Computers: Are they really human?
In the beginning of the human race, technology was nonexistent, or even thought of, but ever since the start they have always tried to find things to make their live simpler. Today, people live are simpler than they were in history due to the advancements of technology that have made life a little too easy. The computer for instance is everywhere today, from a smartphone to a desktop computer. Advancements with the technology of the computer have helped scientist take the most complex equation to solve in less than a few seconds. Computers can take on tasks that require a lot of info to tasks that would take less than a second. Even today computers

An input device is any hardware device that sends data to a computer, allowing you to interact with and control the computer (“Input Devices”,N/A, 2015). Input devices vary from accessories like the keyboard, mouse, or an audio conversion device, along with many others. All three play a separate part that gives the computer a better understanding of what is going on and what should be happening. Input devices such as audio conversion devices make enjoying things that people would like to have, such as a burned CD disk with their favorite music, or maybe you want to download music from the computer to their MP3 player using a USB cord. The software included with the device records the audio playback from the audio media and converts it to MP3 format. Some devices allow for recording to other audio formats besides MP3(“Input Devices”, N/A, 2015). Computers have made so many advancements over the years that they are close enough to replicate the human senses. The input device that needs improving is touchpad on laptops. It can recognize the tough of your finger in an instant or it doesn’t even notice you’re trying to get to somewhere else. One of the input devices that have come a long way is the invention of the touch screen on tablets and some laptops today. The touchscreen on these devices can automatically and simutaneously read every movement that you do on it. It reads your touch as a command and sometimes reads it as the owner of the tablet. For example,
Have you ever noticed how much technology has changed from time ? I think that the changes of technology affect are living because of the way wecommunicate with people , how simple it is to finish tasks , by how creative we can be , and how effortless it is to travel with you . Life is impacted by technology and is changed to fit us .
Look around you. Probably only a few centimeters away is your beloved phone, computer, and tablet. Look around this classroom, projectors, heaters, speakers, laptops, phones and many more.
There is no doubt that this is the age of technology that started the day where the computer discovered. This technology grows rapidly and has reached each aspect of human’s life with different forms and images, negatively or positively., it became one of the largest scientific achievement of the 20th century. This technology is the computer. But does this mean the life would have stopped if the computer had not been discovered? In other words, how life changed because of this discovery that started in 1946 when the Eniak computer {1} was the first general purpose electronic computer. I am often tempted to recall the form of the past before the tremendous technological revolution that has taken place in the world, especially in the means of communication, exploration of space and sea, and I wonder if our lives have really become better than before, is it thanks to modern technology that we live a quieter, calmer and peaceful from within us?
Year by year, day by day, and minute by minute, machines are expanding. They have grown so much that this day in age, everyone is technology-dependent. The simplest tasks have become broken in our minds and we almost always use technology as our crutch. Both scientists and the average person have played a part in making technology what it is today. Whether it's an astronaut using a robot arm in outer space or your neighbor, using their GPS to find their way to work, nearly everyone on Earth uses some form of computer operator daily. There is no telling how much technology has grown in the past century, and the possibilities for its expansion in the next century are indefinite. An extensive number of worrisome people ponder if the human
Throughout the course of human history, technological advances have gone hand-in-hand with societal advances. Rather than just contributing to the development of society, one can confidently conclude that technology is the cause for the growth of society. From the stone tools of humanity’s early ancestors to the mechanization of industry and the development of modern tools, like the internet, technology has been the driving force for societal change.
Throughout the known history of the world, humans and technology have progressed side by side. Many believe technology prolongs human challenges and development in the twenty-first century because of the way it distracts people from daily life activities. Though it has been questioned of value, the inclusion of new technology challenges what humans can do through innovative ideas like the computer and cell phones and other devices such as 3D printers.One way new technology has challenged human capability was the invention of computers. Before the computer became available, many people had to use other applications for directions, remembering things, typewriters for typing, and even the land line telephones. Computers were groundbreaking technology
In the past century technology has come a very long way. In the past decade people have had the ability to search anything they want at the leisure of their homes. Now people have their own supercomputers in their pockets. Technology, although, has caused a lack of human contact in society leading to no new advancements, thus negatively effecting lives. Technology has limited social interaction.
