Is progress always good?

Making progress is good, but not always.Think about the technological development which, people believe, makes people’s lives easier and more comfortable. When a computer was invented with a file storage and electronic mailing feature, many people predicted that the use of paper would be significantly reduced. However, the reality is that we are using much more papers these days than before. When a cellular phone was rolled out in the market, we expected to have a better life through easy and fast communication with others regardless of where you are. Although our lives became much convenient and easier than in the past, we can hardly enjoy our free time from work. Even after work or when we take a vacation, we are still required to be connected to company’s email account or to be contacted via your cell phone. So we virtually work for 24/7. We benefit a lot from progress, but we also give in many things in return for that. Sometimes, we miss the time when there was no cell phones.
