become one of the most important things in the life of people, it is used for different things
and by people of different ages. ‘Science now makes all things possible . . . But it does

thing in our lives differently. The impact of technology on people depends on the way that
they use it. The rate of the effect of this technology in people life beings relies upon the
way that they use it and the time that they lose in using it. However, technology has relied
upon everything we do, so living without technology is a problem. In the last few years,
