The Importance Of Technology

Today’s society is more affected by technology than it ever has been and it is changing every second of every day. Advancements in technology have been changing our culture and society for hundreds of years; from hunters and gatherers to information overload to a future of the most advanced technologies we could imagine. These fast advancements in technology quickly change our society. This statement was greatly expanded upon by three people: Gerhard Lenski, Leslie White, and Alvin Toffler

A smart, scholarly and skillful author named Aldous Huxley once said “Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards”. The advancement, improvement and the wrong use of technology has affected the world in a really negative way. When technology first started to improve and become more advanced was during the WW1 and WW2, which caused the most destructive wars in human history. For example the wrong use of technology led the Americans to produce one of the most destructive bombs that killed about more than 80,000 innocent people in Japan, Nagasaki. Another perfect example could be the production of nuclear weapons and missiles in Russia and Iran, which are made to eventually be used in another

Much like the rest of the developed world, technology has become a colossal part of my day to day life. From the second my cell phone’s alarm function wakes me up in the morning, to the calculator I use in class, to the show I’m currently watching on netflix when I’m falling asleep. Technology is always right there with me.

Einstein once said, “ I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots.” Most smart people agree with this quote because technology has surpassed humans and now the world is actually full of idiots! The old days had better, smarter people who have contributed a lot to humankind being where it is today. Think about it, people back then didn’t try to destroy the planet they lived on, but somehow the past 2 generations figured out how to do it in 50 years. There are people who would disagree with this completely and say things like, we are way better than them or if they were so smart, how come they didn’t invent the iPhone before us. Many agree that this is not the smartest generation, but they believe that the generations before us like the Egyptians who pretty much invented geometry, the Indus River Valley people who had advanced plumbing systems and urban plumbing, and the Mesopotamians who are famous for their hanging gardens and making the first written language have contributed more than we have to mankind.

Jon Harper, a Georgetown University graduate and famous politician, once said, “We must slow down and remember that sometimes technology may be needed simply to support our kids' passions, not replace them.” Technology advances faster than anyone could have ever expected. Schools implement technology devices to replace books and paper that was once used. Though technology can help students find information fast and easy, it does not out weigh the negative aspect of essentially brain washing them. By creating an easy to use device in schools, it can create distraction and misuse of the items. Though learning advantages exist, before fully implementing technology into schools, facilitators need to evaluate the factors of negative efficiency, child development, and future impacts.

Computers and technology has evolved over the years and has come useful but there are many reason that contract the good. Due to all this technology changed over the time, you can see that human interaction has stopped and it has failed to fill our needs of education. What I mean by this is that we are really not being educated but take what others put online and automatically believe it is right. Instead of researching and making your own conclusion. Another reason to why computers and technology is not good for society is because it has become very dangerous and harmful in many ways.

U.S. society and the entire world has transitioned from having automobiles that operated with a manual key to having automobiles that only require a push of a button that is operated by a computer system. However, computers and the internet has become more pervasive. For instance, social media plays a major role in individuals lives. People communicate with friends and family on the internet on a daily basis. Paper letters and stamps are no longer required. In the past people went days without talking to their loved ones and was dependant on a letter in the mail. The advancement of technological devices has changed the nation and family members are only a Facetime away. With this being said, businesses, especially industrial warehouses, have become solely dependant on technology due to the increase of operation efficiency. Businesses have the ability to monitor profit and loss reports by a click of a mouse. Technology has helped streamline many systems and increased efficiency and productivity. As technology increased, the growth of many businesses globally has increased as well making the competition for products and the job market challenging. The demand for low skilled work has lessened because the skills are no longer required. Given these points, my name is Ashley McClure. I am interested in the Dual Degree: Master’s of Business Administration and Master’s of Science in Information Systems at Kennesaw State University. I am from a small town really close to the Alabama

In today’s society, technology is looked at in usually two different ways. It can be looked down upon or highly praised by many. Back then authors predicted and wrote about some technological advancements that are either portrayed as a helpful or detrimental. Two prime examples of this are “There Will Come Soft Rains” and “Fahrenheit 451”, both pieces of literature written by Ray Bradbury. Technology is usually praised by the masses due to the countless medical advancements, its positive effect on the education around the world, and its assistance with certain tasks. However, some people might think otherwise.

