Modernization of Family Life

With the rapid development of society, family life is becoming modernized. Years ago, people considered owning radios, sewing machines, watches and bicycles as being modernized. But in recent years, almost all families have TV sets, refrigerators and washing machines. It is very common to see people ride motorcycles or even drive private cars. and more and more families have telephones, computers and air-conditioners.
The modernization of family life brings us convenience and comfort. One may enjoy TV or radio programs, communicate with his friends through telephone or work with his computer while his washing machine, refrigerator and air-conditioner are running. And by car or motorcycles one can quickly reach wherever he wants to go.
In spite of this, these modern facilities also bring us some disadvantages. For example, radiation from TV or computers is harmful to our health, especially to a pregnant woman; improper driving of cars or motorcycles may cause traffic accidents. The quietness of a family is often disturbed by a wrong dialing or an unwelcome phone call. But it is believed that these disadvantages will be disposed of with the improvement of modernization and our life will become healthier and more comfortable.
From the above discussion we can see that the modernization of family life has both advantages and disadvantages. So in my opinion, we should hold reasonable attitudes towards it.