As humans evolved over thousands of years, we continue to develop tools and technologies that help us thrive. Without the ability to try new ideas that can and do lead to new technologies, our existence would have dwindled long ago. The minute new technologies are discovered and incorporated into the lives of the general public, people are already

For decades, technology itself was at a stagnant period with inventions and machinery that came at a slow pace. Life progressed naturally and it was not until the ninety’s that technology boomed, which stimulated our society by speeding up to a better society and an improvement to life itself. Popular technology evolved, such as the internet, phones, and other devices as well. While a large population believe life was better due to technology being more simple than it is now, the truth of the argument between life being better when technology was simpler or when technology has evolved today lies on the side of today. It has given us a convenient way of living as well as making our environment and surroundings superb, and giving us remarkable devices and inventions that have exceeded our standards.
Computer science essentially creates the future for the next generation through technological advancements and software applications that can mold the nature of multiple interactions ranging from personal calls to professional meetings to individual entertainments. The insight that comes through the humanities is vital in understanding the cultural implications that come with a sense of place and individuality. Because of the close connection software applications have with daily lives of consumers, the influences individuals face impact the way they receive software products. While analyzing the theme of community through Inside Mecca in correspondence with evaluating the danger of having a single story through Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s testimony, the importance of the field of humanities to computer scientists and software developers can be better understood.
Every day we use some form of technology. From the sound of the alarm on our cellphones waking us up to the ping of notifications, tweets, and news that interest us; we eat and breathe technology. In a world full of apps for everything and computers connecting us worldwide, we are living the good life. Ask yourself, when was the last time you were able to go an hour without your cell phone? your tablet? technology? Can you count change without waiting for the register to tell you the amount due? Why do we believe everything we research on the computers is valid? We no longer wear watches or learn how to tell time, watch weather on TV, or even calculate the miles for a road trip. The progression of technology has improved the quality of our life and how we live. Many people believed this progress is worth it. However, all progress has a cost? Do you ever think what that cost might be? We are so dependent on technology that without it would we be able to live? Is it dangerous? What would happen if it all went away?
Since the beginning of time, the human population has strived to live simpler lives. We have spent generations, creating innovations within technology to ensure our lives would always be more simplistic than those who lived centuries before us. People now have the ability to update their Facebook status’, map the human genome to target strands of DNA that can be disastrous to one’s health, send out amber alerts nationwide, and create plants that are resistant to pesticides. Many fields, such as medicine, law enforcement, and entertainment have benefited greatly from advancements in technology which has inevitably changed the way society operates. However, with the abundance of technology available, society has developed an unhealthy relationship where we now rely on technology too heavily. Technology has rendered our minds incapable of the ability to play, communicate, and live our lives in the moment, despite its positive additions to our society.
Everyone knows that this is the age of computer and majority of people are using computer. Development of science and technology has direct effect on our daily life as well as in our social life. Computer technology has made communication possible from one part of the world to the other in seconds. They can see the transactions in one part of the world while staying in the other part. Computer development is one of the greatest scientific achievements of the 20 the century. Computers are particularly good at performing repetitive tasks at speeds far faster than any human or team of humans can. Small computers like home and personal computers can also perform menial tasks much faster than human beings.
Living in today’s age it’s easy to forget that “technology” didn’t always mean mobile phones, televisions, laptops, internet etc. For thousand years, it was the means by which people secured food and shelter. Along with the language, religion and social culture technology is a part of our life. The history of technology begins with the Stone Age together with need of expanding exploring agriculture, industrialisation, transportation, medicine, warfare and computers. We can write for hours about technologies but let’s have a look closer on one of the topics. Computers have become a big part of our everyday live. The definition of computer was first used in 1613 and it was describing a human who performed calculations of
