autonomous force that changes society and it is also the key force to our society. This provides
explanations for many changes that can be observed in society, and it has a very simple
cause/effect form. However, this theory is false, if you think you have an instance, it means
you are looking at just one part of a much more complex situation, and ignoring the complex
social network that supports the technology.

its economic, social, cultural and political reasons. These technologies did give room for
employment as more people gets employed to manage these technologies, the more income
and more revenue for govemment and ultimately growth in economy, thereby causing political
