Technology And Its Impact On Modern Society

We live in an era where technology is used in almost everything. The technology market keeps improving day by day and this has made people all around the world lazy and more importantly this has made a gigantic impact on their health. Technology changes people. The addiction to technology is enormous. Many do not have social lives. With the rapid growth of technology, there has been a debate on how people are using technology in their lives. Many people think that we are using too much technology in our day today life and is abusing the modern devices to make our lives much easier. According to what I have observed and experience, I believe people have people have become overly dependent on technology.

Ever since the evolution of technology has evolved there have been numerous incidents from good to bad with murders, cyber bullying, threats, and interacting with new people. Laws have been passed for multiple reasons due to the inclement amounts of violent behaviors through technology as it has became more revolutionized. Many people have thoughts that technology is out of control with fatalities, and cyber bullying becoming such a problem for children, and even adults. Also in addition many other groups of people agree with technology because it has become easier, and easier to contact family, friends or even search the web with a smart phone in your hand. Technology has become a great way to contact with family or friends but has made a horrific impact on those who have not matured enough for the extremely destructible path that awaits them.

Specific Purpose: By the end of my speech people will know more about the effects of the technology they use in their everyday lives.

Technology, for many of us has become a big part of our lives. We use it for almost anything and everything because it is easy and is available to us in the tips of our fingers. Although, technology is very helpful in our everyday lives, but, at the same time it can also be harmful. There are many pros and cons about technology in the general society because many people look at technology in different ways. Some people see technology as a life changing opportunity to do things better and more efficient while others see technology as a burden and another way to become lazy. Technology aids in communicating with people around the world, military uses, getting homework done, using references online, entertainment, etc. But, technology also has negative impacts on and individual, relationships, education, and society.

It is clear that as our world ages, our technology advances. The youth of today are constantly immersed in technological advancements that promote non stop communication and instant gratification, whether through cell phones, gaming systems, laptops, or MP3 players. But are these technological advancements a good thing? We believe that the growth of technology has negatively influenced the social interactions of today 's youth because it isolates individuals from reality, hinders communication, and perpetuates the concept of immediate ­satisfaction. These electronics are innovations in our life and it is unacceptable for children to be spending so much time using them. Not only does technology hinder the relationship between children and

We use it every time We ride in a car, every time we message our friends, every time we do anything as small as run a bath. Technology is all around us, being in everything we do today, and technology will continue to be a more influential element in our everyday lives. The rise of technological science has been very beneficial to our society. Of these technologies, one of the most beneficial of these is the rise of the smartphone, this technological advancement has greatly influenced the way we communicate , the way we get information, and even the way that we complete tasks.

As the movie Star Wars was a colossal hit of the generation X, technology has been welcomed amongst the current generation; generation Z, of which myself is included.  Star Wars has gone away as generations have passed, but technology is not leaving. Technology is here to stay, in the long run, technology will only further advance. Technology has made a presence everywhere. Computers are used for a majority of tasks in schools no matter the age of the students, of those who own a watch, a majority of the time have touchscreen smart watches, Adults and teenagers stare at their phones, and three year olds play a game on their iPads. In recent times, there were only landline phones, but those who had one did not have their life based around their phone. Also, when technology began to advance, only those who are at a greater age had these technological devices.  In the twenty-first century, technologies popularity has a greater rank than ever before. Phones are used for everything; games, social media, google, calculators, calendars, camera, phone calls, and texting. As technology has become popular in not only the United States, societies behaviors have changed. This rapid growth of technology is showing major concerns to this generation of young citizens, myself included.

What is technology? Technology is a form of information that is not thrilling for creating tools, processing actions and removing different types of materials. Technology is a wide ranged application of scientific knowledge used for different practical purposes. According to (Buchanan, R. 2017) the achievements of technology from the year of 1900, has improved tremendously from the upcoming decades, which is currently today’s time. With constantly being involved with technology in today’s current society witnesses are more advanced based on technology. There is over a wide range of activities that connects to receiving information that has previously recorded that connects to the history of technology. There have been several different forms of improvements in technology over the last several decades.

Progress is now the single biggest unifying idea in the world. The progressive advancements in technology we are accustomed to today are due to the Industrial Revolution that started in the late 1700s. Since then, societies have prioritized progress in hopes of improving the standard of living. This mindset has led to a world where individuals no longer experience real life, which then further effects human relationships. This cycle of events is destroying what it means to be human.

