TECHONOLOGY

 

Young people spend 27 or more hours a week on the Internet (Anderson). As society moves on, technology will keep diffusing and changing drastically; opening more possibilities for newer and undiscovered innovations to take over. Technology can be found anywhere from phones to cars that people drive every day. As technology advances, scientists and doctors have started an altercation between those who believe new tech will teach communities and strengthen our knowledge and others who believe that inventing untested gadgets will only corrupt the nation and affect students at work. Although people view technology as an important tool of the future, technology can be more harmful to society as students become distracted, leading to health concerns, and influencing people to cyberbully. To begin, technology can be used as a productive tool, but sometimes at school, this tool can become a huge distraction.

Advancements in Technology:

From the invention of the wheel to the use of microchips in computers and mobiles, technology has come a long way. Man has reached the moon and explored outer space just because of the advancement in the aeronautics field. Even in primitive occupations such as agriculture, there have been so many technological advancements with modern tools such as traction engines and steam tractor technology which have helped us make progress.

Prominent Examples:

Although there have been countless examples where technology has changed our lives, there are some which are considered revolutions for mankind. The technology used in the field of robotics is one such fine example. Nowadays robots are being used by people and industries all over the world for various purposes. They are also used in places that are otherwise considered harmful for humans thereby protecting us. One such area is the cleaning and managing of radioactive waste.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is another field that is a classic example of the technological advancements man has achieved. Who could have imagined that a machine would be capable of thinking like us? That is what AI has been successful in doing. It is an intelligent machine capable of behaving like us. It can do activities such as problem-solving, planning, learning, and even reasoning. Today AI is used in all major areas such as warfare, security, healthcare, and communication. On top of this, it is far more efficient than us and has a lower rate of error.

Importance of Technology:

Technology has its own importance in our lives. Without technological advancements, our lives would not have been simpler and faster. The modernization that the world is witnessing today has all been possible because of the technological developments in different fields. Moreover, it has helped in reducing the risks people had to undertake in many sectors such as mining. With new tools available, the tasks are less risky and are more efficient as well.

Conclusion:

Technology can be said to be very addictive as a result of its convenience and the easy comfort sources accompanied by the entertainment that it offers. It is however important that one tries to find a balance between nature and technology and not get too much of technology.
