When Technology and Humanity Cross

Through the centuries, with the development of science, we humans discovered technology
to transform our way of life as its best. In human society, each radical shift has been driven primarily by one
key enabling shift factor – from wood, stone, bronze and iron to steam, electricity, factory automation and
the Internet (Gerd Leonhard, 2016). Today, in our modern world technology has become significant in our
lives and continues to develop for the betterment of our society.
Technology has given us quick access to everything. Technology created amazing tools and
resources, putting useful information at our fingertips. Modern technology has paved the way for multi-
functional devices like the smart watch and the smartphone. Computers are increasingly faster, more
portable, and higher-powered than ever before. With all of these revolutions, technology has also made
our lives easier, faster, better, and more fun.
Before the discovery of mobile technology, we had to search meanings of the word through
a dictionary or spend hours in the library for research paperwork. Today, that phenomenon is still preserved
but used very less. Now you can find every meaning upon a dictionary app just by downloaded, search the

m
er as
internet with a single click on Google; you will get numerous samples of the research paper and all of your
outstanding works. In the past, letters were the medium of communication. But now with the innovation of

co
eH w
mobile technology, we can send wishes, texts or make calls anytime. Technology has totally transformed

o.
the way of watching television. There was a time when we have to sit in front of the TV all day-night to
rs e
catch the latest news. But, today you can pause live TV, rewind it if you missed something and also record
ou urc
TV shows. For some goodness sake, technology has also made it possible for us to search the person’s
profile on the Internet, just to gain particular information about the person. Also, they are such applications
o

which are entirely designed to boost kid’s brain. Nonetheless, they are few applications which allow us to
aC s

play betting games for fun, with creating a group between friends. Technology has given us opportunity to
v i y re

find job online fast and easy without hassle. Medical advances have enabled doctors to discover most
health problems while still in the developing stage.
Apart from benefits, let us see “how has technology affected our lives”. All the data, whether
ed d

good or bad, is now made easily accessible with the latest technology. Kids and students are getting
ar stu

exposed to wrong data which is just a click away. Since technology has made learning cheap and acquiring
data easy, all the wrong data is falling into the hands of impressionable kids, who do not have control over
handling it. The risk of leaking of financial information is great as hackers are just a click away from entering
sh is

our confidential data. Though the technology has improved a lot, there are more than 90% of people who
Th

are naïve to its usage. This makes them vulnerable to hacking as there are loopholes in every new
invention. Apart from air and water pollution, e-waste has become the next big pollution to tackle. The
exposure of technology on human life has brought new health problems and disorders. If you are looking at
the impact of technology on human life, you can now safely say that technology has dominated human life
and became part of every task. How technology changed our lives in few years is quite astonishing. The
smartphone revolution weakened actual human relationships and replaced it with fake courtesies. Artificial
intelligence is now replacing human jobs and few industries like transportation, manufacturing, finance,
shipping, customer service, and healthcare are in danger. Drones and robots are now gathering information
from satellites and are capable of doing farming too. It is wise to say that technology improved our lives
and technology affected our lives in some manner. There needs to be some balance in managing the
technology, and we have to try not be overshadowed by the impact of technology.

 It is undeniable the importance of technology in our daily lives. This is due to the fact This is
due to the fact that in today’s dynamic world, life without technology is meaningless. Technology, which
basically refers to bringing together tools that ease creation, use and exchange of information, has a major
goal of making tasks easier to execute as well as solving many mankind’s problems. As technology
continues to advance and direct even more easiness in our lives, there is a need to stress how
advantageous it has been to our lives.
