6. Why do some people fear modern Technology?

Today we are living in the Age of Technology but some people do not like, trust, or want to use technology, especially computers. So we either accept these changes and move with the times, or we resist and become technophobes.

Technophobes are anxious because the environment in which they live and work is changing. Most fears are expressed by a strong physical reaction. Technophobes suffer feelings of self doubt and anxiety. They often feel insecure and obsolete. Some worry that they will lose their job because they cannot keep up with the times. In more extreme cases, technophobes convince themselves that technology will take over the world or that humans will be controlled by computers and robots.

In most cases technophobes belong to older generations who were not brought up playing with computer games and cell phones .They have never sent a text message or heard of an iPod.

1. Describe the place where you live and say whether you like it or  not.                 
I’ve lived in Khemisset city all my life and it has never lost its unique charm in my eyes. Although it is small and lacks a lot of facilities and infrastructure I prefer it to other places.

One reason I prefer it is climate. In Khémisset the weather is often mild and temperate. It is not very cold in winter and not very hot in the summer. It is a salubrious weather and protects me from allergies and some other illnesses that I may catch in coastal or big cities.

Another reason to prefer Khémisset is its size. It is a small city with less stressful traffic jam. This means also fewer fumes and less car noise. There are almost no factories either. This makes the city cleaner than the big metropolitan ones. Living in a small city, as well, allows me to know most people here and be known. However, in big cities people suffer from loneliness and solitude.
