Technological Advancements : Technology, And The Increasing Intelligence Of Human Beings

As technology is advancing, it is ruining our reputations and everyday lives because we use it too much. “The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury is a story of parents who use too much technology to spoil their two kids which rely on technology and use it to kill their own parents. The Atlantic is an article on how technology has changed the concept of the community and how it affects people’s daily lives in mostly negative ways. In both sources, humans rely on technology too much, having a negative effect.

Throughout the evolution of mankind, we made discoveries that change the way we live our lives today. Over time, these breakthroughs demonstrate the progress succumbed by the human race as challenges arise. Nevertheless, technology is a significant factor to the progress in today's world. If there was no tech then there would be no cell phones. Cell phones are one of those vital pieces of tech we use frequently. Tech is always around us. Humans create things to make life easier and resolve a once difficult task at hand. Moreover, inventions brought up in the past make the present and future bigger and brighter because of how much simpler life becomes. Because of the technological advancements

A. Attention Getter: Four Years of your life is wasted to what’s sitting inside all of your pockets right now; your cellphone. The average person spends roughly 90 minutes a day playing on their phone, whether it’s checking emails, Snapchatting or scrolling through your Twitter feed. According to The Dailymail.com we unlock our phones at least 110 times per day! We’ve become almost dependent on these devices over time, and it needs to stop. We rely on our phones everyday to wake us up for school and to know the time of day.

In today's society there is no escape from technology. We are completely submerged in our iPhone, ipads, computers, and gaming systems. These gadgets give us the opportunity to be connected to each other and the rest of the world at all times. But, this is not a glorious step in history. Technology blinds us from the real world. As John Tudor said, “Technology makes it possible for people to gain control over everything, except technology.” We may run our lives with the help of our iPhones and computers, but do these forms of technology in turn control us? At first glance these new advances are greater steps to making our lives easier. But, when examined closely a large portion of technology is the cause of many problems in our society.

Technology is part of our lives; or is our life, and it has too much of an effect on everything. The internet started out as an amazing experiment, now it became this enormous

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury has long been a staple of literature classes around the globe. And for years, the popular consensus has been that the main theme of the novel is censorship. When examining the political environment at the time of the book’s publishing, it is easy to understand why many readers identified with a message of suppression and government regulation. It was 1953 and American Senator Joseph McCarthy was in the midst of his controversial communism investigations. However, in a 2007 interview with LA Weekly, Bradbury clarified his intentions behind the classic novel. “Fahrenheit 451 is not […] a story about government censorship. Nor was it a

In the modern day, it’s easy to see man’s need for technology. The need to surpass previous limits is what drives society today in such a technologically advanced world. Although we continuously push for newer, faster, more powerful computers and components, we barely stop and think about how society in turn affects its development.

Technology is used on a daily basis to accomplish specific tasks or interests. Modern technology increases human capabilities and this technology has evolved with years. Technology simplifies life in so many ways and everyone defines technology in their own way. They’re new types of technology on the market, this technology simplifies our daily lives. They’re endless demands as consumers of technology, people use technology to accomplish simple tasks every day. Technology’s used in business, education, communication, healthcare, entertainment and so much more. There’s an unquestionable impact of technology on society. Whether considering the plow, vaccinations, or the internet, technology has had a huge impact on society. While not every advance benefits society, there’s many positive effects of technology. Modern technology makes life more convenient now more than ever. Modern technologies like broadband internet makes it possible to access relevant information at any time anywhere. Today’s technology makes it simple for students to learn from anywhere through online education and mobile education, which improves the education system. It also improves the health system, most hospitals have implemented modern technology in surgical rooms, which may reduce the number of mistakes made by doctors. Modern technology’s more convenient than when it was simpler because, it provides an easy way to access information, improves the education system, and it improves the health system.

There is a conspiracy as to whether or not our generation is the dumbest or not. Many are questioning if the science of technology is helping or hindering people’s intelligence. Some would argue that technology is affecting our brains in a negative manner, making us less intelligent. However kids and teens of our generation are continuing to excel in the advancement of technology, improving our society, therefore making us not the dumbest generation.

“What is technology?” Have you ever marveled about the prominence of technology in our day-to-day lives? If you ever have, you have undoubtedly appreciated its complexity and its capability to make everyday responsibilities easier for yourself. For example, you probably admire how cellphones have completely eradicated the old-fashioned method of communicating, by sending mail to friends and relatives. Or how the invention of laptops and computers have brought up a new, more efficient method to stay in touch with the world, though the internet, rather than the previous method of newspapers. However, all these basic ideas of the importance of technology are ideas of what technology has done for you, and can be completely different for others. Have you ever wondered what technology has done for others, perhaps people not in the same circumstances as you, perhaps of a different age, religion, race, gender, or socio-economic status than you? Maybe you haven’t, but Microsoft, a leading technological superpower, certainly have wondered about this as seen in their “Empowering” ad.

Human advancement comes from technology. Technology makes our lives more efficient, productive, and comfortable. But in the early days, technological advances were slow, but as time progressed and as the advances in technology increased, human progress has increased with unprecedented speed. In the past 200 years, humans have advanced more rapidly than the rest of human history combined. However, there is a major problem associated with this rapid advancement, population growth. Human population growth has exponentially grown since the industrial era and the current massive and growing population leaves us with the problem of how to feed the populace. To combat this problem, scientists have created genetically modified organisms, or GMOs. However, ever since GMOs have been patented in 1980, GMOs have come under heavy scrutiny from many parties.

Education, work and leisure are all progressively becoming dependent on being able to interact with technology. In society today, technology is appreciated and considered to be a valuable addition to civilization. It affects the

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.

Mornings are associated with many things: a tasty drink of piping hot coffee, the sound of birds chirping, moving into a nice, long stretch, the smell of fresh bacon cooking on the stove, and occasionally running downstairs to check for gifts underneath the Christmas tree. They are also associated with alarm clocks, starting the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and daily routines. Think about your daily routine. Do you read the newspaper? Do you eat breakfast? Do you brush your teeth? For many people, their day starts with megabytes, pixels, screens, blue light, and wifi. The first thing they do in the morning is turn off their alarm, which is on their phone, and check their social medias, which is on their phone. News, music, and games can all be found in one’s pocket. Phones can do many amazing things. As arguably the most often used technological device, phones are both an example and a cause of what technology can do to a society. However, there are some disadvantages to the virtual reality we are living in today. To make myself clear, we are losing key listening and communication skills because of technology.

People wanted change and want to change the history and biography of society. Using their sociological imagination, they developed the technology thinking it is the solution of the present and for the tomorrow. However, what people in society don’t realize is that while technology might look like a solution to the society’s current situation, technology actually rewrites an updated version of society’s history and biography. Like in socialization process where before the birth of the technology people are socializing face to face, today most of the socialization process occurs over the internet. People today are so busy socializing using the technology that it takes their personal time away from family. However, even though technology rewrites the history and the biography of society, it is actually helpful in so many ways. Technology makes life easier for so many, because people can do what they want without leaving their homes like the online shopping where people don’t need to go out and go shopping, or travel everyday to work because there are now so many options to work from home. Aside from socialization process, shopping habit and career opportunities another history and biography that technology is rewriting is the
