The Importance Of Technology Over Time

How has technology and science changed over time? Over the years technology has advanced and scientist have gotten more accurate and better studies of science and how it has improved. We have found more species over the past three centuries that made scientist want to study more about species and science.

Technology has changed a lot over the past few years. People have changed because of how much technology has evolved. Technology has changed over time because humans get smarter over time, people mess around with things to see if they work or not, and people keep trying on their projects even if they fail because eventually they will figure it out.

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

Technology and healthcare are two of the most developmental topics in the twenty-first century. Both will continue to change each other for the better to help make humans potentially live forever. Others believe that technology is inevitably changing how our healthcare is practiced, and that technology could be improving our lives to help us live forever. Nevertheless, there are others who feel that healthcare should stray from the newest technology, because it is not beneficial for our society.

Over time our world has changed. New technology has brought our daily lifestyle to a whole new level. Reading, playing games, and communicating with others has really evolved over the past hundred years.

Technology has changed a long way and still is progressing, technology was created before I was even born. Technology started with things like portable music players, radios, and phones. Phones have evolved from wires, antennas, flipping, and touchscreens. I think phones have evolved far from where it began.

Since this sudden commonplace use of technology in the early 2000’s, things have continued to progress. The use of technology has still continued to grow around the world. In the UK alone over 3 billion texts are sent a week (Thomas). This amount does not include the rest of the world, but it does prove to be an interesting observation of the growth in text messaging over time. With these numbers, it has also been observed that the average person sends over 50 texts a week (Thomas). Studies are showing that most people are going out into public and sitting on their phones more than socializing with those around them (Wygant). These observations clearly show how dramatically things have changed since the time of the first text message, to now.

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.

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, an indispensable necessity to most people’s life just as air, food and water did. The amount of its advantages, which change our life into a better one, is enough to prove its own value. Technology penetration has been grown fast than a few decades back. It has become one of the commodities in our lives, however it can as well be an invasion on personal space (John Thackara, 2006: 3).

Technology is continually growing and changing and there are many advancements seen today that could never have been dreamed of years ago. And while the goal and hope of technology is that it will be used to improve people’s lives and make the world more efficient, is the continual advancing of technology in the best interest of today’s society? The rapid advancement of technology intent on assisting society may consequently be producing the opposite effect and causing today’s generations to be unable to function without it.

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.

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.

There comes a time where schools did not have the luxury to access computers and other electronic devices. Due to the advancements in technology, society today have become more dependent on them such that those who use them in their everyday lives have become increasingly complacent. In this case, students are relying too much on the internet to do their schoolwork. Anything can be found in the internet, causing students to easily find the answer to their homework problem as opposed to figuring it out themselves. Students in today’s society have become too lax and complacent when it comes to the utilization of external resources such that it enables them to not think for themselves and rather obtain their answers instead of learning how to get to the answer. The heavy reliance on technology poses a threat to developing minds of the millennials, disabling them from thinking for themselves.

What does technology mean to you? I believe that technology is a tool that should be integrated into our society to cultivate the future, it has become such an integral part of our community today that living without it creates a feeling of loneliness. According to Mark McKinnon, “Technology and Social Media have brought power back to people,” taking away the emptiness. Nowadays, technology has exceeded expectations of people, such as a simple VR machine can take you to parts of the world without even visiting, this proves that future is bright. I am one of the many students who did not get an early exposure to technology, and I regret that every day. As elders say that a child can learn however many things he wants until seven years of age because his mind is an information collector. We have to give students an early exposure to a tool that has made our world more convenient than ever before. Many experts have stated that students using different technological tools in their education are much more independent and profound in their skills. The technical means have not only made students knowledgeable, but also create a network with new people, and stay healthy while at it. There will always be a debate over how far can we stretch technology that it does not harm the future generations of thinkers, students, but the truth is that technology has made students critical thinkers, confident communicators, and healthier.
