[IELTS SPEAKING] Describe An invention that has changed people's life

[2 mins]​

It is pretty difficult to pick out one particular invention among millions of advances in technology that have had a profound impact on human life. Personally, I believe the computer is one of the most vital and impactful inventions of mankind.



Although there is a lot of debates about who was responsible for the invention, computers have certainly become an irresponsible part of our everyday life. Just think of the time where nothing like a computer existed, people relied on conventional skills to carry out their tasks and it took forever to complete one. However, ever since the introduction of computer, human life has undergone radical changes. Almost every single task, from writing a letter to operating an entire production process, can now be easily completed using computers. And computers can offer users help with not only their work and study but their entertainment activities as well. For example, a day with bad weather and you just don't want to go out, you can stay home and read novels, comics, watch movies, listen to music or play games - all on your personal computer.

Another important impact of computers is in the workplace, where many of the old ways of working have been made obsolete. Almost all factories and businesses are computerized, and it is an inevitable consequence that most employees should be computer-literate in order to successfully fulfill their tasks or to move up in their career ladders. You can look at the descriptions of jobs for white-collar workers and most of the time you will see requirement to work with computers. For all the profound influences it has brought about to human life, I believe it is not exaggerating at all to say that the computer - a technological breakthrough - has changed our lives for the better.
