How Technology Has Improved Our Lives

I think that new technology needs to be prevalent in our daily lives. Modern medicine has made so many advancements because of new technology. I do think in our daily, personal lives, that we are way too dependent, but with new technology, it can help save lives or make better structures, we need to be dependent on advancements. People have become addicted to the phones or tablets. They cannot socialize without constantly looking down at their phone. Some even use their cell phones in inappropriate places or times. Everything around a cell phone user, seems to be invisible to them. They do not seem to have time for others.

Technology is defined as machinery and equipment developed from the application of scientific knowledge. Its original use was meant solely for the service of humans, however overtime it has evolved into something much different. What was originally meant to be an assisting piece of machinery has changed almost every aspect of our culture. The way we think, communicate, lie, and even love has been impacted by the use of technology, and all of this is has made for interesting pieces of literature. In pieces such as Her and I, Robot, we see the evolution of robots and artificial intelligence into a more empathetic and humanlike creatures. This gradual change in our views of robots overtime speaks volumes to the evolution of technology. Technology in literature has become a reflection of human beings themselves, mirroring the very qualities of ourselves that make us human. By looking at the personality that technology takes on in literature, we can greater understand the aspects of ourselves that truly make us human.

Technology has had a major impact on our lives, especially in the last few years. Being able to adapt to new things has definitely been a main part of these few years. There has been new technology coming into the classrooms to help teach the students. We are now beginning to rely on the advancements in technology in order to help teach our students. Smart boards are being used in teaching; ipads are another major technology being used in classrooms to teach students. We are always developing new and improved technology in order to thrive in our environment. Even our smartphones are always being improved to help better our lives, but the question is, how far should we go? Technology in the classroom is beneficial because of it’s educational purposes, but outside of the classroom can be addictive and unhealthy to people’s everyday lives.

Over the decade technology has advanced significantly and the improvement of modern day creations had contributed to depolluting the world. With technology there 's no need to waste paper into printing out maps, modern day phones have GPS navigation, that allows us to get from one place to another with hardly any hassles. Also, these devices keep us connected to friends and family throughout the whole universe without having to waste any more trees that produce material for us to write on.Another aspect technology has improved over the decade is reducing pollution.Whereas modern day manufacturing invest into hydrogen-powered vehicles, to lessen the consumption of gasoline, and also improve the air quality that everyday people inhale.But most would disagree with these advantages and question our intellectual. Is technology improving our lives and our decreasing our lifespan? Some would say, we should lessen its use because it contributes to laziness, hurts our environment because of its heavy machine. It also consumes a lot of energy, and it shortens our lives.

Then there is the cost factor, to be able to use this software; you must first switch all medical records to a digital system. This appears to be so costly that the government offers incentive money to meaningful users of the electronic patient e-file. Then there is the issue of, what if the system goes down at a critical time in patient care? If there is no hard copy to fall back on how will that affect the outcome? Lastly, there is the possibility of a data breach this could cost thousands in legal fees (Khazan, n.d.)

The advancement of technology has dramatically impacted the way we live our day-to-day lives, both personally and professionally. Seemingly elementary tasks such as checking the weather or reading the news have been greatly influenced by the Internet. Through the evolution of applications and our attachment to social media, information technology has revolutionized the way that we stay informed and communicate. We are constantly connected to the most up-to-date information through phones, tablets, and computers. Information on the web is constantly being collected, stored and updated. It simplifies small decisions like whether we need an umbrella or sunglasses when we walk out of the house in the morning and provides companies with the

Everyday for the past nine years of my life I have slowly been letting technology brainwash me. It all started with my first cell phone in fourth grade, the phone was a gift and it was just another toy to play with. At the time cell phones did not do much and had little purpose for a fourth grader. Similarly to a drug, I used the cell phone periodically, but as time progressed and the product quality increased I started getting addicted. This is not only for cell phones but with every piece of technology like televisions, computers, tablets, and many more ingenious pieces of technology that are on the market today. The point is, no one is just living anymore, but practically digitally living where technology is now a crutch, it is addicting, and more than anything it is powerful.

