It’s hard not to see or use a technology tool in our daily life, if we live in a modern world. The bombardment starts early in the morning and it will be manifested through our day in several ways, the regular person will wake up and check the apps on the cellphone while drinking a coffee, it can be for example to read news on the web, daily market numbers or for social interaction with others. The expansion to advanced options of communications like smartphones and tablets are great examples of the accelerated transition to a mass online communication. The social use of technology is influencing adult population in our present. According to Pew Research Center (n.d) data collected up to September 2014 in the online environment:

As time progresses we become more and more dependent on technology. I myself have watched it invade my home and become an essential part of my life. Almost every household in the United States in connected to social media in some way. Many of us have become so dependent on it that we feel like we’ve lost a part of ourselves when we lose out phones. Technology has given us the power to make major leaps in medicine, communication and entertainment. With all of this wonderful new technology it makes me wonder, is it affecting our cognitive and social development?

Today people spend about seven hours and thirty-eight minutes per day on technology (Ives, p.18). The excessive amounts of technology, including the use of social media, has been negatively affecting our society as a whole. The problem is not the fact that we are using technology, but it is the overuse and excessive amounts that is hurting us. Although technology has some benefits, such as being able to use its tools effectively and being able to connect easily, we have to consider its social and psychiatric effects when it comes to using it in excessive amounts.

Technology throughout the years has become more advance and has allowed for people around the world to stay connected, but has technology really made it possible for society to interact with one another? With the use of technology, staying in touch with friends and family is easy. There are numerous social media apps, such as, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram that allow for such easy communication, however, the use of these apps to “stay connected” is having the opposite effect and is leading to people feeling alone. Technology has made people feel more alone by causing students to feel depressed or burned out from school, sleep deprivation, can lead to risks such as death or guilt, and causing those who use technology to miss out on events and social gatherings.

Five months went on swiftly in time, we came very close, I mean our excavation, also in relationship too. Durga, what a beautiful name, is it because she is being named Durga, I feel like it is the most beautiful name? Or am I going mad due. “Love makes anyone go mad”, in my case, it’s clearly proved. I have actually spent five months with her in the camp, but it feels as if five minutes for me, I haven’t propose her though knowing the truth, she likes me. There’s nothing to my conscious impossible or scary to do, but this one is different, proposing a girl and convince her what one feel about her is an impossible one, not because women are weak but because, men are not strong enough to face that or am I the only man in this whole world

Technological advances in industry are destroying US jobs and distancing people from direct social interaction. Nonetheless, technological advances have also raised the standard of living and the average life expectancy and have increased food production, eliminating the possibility of famine. Technology has allowed people to do both fantastic and terrible things, but the technology was not the cause of those good or bad results; technology is merely an instrument for the user, resulting in either good or bad outcomes. Technology has no moral value and is only valuable as an instrument, meaning that the results of the technologies’ uses do not incur moral worth on the technologies themselves.

The internet has recently boomed with millions of users and has given social media the recognition of a global phenomenon. Why has an object of merely electronics become so popular and why has it influenced the human lifestyle so greatly? These are just a few of the provoking questions that allow the analysis of the internet and its influences on our civilization. Within our human culture and when dealing with the internet; many connect it and social media merely to the youth of the millennial age. Although, in reality it is easily identified with lives of all ages. In one way or another social network connects to both the youth and the mature. Various reactions have been expressed in regard to the necessity for the use of social media. The internet can be labeled as a platform that empowers users and positively innovates the world, others have the mindset that it is counterproductive and will lead to societal disintegration. The internet has projected human achievement, knowledge and communications drastically making it an inevitability within the lifestyles of the present, summiting those surrounded by the network to undergo positive influence.

There are huge changes in the economy as the result of the rapid development of technology. In international finance, the capital flows between banks, and the economic, political and cultural connections will be influenced by the advances in technology between countries and regions. Science and technology development is a symbol of social progress, but also one of the reasons for economic development.

The development of technology is upon the many fields of knowledge, including historical, language learning, mathematical, etc. Every single moment of our day is affected due to the inventions of years ago, from turning on a light switch to cooking breakfast. An invention that still affects us today and will continue to do so is a computer. Although the computer continues to modernize as time goes by, it has positively impacted the way a student’s technology literacy knowledge and skills are developed for professional success.

Technology is said to be taking over the world as we know it, and will soon whip out paper in its entirety. Technology is quick growing with ample routes, while paper has vast history, with little room for improvement. With all of the efforts to eliminate paper, it will always find a way to continue with a prominent meaning in current times.

People’s current internet and other digital habits do affect their ability to be good friends, students, and members of society. Socially, the usage of technology affects people's ability to communicate and how they react to certain situations. We will explore the changes that have occurred to the human psyche when the body has had any technology usage. Technology affects essentially all members of society and therefore is changing humankind in a sense.

Technology has changed so many of the ways in which we live our lives, from the invention of the wheel to the advanced systems we use and take for granted everyday. Technology was once taboo in most house holds while people still clung to the idea that life was built on life experiences. Nicholas Carr stated in, Is Goggle making us stupid? "Back in the fourth century, BCE, Plato complained that writing (then a fairly new technology) was destroying peoples memory, yet he wrote dozens of books. For half a century, television has been accused of rotting our brains and making us fat and lazy, but most people depend on it for info, news and entertainment." Technology has changed our understanding of the way things work and

In the past few decades’ technology has significantly transformed lives; however, this development has not come without controversy and challenges. It has therefore sparked discussions and debates regarding the safe consumption of the technology. Controversy, ambiguities, and demagoguery are such issues which have become evident attributable to technological development. Technology development has affected how things are accomplished and consequently affected decision-making. “The discussions have majored in the issue of ethics and safety because technology can be applied negatively.” (Foley, 2006).

This would indicate there would be an increase of females working within the technology field, and this rapid change in the way we as humans communicate would indicate the information age demands parents to be consistently up to date with the latest innovations of technology. Both genders would have to be aware of basic computing knowledge, the home would require internet access and parents would be required to be at an above average understanding of word processing.

Time and progression are usually concepts that are found to work in unison, and this connection is profoundly present in the development of technology. Human advancements in the creation of life altering machinery has taken leaps and bounds in terms of how it has altered society, yet one has to consider the effects these developments have on already existing methods of a functioning civilization. One example of this phenomenon is the expansion of journalism from a closely knit field providing the news to an entirely open platform, via the internet, offering anyone the chance to spread information with previously unheard of haste. Attempting to impede the ever extending hand of change is an impossible task; however, it leads to an interesting argument about the impact of information sharing—particularly concerning journalism—now that there is such a readily available line of communication that can reach near anywhere in the world. As knowledge now resides a few button clicks away it brings about speculation considering integrity of the author and information that are presented, both of which seem to have been further diminished by the vast range of who can offer news in this modern digital age.
