There is a widespread concern over the issue whether we should fight new technology. But it is well known that the opinions concerning this hot topic vary from person to person.
A majority of people approve of the opinion that we should cease accepting new technology. From their point of view, there are two factors contributing to this attitude, which are as follows: in the first place, there are many people who live happily in the absence of new technology. Furthermore, some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. However, others are strongly against it. They claim that new technology has provided people with many benefits over the years.
As far as I am concerned, I firmly support the latter view. Though new technology can be scary, we should look on the positive side and accept it.

书面表达：
假如你是李华,学校论坛英文版想邀请你写一篇介绍微信(WeChat)利弊的文章,刊登在论坛上。要点如下:1.微信的益处; 2.微信的弊端; 3.你的看法。注意:1.词数80左右;

Nowadays, more and more people are beginning to use Wechat and some have even become addicted to it. However, WeChat has both advantages and disadvantages.
WeChat really shortens the distance between people. No matter where we are, we can easily get in touch with our friends. Besides, we can find friends to whom we can tell our secrets. However, it also has disadvantages. First of all, some information offered on WeChat is false and it may result in people being cheated. What comes next is that some people spend too much time on WeChat, greatly influencing their normal life.
As far as I am concerned, WeChat is convenient but we should make proper use of it.
