The Technology:
Technology ("science of craft", from Greek, techne, "art, skill, cunning
of hand"; and, -logia[) is the collection of techniques, skills, methods,
and processes used in the production of goods or services or in the
accomplishment of objectives, such as scientific investigation.
Technology can be the knowledge of techniques, processes, and the
like, or it can be embedded in machines to allow for operation without
detailed knowledge of their workings.

Since the end of the last century technological advances have marked
a change in the course of the history of humanity; We have seen the
advances in engineering, artificial intelligence and even in the medical
field, so we can say that the research has given the fruits that should
have been the years of perseverance and dedication.

Currently the improvements obtained in construction, medicine, space

navigation and development of recyclable material have been the main
works that has managed to materialize the use of technology, from
houses with intelligent systems, machines capable of interacting with
individuals facilitating their use In a more personal way to cars with
satellite navigation, these and many more have been the achievements
that technology has managed to provide to man.

In this 21st century, some technological advances have been presented,

both in medicine and in information technologies. They are between
them:
Prosthesis

The human body has been created strong, but at the same time it
presents some weaknesses, for example, its bones that sometimes due
to accidents can break or break which makes the regeneration process
painful and slow. Nowadays, thanks to studies carried out and the
technology developed, it has been possible to formulate and create,
through random materials, prostheses that adapt to the part of the body
that needs to be immobile, but without the annoying traditional plasters
that generate itching or burning due to the time that the skin passes
without receiving the sun's rays.

3D models

Previously in the area of design should be presented projections through

illustrations and some digital programs that allowed to perceive what
would be the final product of an idea raised, but thanks to the use of 3D
printers, we can now see in physical models or samples in scale or real
size; which makes possible the feasibility of the product before its
manufacture.

With 3D technology, you can do several functions that were previously

not possible, such as the installation of personalized prostheses, these
are made specifically for the person in question, personalized
medications, medical training and training in the field of surgery with
printed models in 3D, advances in medicine with skin and living tissues
were made with the method called bioprinting.
How does technology help us in our daily lives?

Technology helps us in our daily lives because it facilitates our lives,

improves our quality of life, helps us make things faster and better,
however, technology makes us totally useless, since we depend on it in
many ways in many aspects and more in these times, but if we look at it
from a positive point we can highlight the above.

Technology today is important because all companies and people have

the need and desire to store information and learn more every day about
the technological trends that may arise over time. I think the need for
storage and knowledge is something that we have always been doing
because before to keep information we had to have those big files with
a lot of paper and now this has been reduced thanks to technology. Also
the information that these networks or technology offers us can be a
double-edged sword: it can be positive or negative.

Hence the need to not become so dependent on technology we will have

people who all day have to be stuck to a computer to know what is
happening in the world and do not spend time on other things such as
reading books or newspapers or acquiring knowledge .

The technology is good because it shortens distance and helps us in

many things in our life as when wanting to travel somewhere we do not
need to visit the place at the moment we can know it from a computer to
make a reservation can be done via the Internet.
Advantage

- Access to information.

- Instant communication

- Improves quality of life.

- It help us to saves time and energy.

- It is easier to access education

- Better work for us

Disadvantages

- Social networks addiction.

- Its misuse can damage our health

- Isolate people

- Make people lazy

What would you do to improve our work with those technologies?
Make the Most of Your Commute

If you ride the bus or take the train home from the office, you can
add valuable extra time to your day by taking your work with you.
Intel-powered 2 in 1 devices, which marry the convenience of a
tablet with the power of laptop, lets you do just that. Use it as a
laptop at the office and then enjoy the ease of a tablet to finish
ongoing projects or read on your commute.

Take Better Notes

Whiteboards are valuable analog aspects of almost every meeting,

but technology is making them smarter—literally. Digital smart
boards that allow content sharing between stationary screens and
mobile devices at just the press of a button will allow employees to
stay engaged in a meeting without risking missing out on crucial
note-taking.

Use our Voice

The future of voice recognition technology goes beyond identifying

the speaker; it will soon be able to judge content and context. This
can be used to translate foreign languages in real time and to
detect mentions of things like meetings before automatically
adding them to your digital calendar.
