Many people respect and admire
technology because it is there to benefit them. Without the technological
advances we have had over the years, the world would not be what it is today.
With the advancement in technology,
human life is more comfortable like never before. There is almost no place that
you can go where technology hasn’t been used. Technology affects our daily
lives in everything that we do; it saves time (time is money-more so these
days), creates a world of endless learning and makes travelling to halfway
around the world effortless.
Technology has effected in almost every single respect one can
think of, be it communication, entertainment,studies,industrialisation,,business,education,comfort,luxury,
What people don’t understand is
that technology can actually be a bad thing.
Technology has helped increase
the speed of communication and decrease its cost. However; at the same time it
has caused people to become more impersonal with each other. In earlier times
the major form of communication was for people to visit each other and go to
public meeting places. One of the next major advances was the telephone. Due to
the telephone people no longer went to the public meeting places as often as
they used to. As time goes on, new advances still allow people to contact and
communicate with each other more easily. These advances such as facsimile,
beepers and email, although seemingly making life easier, each help to decrease
the earlier forms of communication. In some businesses email is the main way of
communication because its quick, they have record of the conversation.
Technology is building bridges
between people on opposite sides of the globe, but it is also building ever
stronger walls between neighbours.
