I'm agree with Karl, because I thing that modern technologies can help us to make many sides of our lifes easier.
We can talk with everyone and eveywhere, sometimes it's just for little things but sometimes It can help us to solves some troubles.
Another example can be internet, we can buy by net easely and many times it's cheaper than common shopping. Sometimes I've send a photographic album to a print by net and I've got it on home in few days and cheapier than If I go to a common print.
