Everything around us changes as time goes on.

We have become a generation that is almost

totally reliant on technology, and things were done substantially differently decades ago than
they are now. New technologies are being developed from time to time to make life simpler for
the majority of people, in areas such as communication, transportation, and even
entertainment. But, as much as some may argue that our reliance on technology is a hindrance,
we can't dispute that it has made life a lot easier!

What role has technology had in facilitating communication? Communication has become
astonishingly rapid and convenient thanks to technological advancements. Looking back, it's
amazing to see how much easier communication has become over time. One of the most
important instances of how rapidly technology has changed is communication tools which
include e-mail, telephones, and the internet.

According to my lolo and lola, the best option to connect with someone remotely in their youth
was to write a letter, send faxes, or locate a wired telephone. People could only send letters
through the mail, which we now refer to as "snail mail," to transmit messages to loved ones
who lived far away from home back then. While the idea of snail mail is romantic, it's called
snail mail for a reason: it's slow and, ultimately, inconvenient.

Today, we have a plethora of more effective ways to engage with someone in society. We may
message them on social media, text them, video chat with them, email them, or call them
which they can read and respond to immediately.

To summarize, technological innovation has altered our daily chores in some way, and these
changes are quickly becoming the norm. In terms of personal connections, business operations,
and education, technology makes our lives easier and connects us more with one another.
Technological advancements have benefited civilization and influenced cultural systems by
shaping and reflecting the system's ideals. As it advances, so will our standard of living.
