TECHNOLOGY FOR OUR LIVES
Technology
is the usage and knowledge of tools, techniques, crafts, systems or methods of organization. Technology nowadays constantly
seems to seep its way into our daily routines. Everything we do is somehow
connected with technology, whether it for working or studying and helping our
life. Without technology, life would be more difficult than it already is,
knowledge would be limited and more difficult to achieve. The task of
technology is to create a better and easier living for ourselves and for the
world.
Now I will take some example of technology today,
such as Personal digital
assistant (PDA) that lightweight, a hand-held computer designed for use as a
personal organizer with communications capabilities; also called a handheld, Electric Cars
With Plug In Technology, Laser (Light
Amplification Stimulated Emission Of Radiation) Is a Mechanism of emitting of
light within Electromagnetic Wave radiation based process of stimulated
emission, hand phone, mp3 players and so on.
Looking
back in time, we realize how much our lives have changed due to the fruits of
technology. It has provided us with freedom and less consumption of time and
resources. A nation's economic growth can be measured according to the level of
technology. This is because a number of factors are responsible for affecting an
individual's life style. The most important factor for deciding the working of
a particular technology is the presence of competition. Technology has affected
society and its surroundings in a number of ways. In many societies, technology
has helped develop more advanced economies (including today's global economy)
and has allowed the rise of a leisure class.
With the
advent of technology, people are building bridges to decrease the distances in
their mind. One basic drawback that has taken place is that people are becoming
lethargic due to high trends in technology. It is shortening our ability to pay
attention. Robotics, automation and computerization are on the go for changing
our lives. Implementation of robotics will give higher efficiency and cheaper
labor, thereby increasing unemployment rate.
Technology is
so integrated with our lives today. Various influences, both positive and
negative, of technology already we feel together.
POSITIVE:
The
positive effect is that it accelerates what one person can do. With tech you
can make one person do much job in same time and do things quickly and better.
With tech, you can protect yourself by encrypting all your transmissions,
however it makes it that much easier for someone to protect truly harmful
transmissions like child porn or criminal activity. Overall, and in a modern
sense, tech decentralizes the power and control over the media and distributes
it to regular people creating a more democratic society. In the same way, it
destabilizes society by challenging the authority of institutions within that
society who need to centralize power to maintain that control that does provide
stability. However, the emergence of tech will show that old institutions are
no longer needed or have to modify.
NEGATIVE
The
reality is that today’s society is so dependent on technology. for example
almost every family has a television, there are even families who have more
than one television. In addition, almost everyone has a mobile phone that can
be used to access the internet and open facebook or twitter. as a result,
people spent much time in front of the television and browse the internet for updating status on
facebook and twitter, or play games on line through mobile phone, laptop.
Without parent’s guide the children can be access the porn sites or bad ones
that very unsuitable for them because they can not filter whether is true and
false exactly.
In
our opinion, now the community is very spoiled with technology and highly dependent
on technology. For example to calculate ( sum, subtraction, division) we rarely
use our brainpower, but rather use the calculator to solve them.
In
other hand technology sometimes makes bigger unemployment because the job that
was taken by 100 people now can do by a machine just a click. Unemployment is a
serious problem for government because sometimes increase the criminal because
they can’t have enough money for fill up the life budget.
Now
the other side of technology is not so green. It is because of improvised
technology only that we have seen nuclear and atomic wars. Many technological
processes produce unwanted by-products, known as pollution, and deplete natural
resources, to the detriment of the Earth and its environment.
Hence, one
must know how to balance between manpower and automation. In the world of
automation, cars have created freedom as well as concrete jungle. Technology is
affecting our near future so it becomes our responsibility to streamline it in
the right direction.
