Technology And Technology

The world has basically been taken over by technology. Its everywhere and easily accessible nowadays. There is an emerged advancement of the internet with its different platforms of communication. With all the technology available to use, a question is raised of whether it improves or destroys our minds.

Technology constantly consumes the lives of Americans whether that be in a car, a home, or in the palm of a hand. It continues to progress and is making outstanding changes for society, but what may not be realized is how it is negatively changing the identity of Americans. The most valuable assets of humans such as autonomy, the freedom to express beliefs, and the sense of fairness and justice are being compromised by technological advancements. The erosion of the traditional American identity has become prevalent, and if society continues to allow these radical technological changes the future of America may be in jeopardy. What needs to be addressed are the negative effects of social media and news outlets, and how the people are conforming their lives around them. With the continuation of the publics demise into technological control, there is no telling what the future of the American identity will be.

I, like countless other children in recent years, grew up alongside technology from a young age. Video games and the internet became ingrained into my life and have absolutely shaped the person I am now. They are an integral part of who I am and how I have developed as a person over the course of my life. While I cannot say that it has only been a positive change, technology has influenced my goals, desires, and personality as I have grown.

There is nothing else like the internet that can bring social evolution, and it has reshaped our life deeply during these two decades. The millennials are called net generation because they grow up in an environment that is constantly exposed to computer-exposed technology. The internet infiltrates into almost every aspect of the social life, and the digital technology will continue to change society in the next decade in the area of artificial intelligence. It remains unclear for the future of these changes on human beings. Some people greet this development, others may think it will lead to dire consequences. It is true that the Internet promotes social change in terms of altering the way of communication. However, This essay will argue that the internet is the most significant technology that hinders social progress in terms of culture, human behavior and human right.

The youth and childhood of this upcoming generation has been interrupted by the overexposure to technology. More than a third of young children are found to be tapping on tablets and smartphones before they can even walk or talk. This shocking statistic is a leading cause of the overuse of screen time. The amount of time children spend glued to a screen has risen dramatically. According to Childwise; a market research firm, children aged five to sixteen spend an average of six and a half hours a day in front of a screen.

The different views expressed by the people I interviewed, Carol, 72, and Annie, 16, express just how much adolescents have changed throughout the last century. The differences in today’s adolescents and the adolescents of the past has much to do with technology. Most adolescents from sixty to seventy years ago view today’s adolescents in a harsh and critical light. The worlds of today’s adolescents and that of adolescents from sixty to seventy years ago are extremely different and their views of that world, both modern and historical, are as well.

I have heard it said many times that technology is going to be the downfall of us all, that someday we will wake up, and robots will be taking over the world. Technology will cause the world’s population to desocialize and break down! I have also heard that technology will start a new renaissance, a new age of human creativity and passion for the arts and sciences. And this idea is just as preposterous as the first. But how could that be, you might be asking. The answer is simple: it’s human nature. Humans have been doing the same thing they have been today for millennia, looking out for themselves, and that will not stop as soon as there is a large technological advancement. Brooking and Singer in their article War Goes Viral backs up this argument, with examples to how new advancements in technology have essentially weaponized social media, turning it into a tool to instill fear into others. Technology has only enabled humans to do what they do best, which is to defend themselves and push an agenda. That’s what it has ultimately boiled down to, and that’s what will always happen with any new technology. Society has been impacted by technology by enabling humans to connect to each other easier, and spread ideas and ideologies faster than before, at the cost of human selfishness and zealousness being more pronounced.

Today, technology is everywhere, in every corner, in every turn, in every place; furthermore, everyone that has a connection with technology will agree with the concept that technology has benefited humankind in all kinds of facilities especially classrooms. The use of technology in classrooms has highly evolved into being used every single day. Few times before a couple years back; just maybe a teacher would allow someone to apply a device's capability to accomplish work in class. Now, however, times are different and everything is changing; moreover, technology is now being used in classrooms to complete online assignments, for research for in class projects, being able to easily count attendance, and to complete the state exam test known as STAAR.

Technology has altered our lifestyle and it is continuing to make changes. In fact, there is not one aspect of our life that technology has not touched. In this paper, I will discuss two areas where technology has made a significantly profound effect in the way we communicate; the Apple iPhone and civil air drones. I will begin this discussion with the iPhone.

For as long as man has had work to do, he has invented machines to help him at his work. From a simple hammer to the invention of the wheel, the progress of machinery has defined entire periods of human history. Technology has now become so advanced that, through robotics and automation, machines are capable of completely replacing human workers in certain jobs and fields. (THESIS): Automation in the workplace is bad because, the gap between poor and rich will widen, people with a lower education level will have trouble finding work, and it will solidify the cycle of poverty.

Decades ago children entertained themselves with simple things, like conkers and even the game of hopscotch. This has changed dramatically, nowadays we have games and other apps right at our fingertips, thus creating a new generation of tech-savvy teens with a world revolving around the internet. The internet can oftentimes be a quite dangerous place for kids and even adults. You may be experiencing negative effects from cyberbullying or non positive things on your screen. People around you and even your closest friends can also be the ones that are affected. This wide group of individuals can all participate and do their part in helping overcome the issues the internet makes some of us face. Inclusive, children and adults use technology as a reliance, thus causing negative effects that we can all strive to end.

Another aspect that is important to take into account is the role of technology in today's global economy. Technology dictates which sectors are most affected by opening and it has its biggest impact on activities involving dematerialized information. In these particular activities, technology generates more integration and makes more troublesome for the state to regulate and control. However, modern technology is a two-edged sword because it also makes it easier to regulate and monitor other activities, such as the implementation of fiscal, monetary and redistributive policies. Nevertheless, there are many activities to which opening to the global economy remains in general irrelevant: domestic services, most of the health care and education.

In today’s society, technology is taking over. Every year when technology advances, it attracts people to upgrade and use the new technology. Technology will always be a part of the world because a mass amount of people depends on it. It is exceedingly easy to pull out a phone and search anything. Children have been the most affected by technology due to the fact that they revolve around it. Today, most children own their own tablet or phone. I believe technology has affected children in good and bad ways. Although technology allows children to use it for educational purposes, they can be exposed to real life video game violence, easy access to anything, and distraction from important things.

Technology overcoming the workforce has always been discussed as a stern subject matter for people nowadays. For humans to say that technology has made some advancements in the past is a major understatement. Throughout the past few century’s technology has made advances in agriculture, education, medicine, and even more benefiting human consumption. All of this may seem beneficial, but now computers are being invented to imitate human functions, possibly replacing them all together. For example, some restaurants do not even have cash registers, since a computer can compute all similar functions. There are missing components that have initiated challenges for computer’s development, making it extremely difficult to proceed the process of replicating human functions to the full extent.

When growing up in a world of technology and luxuries that your parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles didn’t experience while growing up makes the younger generation of our time wonder how they “survived” without cell phones and wifi. As technology and devices advance throughout the years we feel as we need the new and improved device that comes out every month. Conversing with my parents about the new contraptions us teenagers have our fingers and eyes glued to 24/7 they discussed the positives and negatives about growing up and watching the technology evolve and advance. Technology helps advance education, entertainment, and communication; however kids take advantage of technology to hoax their school work, most kids are too
