Technology’s Impact, Lord of the Rings & Restaurant Complaint
Technology: Advantages and Disadvantages
The development of technology and communications during the last decade of the 20th century has had a significant influence on our lives. It has revolutionized the way we work, learn, and communicate. But what has changed our lives the most is definitely the internet. However, there are both advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages of Computing
The main advantage of computing is probably that it gives access to information quickly and easily. It also helps us to do tasks more efficiently. What is more, technology improves the lives of those who have fewer opportunities and access to education, and it contributes to the development of poor or isolated regions in the world.
Disadvantages of Computing
On the other hand, there are disadvantages. People have to learn new skills since the world of work has changed. As a result, people who cannot use computers may not be able to get a job. Besides, we depend so much on computing that if the computer breaks down or there is no electricity, we cannot work at all.
In conclusion, I think the computer chip is probably the most useful invention of the 20th century, in spite of having to face some difficulties in adapting ourselves to new technologies.
The Fellowship of the Rings: A Personal Review
I watched this film in the theater seven times! I hadn’t read The Lord of the Rings, but I did right afterwards. This film struck me to the core and made me discover, with firm conviction, that fantasy is my element–it’s the way I love to filter themes and relationships the most. For some reason, being removed from the real world at that level helps me explore close-to-my-heart life struggles in a safer and somehow clearer environment. I absolutely adore Frodo. His relationship with Gandalf is simple and impactful; and with Sam, it is beautiful and pure. This is a definite good versus evil story, and I love to see how someone so small and seemingly insignificant, with his little band of friends, triumphs in the end. The Fellowship of the Rings is my favorite film of the trilogy. It has more of the amazing world of the elves with Rivendell and Lothlorien, and the way the Black Riders are depicted is more frightening than any other scare-factor in the next two installments.
Restaurant Complaint
Dear Mr. Sinosuke,
Last Monday, May 8th, my partner and I went to eat at your restaurant. Your usual schedule is from 1 pm to 4 pm.
On that day, we arrived at 3 pm and started to order food from the menu.
Your employees took a long time to bring the drinks, as well as the first cold dishes. The problem did not end here. The most serious problem was when we ordered our favorite dish, to which an employee replied that the kitchen was closed.
Therefore, with all that happened, we hope that you take steps to improve the service of the restaurant. If you extended the schedule until 4:30 pm, you would have many more customers and your restaurant would have better service.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Jordi Bolufer.