Is the humanity given the correct use to the technology? Nowadays, the advancement of technology not only has brought numerous discoveries for our benefit but also has changed different aspects of our culture. As R. Buckminster Fuller stated, “Humanity is acquiring all the right technology for all the wrong reasons”. Technology is the main influence in our society; specifically, turning it into a sedentary society, increasing the rate of violence, and losing the communication bond in families.

Technology is a fast growing industry and humans are always trying to improve it but at what cost. Do humans actually want to progress or are we scared of what could happen if we did. People seem to think this world is very advanced in technology. Technology has progressed in some aspects. Our society is at a stagnation and needs to progress to compete in a globalized society.

Technology is something that is all around us, we may or may not use it in our everyday lives, but our everyday lives are full of it. Every corner you turn you will see someone on their phone, or their laptop, and every store you go into, you will see a computer or TVs advertising their products.The matter of the fact is that technology has become everything in our society. A big question we should all ask ourselves is: if technology is so important and impacts our lives so greatly, why has it not progressed? Even though technically has been around for a while, not improved since the 70s. It has been a significant amount of time since we have seen any progress. You see, progress is the act of moving forward, progressing both socially and economically; it’s creating new ideas and moving along with them. Progress is the little steps one takes towards a bigger outcome. Progress is the gained information to better understand the set and stone idea. Unfortunately, technology is doing the opposite of that; technology is stuck, and the few technological advances aren’t advance at all. Technology has been around for centuries, and will be around for many more centuries to come, but in our era it has yet to progress.

Technology has become a vital part of the insurance over the past decade in a plethora of ways, ranging from mobility to Big Data, and even social media. We are in a new era and insurance companies/agencies are being pushed to adapt, or face being pushed aside to those expanding with society. By utilizing the technology and new ways, they are maximizing customer outreach and satisfaction. The need for personal interaction is still a must, but slowly diminishing, yet there will always be a need especially for the elderly generations.

Technology is constantly progressing and advancing throughout several countries in the world. This is important because it affects each new generation, as they are being exposed to more benefits, some of which include more access to information. It is interesting to note how the generations exposed to technology are affected by technology's progression and prevalence. For example, are these generations more adept and knowledgeable than older generations who had to rely on using encyclopedias to look up information? While there is no clear determinate as every individual is unique and utilizes technology differently, education and technology may indeed be used to get ahead in life. In Karen Ho's Biographies of Hegemony, she describes Wall Street's strategy to recruit Ivy League students, which in their eyes, have the best education and capability. Likewise, education proves beneficial in Azar Nafisi’s Reading Lolita in Tehran, where Nafisi and a group of her students use literature as a form of education to temporarily disregard the totalitarian state they were forced to live within. And in Cathy Davidson’s Project Classroom Makeover, she describes how technology allowed Duke to potentially improve its students' performances with the integration of the iPod. Based on these accounts, although obstacles such as status and money, may keep higher power structures like Wall Street and the government in power, the use of technology and education may allow the world to become more egalitarian, as people would have more access to information they can utilize to become just as competent as those in power.

As time progresses, our conscious mind becomes muddled into the fast-paced society where we rely frequently on the usage of technology to solve our everyday life. Although, it is important to acknowledge the development and capabilities of modernization, it is essential to be cognizant of one’s mind. Having an innate capability of free-will is a powerful tool for humans to utilize because it gives us the choice to think for ourselves rather than letting others or machines think for us. However, nowadays, being mindful of the present and using our intrinsic free-will has become a burden due to the fact of sacrificing the significant of learning to wait and gain knowledge for speed. Nevertheless, individuals must understand that time and the

We are fortunate to live an era where our modern technology makes life convenient in an abundance of ways. Our mobile devices are necessities for multitasking and getting things done on time with the added bonus of entertainment to lighten our moods. As time goes on and the next iPhone becomes more advanced and popular among the masses, our reliance on these technologies become more intensified. We take for granted the simple and quick easiness of looking something up, getting a ride, or purchasing whatever we want with the touch of our fingers. A user could make almost anything can happen right here and right now with this handheld device. Moreover, our innovations in modern technology is nothing short of amazing, and is only improving
