Mankind is the smartest animal in this world, as they have thoughts. They invent lots of products to solve problems in their lives. Inventions include cars, airplanes, computers, mobile phones etc. Originally, the audience should applaud all these inventions. However, there is no findin' a perfect thing in this world. It is reported people sittin' in front of a computer too long easily suffer from cancer or cataract than others don't.

These days, we cannot live without a computer. We have to collect information, connect our friends, buy stuff on the Net, or do assignments usin' a computer. We're all concerned with our health but we also cannot dispose of these questionable creations. So we really get stuck in the dilemma now.

Today I saw two pieces of news. They are quite different. One is about "Mobiles used in high-tech terror". The other is about "New technology could detect dirty hands". Mobiles are one of the basic necessities now. It is so convenient that we can easily be traced by our ma. Nevertheless, some people use it to commit crime. These terrorists can set off explosives with ease using it. Maybe it is a sarcastic invention that the inventor never think about. I speculate had the inventor known it, he would have sabotaged it.

In fact, we cannot contribute these faults to the inventor. Mobiles can be useful if we use it properly or if people usin' it are its "Mr. right". Anythin' shouln't be blamed but mankind.
