Candidates often think that they have to give an opinion that will satisfy the
examiner. However, the opinion you give should
be yours and the examiner
can't penalise you if it is not what s/he would think.
Of course your essay
must answer the question and
the position you take
must be
consistent throughout your essay (
e.g. saying you agree but then
having an essay where nearly all of it disagrees would not make sense).
A typical way to answer this question would
be to choose whether you
think earlier or more recent developments are more influential, than explain
why in your essay.
In other words. to choose and support one of these as your opinion (
though
of course you should still write about both):
Earlier technological developments had the most influence and
benefits
More recent technological developments had the most influence and
benefits
It's ok though to take a different approach.
Let's say you think it is not a matter of comparing old with new - rather you
think some earlier
ones are more influential, but some older ones are more
influential. So it depends which developments are being talked about.
As long as you explain this in your
thesis
statement
and your essay this is
fine, and of course as long as you are still comparing some earlier and
recent technological developments.
Organisation
So take a look at this technology development
essay and note how the
writer still fully answers the question but take a different view to that of the
opinion in the question.
This essay is organised as follows:
Opinion: Depend on the area of technology
