Technology And Technology

Technology has become an increasing presence in society. Most of it has been for the better, but there is a dark side to technology that has been forming. Many works of literature have been written in order to expose this negative presence. The Circle by Dave Eggers, published in 2013, follows a young woman, Mae throughout her new job. She has started working at a tech company, which becomes increasingly invasive and controlling of everyone’s lives. Similarly, in The Truman Show directed by Peter Weir, released in 1998, a man named Truman has been raised in a world which he believes to be real, but it has actually been manipulated for a television show. Likewise, in Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, published in 1953, Montag, a firefighter

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.

Today in society, people tend to depend on technology more than ever before. Things like computers, email, and internet have greatly impacted society, but perhaps most of all business. Things can be done almost instantly with the use of technology. Technology has created an immense amount of jobs in our world’s economy. An entirely new group of people are needed to work with, develop, and maintain all the new technology in homes and the workplace. With everything made easier, and completely done for us, through the use of technology, people are slowly but surely forgetting to do things like mathematics, socializing, reading, literacy skills and critical thinking.

Technology has impacted the world to the point of no return. The world is a social media cyclone meaning it’s a hurricane taking over, and it’s no denying in any way. Even if you tried to ignore what is happening in technology, it would nonetheless have introduced itself to you and a friend or a family member no matter what your circumstances are. You could hold a Priests position or practice some type of religion which don’t allow the use for today’s technology at all.

In modern society, a man in his early twenties walks to a near by bus stop and sits down next to an elderly man. The younger man, wearing tight blue skinny jeans, has long hair, a headphone in his ear with music blaring, and his phone glued to his eyes. The older man give the younger man a dirty look and looks him up and down, judgment on his face. Gaps in understanding like this can be caused by perceived differences caused by generations. Generations are described as a series of people around the same age who because of their similar experiences in the world share overlapping worldviews and beliefs based on the times they grew up in (Berkup, Turkey, 208). Studies done by the Mediterranean Journal of Social Science states that there has been as many as five chronological Generations, starting from: the Traditionalists of 1900-1945, Baby Boomers in 1946-1964, Generation X, lasting from 1965 to 1979, Generation Y from 1980-1994, to present day Generation Z. Thought out society times change and the aging population must learn the valuable lessons that are brought about today by Generation Z, popularly deemed “Millennials”when is comes to having open mindset, understand the importance of technology, and have and over all more awareness to this progressing planet. For humankind to continue to flourish and grow, it is important for these groups to learn from one another.

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.

In the most recent decade or so innovation has changed the way we live, work and impart. There are such a large number of gadgets out there that enable us to interact with each other overall whether it is the modest PC or versatile contraptions. “As people rely more and more on technology to solve problems, the ability of humans to think for themselves will surely deteriorate." Are we genuinely free? We are by and large false to the present that slavery, a standout amongst the harshest occasions not only in the Philippines history, is 100% over in this nation. How accurate is above explanation?

There are new technologies being developed and sent out into the world every single day. With the advancement of a massive number of electronics, parents are creating ill-behaved offspring. Instead of walking their child to the bus stop holding hands, it’s now mom or dad texting or emailing their friends. How many children have been left in hot cars this summer because the adult forgot about them. How on earth can one forget a child unless maybe the distraction of that cell phone or tablet gets in the way? Bullying has risen to an all-time high in schools around the nation and nothing seems to be changing. Parents used to teach their children about responsibility and kindness towards others and now it seems that parents expect the television to do that. Some will argue that all of the technology floating around these days is actually helping children. The young ones are learning reading and writing much faster with help from a tablet or new Internet site. The help of certain applications such as a virtual tutor may help a child get better grades, but where do we draw the line? Technology is hindering parent’s ability to parent and it needs to stop.

Despite technology being a practical tool to gain knowledge and information, it can be damaging to brain health. Overindulging in the use of technology can result in physical, mental, and emotional issues. If a person overuses technology can it damage their body? And if so how can you treat it? In order to start research on the topic, we must first study the composition of the brain to gain a comprehensive understanding of how the brain works.

We, as a society have been on a path of evolving in many ways. One of many is through technology and means of communication. Nicholas Carr’s article explained that we are so relaint with the web when it comes to looking for information. With cell phones becoming “smart phones” with apps that allow us to use websites created for socializing and sharing personal information, daily routines and current events. We have become somewhat internet reliant in many ways. There are many articles and studies on this very controversial topic. It is hard to ignore the facts and disagree with most but a lot of them also miss a bigger picture. The issue that always presents it-self is us becoming dumb or lazy minded as well as lonely and internet reliant which I believe all stems from self-control and self-awareness. On the other hand, we have Stephen Marche, where he explains if Facebook it’s self is making us lonely. He went on to explain more about Playboy model, Yvette Vickers who died and no one knew about it because she was alone when it happened. People eventually found out because she was still logged in on her computer. When thinking about this situation, it makes many readers realize that we, as a society we tend to put social media first and must rely on that for any news or information we seek.

Many critics have written opinion pieces on technology and how it affects our society. Some say technology will be the ruin of the human race as we know it, others say it is the greatest tool to ever be made, and yet others state technology is changing the basic function of the human mind. Along with the before stated topics, equalities of all kinds are thoroughly presented in these opinion pieces. Whether it is gender, racial, or inequalities based on disabilities; writers have covered many of the bases when it comes to how technology affects discrimination. Eula Biss wrote an essay on telephone poles called Time and Distance Overcome, which also covered racial discrimination. Another work called Is Coding the New Literacy? by Tasneem Raja goes in-depth on the gender gap in the computer coding work field. Elizabeth Marcoux explains how technology is responsible for discrimination in the form of cyberbullying in her work, Cyberbullying and Technology. The one exception to the discrimination that happens is discussed in the work, To Siri With Love by Judith Newman. She shows how technology can be used as an equalizer in some cases in society. While technology has solved many problems; many inequalities pertaining to race, gender, and numerous others are still prevalent in the cyber world.

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.

Implementing technology to support the use of e-textbooks will impact the institution. A learning management system will be needed to access the e-textbook (Bossaller & Kammer, 2014). Servers or cloud storage will be needed to store files and content (Sundeen & Sundeen, 2013). The Internet is needed to access the e-textbooks (Bossaller & Kammer, 2014). The bandwidth needs to accommodate the use of the e-textbook without having problems with the network freezing, slow downloads, and printing (Bossaller & Kammer, 2014). Students will need a device to access the e-textbook (Romig, 2017), so more computer labs may be needed.

Technology may sound like a modern and futuristic term, but it has existed as long as innovation has existed. A cave man using a stone to grind up wheat is just as much an application of technology as Tesla’s implementation of self driving cars. The invention and utilization of the wheel is as technological as the invention of the smartphone. Every type of innovation and invention can be traced back to a point in time where someone saw a way to apply their knowledge to something. According to Webster’s Dictionary, the definition of technology is the practical application of knowledge especially in a particular area. For the longest time I always thought of technology as strictly being associated with electronics. That’s before I actually