Technology has rapidly increased over the past few years and has had a great impact on everyone in several ways. The impact of this applied science on people’s lifestyles has made several too dependent on technology. There needs to be a specific limit to technology that is reasonable but considerable for everyone. This new addiction is truly significant because this modern world of ours can have dangerous consequences that we are not aware of. In the past, many of the machines and gadgets available that are present now did not even exist and much was done by hand and hard work. The effects of technology vary from cyber crime to cost effectiveness. Sure it can be very helpful and cost worthy but can also cause anxiety and even death. The increasing of technology causes increased availability as well as communication. With all of the opportunities people have with technology, several still abuse the opportunity of making life easier to an extreme. A majority of the world relies on technology and do not see the situation is getting out of control and that ample of the use is not necessary. Humans are over-reliant on technology and in order to improve lives, people should reduce its use and return to a more simple way of being.

There are those who would claim that technology has not adversely influenced society in any overt way, and in fact that “technology has made society more durable,” yet in spite of this claim, it becomes clear that the technology/society divide and its subsequent associations have caused a vast number of problems within society today, not the least of which is the blurring of the line between the use of technology and basic societal interactions, resulting in a disconnect in society, the likes of which have never before been seen (Latour, 1990, p. 103). It has even been purported that the inclusion of technology to the degree by which it is currently used, a degree which continues in an ever increasing pattern, serves to indicate that the continued use and continued inclusion of technology within society will only serve to make society as a whole worse for its use (Wu, 2014). Through a review of different ways in which technology has influenced changes within today’s society, it will be possible to show, if not where the balance shifted between the positivity of the inclusion of technology in society to a negative influence, then the manner in which the current usages of technology have served to directly impact the manner in which society currently functions.

Upon first instinct, most people would surmise that technology has an overwhelmingly negative effect on society. Although there might be consequences that stem from technology, these negative effects only bring about more good than they bring about evil. This good transforms the world in ways people may never be able to comprehend. Technology will always be the epitome of human intelligence and it is this fact that should allow us to not only understand that technology is not dangerous to us but that technology should enable the human race to take part in the furthering of humanity 's evolution in intelligence. Take Google for instance. Google allows people to search the internet in a matter of seconds instead of going to the local library and spending the entire day looking for that one source to use for a paper. This idea applies to papers all levels of education from elementary to college to even graduate school. Not only does Google create increasingly more clever individuals, but it provides a way for us to become an expert in anything the world has to offer in mere minutes, allows us to follow anything, or anyone, in this world, and allows us to seek God on a more personable level with access to all things biblical.

Technology is scientific development that helps solving problems and increases human abilities. In the society nowadays, technologies are the center of connecting with people all over the world and impact our society in a big way. If we look back thirty years ago, not everyone had all of new technologies and knew an idea of getting information at anytime and anywhere from a World Wide Web. Because of these technologies, people have opportunities to improving their knowledge of world via Internet technology and to communicate with people from all corners of world. Smart phone are the fast growing technology among all of the new technologies and a huge increase in the capabilities of our electronic devices. Comparing to the past, people used cell phone only for calling and answering from other people, but nowadays the way of using cell phone have been changed. Smart phone is the multi-tasking device that allows people talking, texting, surfing the internet, and using a lot functions all the time. Because of the easiness of smart phone, a lot people, especially teens, are interested to use its technology to do things. Texting, surfing the internet, and “selfie” have become a trend of teens using cell phone and have played a huge part of teen’s lives.

Technology is of great significance in human society and become an integrate part of people’s life. The number of people who use technology is still increasing constantly. The majority of people, no matter in school or at work, is using cellphone and laptop for class or work. Communication is definitely one of the most important functions that the advanced technologies offer to modern people. Internet, as one of the most useful technology products, is used to spread out information as quickly as positive. It provides a new way for people to obtain the latest news all over the world. Various information, ranging from president election to disease awareness, can be easily acquired from Internet, which greatly facilitates those who care about and need such data.

Before modern technology, men would band together for the protection of their families. History has proven people group together for survival, whether that be warmth, food, or protection. The idea was that a group is stronger and more profitable than one person acting alone. Each tribe or gathering of individuals working together is considered a society. A society is nothing more than a group of people living together for a common purpose, or simply because it is more convenient. But, if all societies were thriving entities, then we would not know the hardships that have repeated throughout history, such as, poverty and famine. On the contrary, a society that works well is a society that works for the well-being of its individual members. A high functioning and successful society is built on a foundation of trust and equality and enforced by a governing body.
