Technology

In 2024, modern technology is so developed that you do not need to go out from your home to meet your new or old friends, visit different countries, and get some special experience at all. In spite of many peoples' claim that they would like to experience things directly than watch it through a screen, a person is absolutely able and free to ride the highest roller-coaster in the world, to swim under the water with sharks, and travel around the world and can do it not getting up from the couch in one day.

Some people are afraid and scared of riding a roller-coaster but dream to try and feel this feeling. Others live far away from the sea or ocean and can only dream about seeing the underwater life. The rest of them do not have enough time and money to travel and do some sightseeing that they are interested in. All of them can dream about that all their life or chose another way and try to use the modern technology, so they can help their dreams come true and they can experience all these feelings that they would like to have.

In conclusion, it is obvious that humans prefer to get in person experience and do hands-on activities; however, if we have to choose between getting an idea via the screen or do not have it at all, I would rather pick the second option.
