Read the sentences. Number the advantages and the

disadvantages of modern technology from 1–7.

Advantages
You can use the internet to get information.
You can use fast trains and planes to travel a long way quickly.
Machines do work in the house like wash our clothes, wash the plates
and clean the floor.
Talking is easier because of mobile phones and the internet.
Robots in factories are a good idea because they don’t get bored or ill.
Doctors can save more lives now because they use a lot of machines.
Robots do jobs which humans can’t do because they are very difficult or
dangerous.

Disadvantages
People lose their jobs because machines are cheaper than humans and
work more quickly.
People don’t think a lot because they use computers to do Maths and
answer questions.
When we make and use machines, we make the Earth hotter.
Children use computers all the time and don’t play outside.
People feel lonely because they work with machines, not other people.
People travel a lot and get very tired.
When we throw machines away, we make a lot of rubbish.

Now compare your answers with your friends.
