The Importance Of Technology

The third part to the human dilemma is that all nonhuman species have evolved to survive their physical habitats, and the human species originally evolved to do this as well. However, human beings have altered the world more in the last ten thousand years, than the ancestors did in the first four million years. We have changed the environment to fit our needs, instead of changing our needs to fit the environment. Most importantly, humans have built entirely new environments, such as farms, villages, cities and towns. The cycling pattern of human expansion and creations has changed the human race from small groups of hunters and gatherers, into a very complex civilization.

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

It seems odd to me to write a paper about the importance of technology in education. While there may still be skeptics within the field of education, I would imagine that most people would agree that a technology rich environment enhances a child's education at least to some degree. Even teachers who are reluctant to infuse technology into their lesson plans would have to see the merit of students using technology consistently in classrooms. Most of the recent research articles I've read on technology and classroom learning conclude not only that there is an increase in student achievement in technology rich classroom environments, but also an increase in student

Canadian lives has changed dramatically over the course of time, thanks to technology. Some people may ask themselves if this is for the better. Are the benefits worth the costs? Have we become too lazy? These questions travel throughout our heads and we try to weigh the value of technology. Which one out weights the other? In my opinion I believe technology is good. Technology has improved medical care by improving life expectancy, making health care more accessible. There is no more waiting for a walk-in clinic. Information is sent quickly through the web. Well research is now more efficient and accurate. Technology has made it easier to communicate, process and find information on a drop of a dime. People use social media such as Facebook and Twitter to communicate. As well as their cell phones to text call take picture well they are on the go or on a trip. Not only can cell phones keep you connected they can also keep you entertained with game apps or videos. Technology also helps with crime investigations. Now with forensic science technology helps with crime scene investigations trying to figure out what actual happened. You can trace shattered glass. Find out which DNA matches, or if these fingerprints are old or new. Take 3-D pictures so you can see all the important detail a regular picture would miss. Technology also has helped improve education. Students and teachers both use technology either to learn or teach. Teacher like to use simulations to help demonstrate

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.

If asked to completely unplug from every means of technology in daily life, how many would be able to do it? How many could simply read a book instead of watch television or a movie? How many could perform their jobs without a computer? How many could walk to work instead of driving a car? But maybe more than anything else, how many could go without their phones? Even for one day. As a society, it would be impossible to imagine a world without technology. It has become such a massive part of everyday life for a majority of people. Whether it is used for work, entertainment, social networking, or simply killing time, technology has continued to change, for better or worse, how things are accomplished.

Over time the viewpoints regarding technology and the importance of it changes depending on the different situations of the time. The three texts Feed by M.T Anderson, The Time Machine by H.G Wells, and As We May Think by Vannevar Bush are influenced by the context of their respective times when they discuss technology. In the novel Feed, the use of a machine that gives access to the internet and retrieves information for the user which is implanted in a person, a feed, being used to illustrate a problem with technology causing complacency. The Time Machine follows a similar negative view of technology being a cause for the complacency of society because of the reliance on said technology. As We May Think is a more forward thinking article pushing for the continual advancement of technology that supports society through an idea referencing to the computer and the internet we have today.

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.

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.

There has been a tremendous amount of technological advancements in recent decades, causing society to become heavily reliant on technology. These days, almost everyone has access to phones, computers, and the internet. These devices are helpful in many ways, but they have also unfortunately become a sort of extension to the human body. Sure, they allow people to quickly communicate with those far away from them, but what about relationships with the ones in the so-called real world? In “Can You Hear Me Now?” M.I.T. professor and award-winning author Sherry Turkle discusses how technology is damaging peoples' relationships, as well as their ability to communicate. By using technology to hide behind screens, give up privacy for validation, and divide attention between multiple people, relationships and communication skills are, in fact, harmed by the extensive use of 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.

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.

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.

“I fear that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots,” spoken by Albert Einstein, forces humans to sit back and think about where we are today. I admit that Einstein’s fear has come true. Where humans are with personal intelligence, it is not equal to the advancement with technology. Technology is changing the way people think and learn. In the wake of new technology, kids are not applying themselves to use their imagination, intelligence, and their critical thinking skills.
