Technology brings problems as well as benefits to humankind Since Henry Ford began mass-producing them in
1908,automobiles have provided us with a cheap and convenient means of
transportation. However they also brought us traffic jams and air pollution.A technological development that is changing our lives as much as automobiles is the personal
computer.Since the 19808,personal computers have become common in homes,schools, and businesses and -".just as automobiles have brought unexpected problems,so have personal computers.
To begin with,communication by computer has caused some
problems.Although we can easily send a message to hundreds of people in an instant,we can also receive hundreds of message both wanted and unwanted in just a few minutes.It took several hours to read all of them.The lack of censorship in cyberspace is another problem that no one has solved yet.Our expanded ability to communicate means that anyone with acomputer can communicate anything to anyone on any subject at a time.Therefore,a computer-literate child can receive pornographic photos and listen to chat-room conversations about sex.
In addition to problems in
communication,computers have also caused problems m business.They have created excellent opportunities‘ for computerized crime. Computer criminals use their skill to obtain secret business information and to steal money. Moreover,the use of computers has depersonalized business. People are no longer costumers they are account numbers.
Face to face business transaction are no longer necessary, you need by
computer,phone,orfax. Also as
telecommunicating be comes more common-workers in the same company interact with each other less and less. Some day it may be possible to have a company of people who have net-face. It is clear that personal
omputers have made our lives easier but they have done so at acosts with every new invention, there have unforeseen consequences. It is up to us to find the
solution to the problem as well as to enjoy the conveniences of the new tool.

Heart diseases Western society's numbers-one killer.It accounts for one-third of all deaths among middle-aged men.Heart disease was relatively rare in America at the turn of the century,but it has risen dramatically since then,with a slight downturn in1960.
Heart disease is often viewed as a disease of modern living,spurred on by the habits and the stress of
industrialized dsociety. Evidence for the is idea comes from the fact that
non-Western societies have relatively low rate of heart disease. And there is a higher rate of heart disease among immigrants to America, suc has Japanese Americans and Chinese Americans, than among those who remain in their native country,
suggestion that something about the Western environment promotes the development of the disease.
Heart disease usually involves the formation of a fatty substance called plague in the walls of the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart. If the arteries become narrowed enough or blocked, the person may suffer heart attack, that is death of a region of heart muscle tissue.
Among the many factors that have been found to berelated to the risk ofd eveloping heart disease are high blood pressure,a history of heart disease among one'sclose relatives, cigarette smoking, being relatively over
weight,and a high level of a fatty substance called cholesterol in the blood.
In addition to all of these
well-established risk factors,it is now clear that stress can have a major impact on the development of heart disease. People who continually under go agreat deal of stress-and who lack the ability to control it-are at a significantly greaterriskfor disease than people who under go less stress or who can manage stress successfully. Jobs that impose high psychological demands but that provide the worker with the little control-such as a cook, waiter, and hospital orderly seem to breedh eart disease.
