Model Answer
Earlier technological developments brought more benefits and changed
the lives of ordinary people more than recent developments ever will.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Developments in technology over many years have dramatically changed
the world that we live in, and some people think that earlier advances in
technology have had a greater impact on and been more beneficial to the
lives of ordinary people than more recent changes. However, I partially
agree with this as the advantages and influences on people’s lives actually
depends on the particular area of technology.
There is no doubt that some earlier advances in technology have been very
influential, such as those related to technology around the home. Devices
such as washing machines, fridges and freezers, central heating,
microwaves and televisions were invented many years ago, and now nearly
every household has all or some of these in their home, making life much
easier. Though they have been improved over time, they still carry out
much the same purpose as when they were first invented. 
Another example is that of medicine. Despite the fact that there have been
ground-breaking recent medical developments, such as that connected to
research into genes and stem cells, the benefits to the average person are
still many years away. The most influential impacts on health have been
earlier technological developments of the past, which remain today. These
are the ability to treat so many injuries and diseases and carry out organ
transplants in hospitals. It is these that have benefits on so many lives and
will for decades to come. 
However, if we look at some more recent developments, they have had a
much greater influence than in the past. For instance, there is the phone,
which was a significant development when invented helping many people.
However, although invented many years ago, technological developments
over the last few decades have enabled the phone to now be mobile and
connected to the internet. This has had incredible impacts on the way

people Iive their lives with people using phones for so many everyday
activities and for connecting around the world.
In conclusion, I would argue that although some older technological
developments are important, some new ones are too. The impacts on
ordinary people’s lives therefore depends on the type of technology in
question.
