Have technological advances had a positive effect on the lives of people in your country?

In my point of view the answer is absolutely yes. My country is affected by many positive advantages derived from technology for instance the daily use of the internet and the computer itself as well as the television with all its multinational programs. All these information channels supply us with news from all over the world. As a consequence the people become better informed and more critical. For example, citizen can compare different prices online offered by different vendors. So their decision is based on more information because of the use of technology. But for sure, technology also bears risks,however, that is another story and should perhaps be told a different time.
