// FOLLOW UP ACTIVITY //

WRITE AN ESSAY ON THE FOLLOWING TOPIC " **TECHNOLOGY DOES MORE GOOD THAN HARM; TO WHAT EXTENT DO YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH THIS STATEMENT**."

Since industrial revolution, many western scientists found new discovery about physics and chemical principles. This leads to development in technology in the world until today. I agree with the statement that "technology does more good than harm". Technology provides many advantages such as help us to keep connected with our friends and makes our daily activities easier.

Our lives today are busier because we need to meet a lot of people for our business. Technology such as cell phone is really helpful for us to keep connected with the others. Without technology we have to meet other people face to face for a certain business but with help from technology we do not need to do that anymore. We only have to click 'call button' on our cell phone then we can talk with anyone we want. We only need to meet face to face for important things. Other than cell phone, we also can use internet to connect with the others.The most popular way is using social networks such as facebook, twitter, friendster, and my space.

Besides this, technology also will make our daily activities become easier. For an example, before computer was created, officer use typewriter to write the letters. If there are typing error, the officer need to type again the letter. So the officer needs to be very careful. But today with the application microsoft word the officer can recheck the letter if there are any mistake before print the letter. So, it will help the officer to spend less of their time on writing the letter. The other example is transport. Before we have aeroplanes, we have to take more than one day to arrive at another country. Now, we can fly for really far distance in one day only. That is how technology help our lives become easier.

If we know how to take the benefits from the technology, I am sure that all people will agree that technology provides more advantages than disadvantages. But we must beware in using the technology to avoid damaging the nature.

Then the number drop dramatically to 200 users at 10 a.m.. They have been slightly increase from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.. In the afternoon, the number of London underground station users decrease drastically from 300 users at 2 p.m. to less than 100 users at 4 p.m.. After that, the graph trend rise sharply to the highest number of users that are 400 people at 6 p.m.. After 7 p.m. the number of passengers decrease significantly and only have slight increase again at 9 p.m. and decrease again in 10 p.m. to 100 users. In conclusion, the busiest time at the London underground station are in early morning and early evening period.
