How Technology Is Affectively Changing The Way We Live

The world and its technology is changing and advancing very rapidly every day.
Technology is changing the way people lean and making people lives much easier. Due to the
rapid increase in technology people are able to get their work done in a faster more affective
way. This technology is not only helping adults but is more importantly changing the way work
is getting done. This is proving to help people learn and advance in a much faster way than ever
before. Some may argue that technology is taking over peoples lives but if this technology is
used in positive and affected way it can be what I believe the most effective way to tech
someone new things. Technology is everywhere now days not only including the work place but
also in the household, personal benefit and entertainment. I was interested in this topic
because I believe this is a rising and popular theme that many people seem to be talking about
if people can turn distractions into something useful it can become very effective and
enjoyable. Technology is changing the everyday lives of people all over world and it has a very
useful and positive affect which benefits all ages.
To begin, technology is changing the work place and how efficiently and effectively work
is getting done. In the article Technology in the Workplace it states technological advances
achieved in the past few decades have brought about a revolution in the business world,
affecting nearly all aspects of a working life. This states that technology has changed the work
place in very many ways. These new advances open many new doors and new opportunities for
a company to expand. Workers are able to become much more flexible allowing them to work
from home and reach other co-workers with a click of a button. Instead they can communicate
effectively at home, at a distant office, across the world, and in their car or on an airplane.
With this new media technology, communication has become much more effective and made
much improvement within the company. It has been proven that this has increased efficiency
and productivity in the work place.
Furthermore, with technology benefiting the workplace it can also benefit the education
of students. Students are able to find information within minutes on the internet allowing them
to explore new many topic and careers. The article How Technology has Changed Education
says that Technology can be a powerful tool for learning if used in the right way. Technology
provides students with instant research and free programs that will allow them to stay
organized while accomplishing progress. It can boldly open new doors. Technology is just a
tool. In terms of getting kids working together and motivating them said Bill Gates. Yet some
believe technology is a very un-useful distraction that keeps students from getting work done.
This may be true but with restrictions at a young age will help students realize technology is a
tool not a toy. With the proper self-discipline students will realize how useful technology will be
to complete school work throughout their education process.
Next, technology is used for self -benefits or entertainment. Technology has come so far
over the years from computers to something as simple as a refrigerator. This technology has
advanced from black & white T.Vs to 3D and voice active televisions. Technology has come a
huge way in entertainment making everything more exciting for the user or viewer. Even in
sport events such as a football game like the super bowl. Millions of people gather around to
watch this event but dont understand how much technology and time it takes to build a thirty
second commercial. Technology has advanced in so many ways just to please the people and
making them excited to buy new products. These technologies are constantly improving for
self- benefit and entertainment from T.Vs, movies, sports, video games, phones, tablets and
computers.
However, Technology has made its biggest impact on everyday life making daily chores
easier. Almost everywhere you look in the American household some type of technology exists.
From ovens to vacuums technology is inquired somehow some way. These ideas are created
through trial and error making life easier for the average person. Technologys Impact on
Everyday life states Its truly amazing how far technology has taken us. Technology is
constantly progressing, making our lives simpler in ways we could never imagined. With
technologys constant evolution, society continues to move forward at a rapid rate. The use
of technology is everywhere we look. Some have come to depend on this too much and are
unable to live life without it for example when the power goes out. Think about it, if these
powers were to disappear how would people handle it? Through research it has been proven
that people suffer with withdrawals. Its crazy to think that this could happen but some take for
granted how much technology helps us serve easy tasks throughout the day. The creator of
Microsoft Bill Gates once said We are changing the world with technology.
In addition, technology is not useful in the averages person life but also people with
disabilities and health problems. Technology saves peoples lives and without it many people
would not survive. On average hospitals spend over 36% of their money each year on new
technology items, from computers to MRI machines. This technology is being created and
tested every day to help save lives and cure illnesses. Many people dont think about how
important this technology is but perhaps this is the most important and advanced type of
technology there is. Think about how many live this has saved and where this world would be
without it. The article Medical Technology benefits People quotes Through the use of such
technologies, people can live healthier, more productive and independent lives. Some say all
this testing and technology is a waste of money but theyve never been the one laying in the
hospital bed wishing there was something a doctor could do. Technology is hospital is changing
but most importantly saving peoples lives. The article How Technology is Changing Health Care
states Digital innovations have now made it possible for consumers to use portable devices to
access their medical information, monitor their vital signs, take tests at home and carry out a
wide range of tasks. In his book "The Creative Destruction of Medicine," Eric Topol, a
cardiologist, geneticist and researcher, describes how medicine is entering an age of
democratization as power shifts from hospitals, doctors and other caregivers to patients,
potentially leading to dramatic health care improvements. This technology is changing the
way people live and its a great thing. Technology is increasing in all aspect of life but its most
important in the medical field because whats more important than saving lives? This is an
essential to everyday life and no one would argue with that.
In conclusion, Technology is a must in todays world. With the rapid increase in
technology it has proven itself time and time again making having a positive impact on peoples
lives. Technology will just keep advancing and becoming larger because everything can always
become better. Some believe technology is horrible or taking peoples lives and money away
but in reality this is only creating jobs and making their lives easier. People dont realize how
useful technology has been until they try to live without it. Imagine a power outage but for life,
thats what life would be without technology. There are millions of ways technology benefits
lives and this is only a few examples. People better get used to it but should also realize life
without just in case something were to happen. With this rapid advance with technology
people will need to adapt and learn how to use it. With the right learning method people will be
able to make and created new opportunities for themselves. All in all technology has come a
huge way is isnt going to decrease so people must realize how important and how helpful it is
in getting day to day tasks done. People will be much more affective and will be completing
things that they could have never done without the new technology. Technology opens new
doors, with it there is no telling what people can do. Edward Teller The science today is the
technology of tomorrow.
