The Importance Of Technology In My Life

To start off, I’d like to say I go through periods of time where I only use my phone to call my mom or make plans. There are points where I don’t check social media for months. Other months though, I am a frequent and an adequate user of social media. I go back and forth.

Social media allows us to connect to people all across the world. It allows us to stay connected to friends and family who are far away and people who are somewhat close that you may not see often. For example

Social Media is all across the world, from ordering something from Amazon to Googleing a question, social media is vital to our society and its making life so much more comfortable. Social media can help connect you with others across the world, it can help major issues in the world, it can also help out a great ton with organizations organizing.

Social media is out there to help us every day. People can use it to research nearly everything, for example things like communication and even business marketing. There are many channels of social media. A few examples are Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube, just to name a few of the popular ones.

Technology is a piece of machinery or equipment developed with multiple uses. It can be classified into many categories, such as smart phones, televisions ,and computers. We all use a piece of technology almost everyday. In the book, The Time Machine by H.G. Wells, it takes place in around the 1800s and the narrator has supposedly travelled through time to the future. This book shows how technology is too advanced for its time, and others don’t believe its capabilities. They can’t believe that the Time Machine is able to move into the future or back into the past. However, Level 7 by Mordecai Roshwald shows how developing nuclear weapons is detrimental. With the development of nuclear technology, humanity eventually ends itself by launching nuclear bombs. And in the book Feed by M.T. Anderson, it shows teenagers living a life with a “feed”. A feed is a small device implanted in people's brains and the book shows how easily it is to become addicted to something like the feed and how much someone may rely on it. Technology can be very beneficial to us or detrimental to us depending on how it is used, but ultimately technology is slowly taking over our world.

Growing up in this generation, I have not only been exposed to the traditional, chalkboard and pen, way of learning but the new modern technology based learning as well. Having experience on both sides of this spectrum has allowed me to decide which technique has proven to be the most beneficial to my peers and myself. Starting my first year of college has opened my eyes to the increasing role of technology in my education, providing the exigence of my argument. Although traditional ways of learning are important and effective, students should be exposed to enough new technical knowledge to be useful in their careers. In the new world we live in, computers and tablets have become more and more integrated into our work. The best way for students to be truly prepared for their careers is if they are taught using the tools that will help them in the future. Technology should continue to be present in a classroom setting because students will learn skills needed in a digital age, students can use the internet to further their research and studies, and lessons are enhanced through individualized learning plans and educational applications.

Technology has taken over most of the world in today’s time. It affects people and also affects our jobs. But in some cases it makes jobs easier and better but it can also eliminate them. So that’s why in today’s time people need to choose wisely about what they want to do for a living. So my job that I have chosen and that I’ve kept for the past 2 years is civil engineering and owning my own construction company.

Technology these days can be as confusing as math! Daily life has changed in many ways over the past hundred years because of advancements in technology. First, the way of how society reads in the modern day has been reinvented from how people used to read a hundred years ago. Second enjoying games with friends is nothing like it used to be when technology was not present. Last, current communication is tremendously more advance than it was in the past when smartphones were not a “thing.” As can be seen, there is no denying that daily life has evolved because of newer technology.

Innovations have given us tools to become better and more efficient, but they have also brought an era of mental decay and insecurity. How can something so important to our development be the cause of misery and confrontation between individuals. Technology has decreased our ability to communicate properly with others, this is due to our inability to differentiate online interactions from real life occurrences. It is important for all of us living in this revolutionary world to asses our relationship with technology.

In the modern era, our society has become accustomed to not paying attention to our surroundings whether it be in class, while walking, or even driving. Most of the time students and even adults are often consumed by technology and do not pay attention to the world right in front of them. In addition, technology has enabled our society to have new sense of multitasking and have become comfortable with doing work without consulting others. This microtheme addresses these issues and requires us to work in a group and to collaborate and discuss ideas to formula patterns and a detailed analysis.

Technology in the purest sense of the word, is the application of knowledge in order to develop or enhance something. From this definition, we can see that the development of technology dates back to ever since Homo-Sapiens were alive. From the creation of fire, to pencil and paper, all these are considered technologies. Although, in recent times there have been debates on whether or not the development of innovations in technology have been impacting us as a culture and as a society. Some argue that not only has technology made our lives better, but it has enhanced it better than what ever could be expected. In contrast to this, some believe that with the use of constant technology, there is a degradation in our sense of interaction and connection. Without a doubt, technology is the advancement of our species, and there is a need to balance unwavering innovation with social obedience and conservatism.

At the beginning of the semester, I wrote that I believed technology is beneficial for our world. I wrote that tech has globalized the world, increased connectivity in many aspects, and made tasks of daily life more efficient. Additionally, I wrote of my biggest concern about technology. More advancements in and more penetration of technology has potential to cause humans to become completely co-dependent on technology for communication and recreation. I still hold on to these concerns today. But due to this course, I have a vaster and deeper understanding of the way technology impacts me personally, my career trajectory, and society at large. Each topic of this course will we impact these areas of my life in some way. But I am especially interested in how the following topics will shape me, my career, and society: pornography, poverty, social media, surveillance, reality, and diversity & representation.

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

Technology is an ever expanding forefront that continues to push the limits of mankind 's capability. As humanity has grown, we have continued to expand technologies at the forefront of our needs. With every development we create, more issues are discovered. Developing communities may be the biggest challenge we face today, it is said that every day a city the size of Seattle is created. The population of these cities are faced with challenges that are far different and much more diverse than yours or mine. We live in cities have been laid out for decades, with an infrastructure for us to adopt and adapt. These developing cities often lack infrastructure which leaves the population to solve their own problems with ingenuity.

We live in a society that is completely obsessed with the invention of technology, which has both a negative or positive effect on our lives. Technology has taken over the twenty first century, showing us how powerful it actually can be. Coming in contact with the invention of technology every day, it is hard not to excel in how to operate it. Once we have accomplished how to properly perform the duties on certain technology, we may become more addicted to it although most of us have self-control. No matter the invention, there will always be an opposing side of the creation. Not learning how to adapt to being accustomed to the use of technology is simply not the answer sense most job places require knowledge on different forms of technology. While technology can cause people to become more addicted to being distracted, it can also have a positive impact on our lives if used properly because it can promote a new learning style for schools, and can help health care personnel have a better understanding of how to treat certain conditions; but if used negatively, it can pose too much control causing cyberbullying in teenagers.