People like to invent and use tools that help them work better and enjoy their times. People feel satisfied when they are able to do their activities in an easy and excited way. Computers, for example, have help people to do many things such as learning, communicating, getting work done simply and efficiently. In general, information technologies (IT) have positive impact on the way people fulfill their lives. For this reason, scientists and innovators keep creating new smart products that add values and skills to people, and make them more productive. Also, the main thing in information technologies is data. IT products rely on data a lot to function and be useful. When these products are able to collect and use quality data, the results and impact become great. Scientists and innovators want to simplify the life of humans by bringing products that can accompany people wherever they go. These products are made to help people better understand themselves and everything around them, and therefore, work and live professionally. In order to help people better understand themselves and everything around them, experts and

Technology throughout the years has consistently changed the way students, professionals, families, friends, etc. form and carry out relationships with one another. Technology originally started out as a tool to gain information or something as simple as communicating in a more efficient way. Over time technology has changed the way we go about our daily lives as well as who we are as an individual, losing our sense of self perception through the loss of daily personal interactions with individuals, as well as hiding from situations that no longer interest us (Ted Talk). Sherry Turkle, the well renown author for her book Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other, once believed back in 1996 that what we

Technology, as we know, has completely changed the way every American goes about their daily activities. Today we are able to communicate globally with anyone from any part of the world within seconds, making business and our social lives a million times easier. Look to your left and you will find your cell phone buzzing with missed calls, texts, and social notifications. Look to your right and you will see your emails filling up with the newest offers on fashion or your boss giving you this weeks new assignments. Information now travels faster than ever and new medicines or surgical procedures have saved millions of lives. But as we continue to travel down our technological path, we will see a change in the world. Our elders today constantly complain about the growth of technology and are often confused on how the rest of the world works. This is because with every new year technology seems to rise with new programs or new inventions to enhance our everyday lives in efforts to make them “simpler” and “better.” Our world is changing or upgrading at a rapid pace.

According to Pew Research Center (2015), 91 percent of Americans own cell phones.  For people under the age of 44, the number is closer to 97 percent.  64 percent of those phones are smartphones.   With these phones, we have the world at our fingertips.  We can shop on Amazon and Ebay, get live news updates, and get in touch with our “friends” from all around the globe on Facebook.  Our cell phones have replaced calculators, cameras, and alarm clocks.  If we want to track our calories, there is an app for that.  If we want to make a music setlist to listen to while we are burning those calories, there is an app for that too.  Do you want to know who that actor is in the western movie you saw on TV?  Google it, or you can ask Siri.

Could you imagine life without your cell phone? I know I couldn’t. My daily routine is controlled by my cell phone; from the alarm clock on my phone that wakes me up to the last Instagram post I check before I close my eyes. I couldn’t fathom the thought of not having my phone (not a phone but, my phone!) with me every second of the day. My life would probably shatter in to pieces. Without a phone I don’t think my family, friends, or I would be able to function everyday properly.

When we use the computer we don’t typically think about how it has evolved into what we have today. The computer has come a long way and it is hard to think about how life existed before computers. Before computers, humans had to do many things by themselves. Many complicated and advanced mathematical calculations were done by hand and took months if not years. Technology has luckily advanced which has given way for humans to be used in more productive ways and in ways that have made our society better. With this research paper I hope the reader will better understand the history of the computer and have a greater appreciation for humanity’s evolvement with the computer and how much of a blessing the current computer is to our daily lives.

Growing up in a low income family was miserable. The small two story six-hundred square foot house was home to four families which consisted of father, mother, son or daughter. There were no English speakers in the house except for my sister and I. Cartoon Network was the most popular network and I was finally able to watch it for the first time. Some words were still not being processed in my brain but I started understanding how they were used. When I was able to use a computer it was like opening my mind to how modern technology impacts our lives. That’s when my fascination for technology grew. I wanted to believed there was more that we could do with technology. Zoids, Gundam, and Pacific Rim showed me how much dedication people put into these great creations and I believed in myself to hopefully one day make these creations from dream to reality. I watched how these robots helped people they were seen as modern marvels and the pilots of these suits are seen as heroes.

Technology affects our lives in a major way. It is hard to go anywhere and not see the changes technology has bought to people now in year 2015. It is hard to even imagine life without technology. It is hard to imagine life without technology because whether it has been in its simplest form technological advances have been being introduced to humanity since the invention of the wheel. Today technology has helped us save time and helps those who use it to complete tasks easier and more efficiently. And saving time and being able to complete task more efficiently is paramount in today’s society where being able to operate as lean as possible is a major priority, if not the top priority. Technology is one of the major reasons businesses, both small and large, can function as well as they do in a rapid and agile manner. Just think about how technology affects many jobs today compared to one-hundred years ago, and not even that long ago, maybe even thirty years ago. Technology itself makes life easier, and makes task that used to be stringent and
