托福写作范文：From certain aspects, technologies do makeour life easier. We get to finish the problems at hand more quickly,efficiently, and with better quality than before. But at the same time,technologies also bring more problems to us to solve. So it is really difficult to say which effect gets the upper hand. If I have to give a choice, I believe maybe technologies do make our life more complicated instead of making it simpler.

　　Of course, we can finish our jobs in a timely fashion, quicker than before with better quality. In the past, basically if you wanted to write a book, you could only use hand and it was slow. It would be trouble to me if you wanted to make some changes to it, when you had to cross here and there, add some contents between the lines and get everything messed up and in the end nobody else could read it. So in order to make yourself understood, you had to copy it nice and neat to new pieces of paper before sending them out. But right now all you have to do is to edit it on the computer. No matter how many times you have made the corrections, it would still be readable to others in the end. Suppose you are an economist and want to predict about the future performance of an economic body. It would be impossible for you to do so in the past, because even if you had all the data and equations needed, you simply could not finish such a large amount of calculations required to finish this prediction. But right now you do not have to worry about it. You can input all the data into the computer and write some equations to process all the data. If the computer is good enough, results will come in hours. In a word, if we have a job at hand, modern technologies will do a lot to help you get it finished quicker than before.

　　But remember, when you have the kind of help from modern technologies, your boss, your colleagues and people who want your assistance also have the most prominent piece of technology, the communication tools, to help them track you down and demand you to help them.In the past, if you hide at home, it would take a while for your boss to send a small boy over to your house to give orders. And it would be easy for you to hide from that boy anyway. So you got to have some rest and do something you were interested in. Life could be slow and simple. But right now you have got no where to hide. You have cell phones and internet connection, which basically kill every possibility for you to hide away from people who are looking for you for business. If that is your boss, it is even more terrible, because you can not turn him down. And gradually you will find that although you have better tools to help you finish things, you get even more things to finish in the first place.

　　Therefore, in a word, I believe that modern technologies may do exactly the opposite work in helping our life become easy and simple.
