In
my opinion progress is generally a good thing since
it can lead to improved lifestyles or better medicines
for example. However, progress is not always good.
In some cases progress in machine technology has caused
job losses, leading to unemployment. In addition, as
industry grew over the last century it caused a huge
increase in pollution, which many people believe is
affecting our health and climate. Progress in technology
should be used more and more to help provide the answers
to these problems that progress itself has created.
There are examples of this (Ex. solar and hydroelectric
power, the low-energy light bulb etc.) I believe that
progress is good as long as it is real progress and
does not create other problems later on.(125 words)
