent transactions. Terrorist or anti-national activities can easily be tracked with the use of technology. Owing to these advantages I believe modern technology is a boon for us. I do not agree that it is dangerous to society as we can rely on competent authorities to regulate it accordingly.

Model Answer 2

With the advent of technology there has always been a divide among the masses as to its dangers. Modern technology poses dangers to society is what some fraction of the people believe. However, I do not concur with it as if technology provides us with a rapid and uncontrollable access to information, it also has ways to regulate it. Undoubtedly, the internet provides access to a gamut of information. From access to tons of data to exchanging important information everything has become easier with the advent of technology and specifically the information.

If modern technology has provided us with the means to make our life easier. It also has thwarted the negative aspects by regulating the information shared or accessed. From online banking, online shopping to accessing information online, modern technology is definitely a boon for society. The shift from offline to online definitely surfaces more unethical activities like cyber crime, cyber bullying etc. Although we must remember that the competent authorities are constantly working to mitigate these activities by passing stringent laws and policies. Cyber crime cells can now easily track fraudulent activities online. Besides, using social media websites, like Facebook, twitter or instagram, the big companies advise not to share anti-national or derogatory information. Thus, we must not forget that even though with the advent of technology we have access to an information hub, we also have means to regulate it. I completely agree with the dangers that an uncontrollable access to information can provide but we do have the means to manage it accordingly. Thus, we must not be resistant when using modern technology, but ensure that it is being used in an effective manner.

Model Answer 3

Rapid development in technology inadvertently poses certain dangers. People are still resistant when using modern technology as they wouldn't want their personal information to be leaked online (i.e dark web). I concur that modern technology entails danger. An uncontrollable access and exchange of information is somewhat dangerous if not regulated properly. Hackers can easily access a company’s or government confidential data for their benefit. Hackers can subsequently steal an individual’s data like their credit card or debit card details which can further lead to fraudulent transactions. I believe that the regulatory authorities are constantly working to manage and control such activities. It is not easy for hackers to access information as it has layers of security before the hacker can breach information. Besides, big companies, the government sometimes use ethical hackers to access information. Moreover, all big companies and governments now store their data online with layers of protection. It allows them to easily access and manage the data. We are using the internet on a daily basis to access information. Students can easily prepare reports, projects etc. with the use of the internet, and need not visit the library to search for a particular book. Besides, they are able to carry on their research and carry on substantial scientific development. Scientists, researchers all are using the internet on a daily basis to aid them with their scientific development. Connectivity is another major advantage of modern technology. People all across the globe can now interconnect with their friends or families across the globe. Thus, modern technology has both advantages and disadvantages. However, the disadvantages can be mitigated by stringent policies and laws against any misuse of technology.
