The quote says that technology is useful, but if it begins to control you, then it becomes dangerous. Technology is now a big part of our society and our past, present, and future.

Impacts of Advanced Technology on Society and Environment: From the very beginning of the advancements in technology by humans, the use of it has played a major key role on the society and the environment. Only recently we humans have become more concerned of the negative effects of this technology on us. Among these negativities, the major ones are global warming, air and water pollution, extinction of rare species biological wastes. The entire process of developing the technological products and
Today’s society is more affected by technology than it ever has been and it is changing every second of every day. Advancements in technology have been changing our culture and society for hundreds of years; from hunters and gatherers to information overload to a future of the most advanced technologies we could imagine. These fast advancements in technology quickly change our society. This statement was greatly expanded upon by three people: Gerhard Lenski, Leslie White, and Alvin Toffler Gerhard
Does technology affect people or do people affect technology? Technology influences each appearance about our daily lives, it has an effect on the growth of the economy, and our culture.

Current technology can be applied in almost everything from medical devices to kitchen appliances. For example, the refrigerators that can send out text messages when one is low on milk or any other grocery. In Aldous Huxley’s novel, Brave New World, it closely depicts
The Impact of Computer Science on Health Care & Medicine Abstract Computer science can be defined as the systematic study of algorithmic processes, their theory, design, analysis, implementation and application. Its functions in the modern society today expand far beyond the uses one could even begin to imagine. Specifically, there is an increased influence in its practical application in the field of medicine. In recent times, an interdependent relationship between medicine
extremely sophisticated type of technology, comes in use for humans but unlikely fails to meet its intended purpose. Robotics is generally known as some sort of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science that involves the design, construction, operation, and application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing. These technologies contain automated machines that can take the place of humans in dangerous environments or
