The Long Term Development Of Technology

Is further discoveries and technological advancements taking over our lives and the world as we know it? Throughout the years man has created advanced technology to benefit themselves.

As the world enters a new era of technological progression and evolution, the popularity and use of technology for entertainment and more practical uses has skyrocketed. I have been alive long enough to observe some of the changes taking place. Some of these changes include including nearly everyone in high school texting on smartphone, so many people are choosing to talk over the internet rather than in person. We are truly in an age of technology, a sort of future imagined by those before us, where people keep their calendars on their phones and do work on tablets and computers instead of sheets of paper, and can video chat with anyone anywhere around the globe. With all of these huge changes happening to our world, I have truly been drawn

In the first chapter of “Technology: A World History” it discusses the first technologies early humans use of tools beginning with cobbles. As tools developed it changed the lives of these early humans. The ever changing technology helped them create more complex tools for hunting, gathering food, protection, erecting shelters, preparing meat for cooking and eating. It allowed them to move around to colder climates. When they went from foraging to farming and eventually settle into one place, which led to the creation of larger more complex tool, textiles replacing animal skin by developing looms that could take fibers that was used to make cloth. Technology although simple in our standards continued to rapidly evolve.

According to Moore’s Law, computer processing speed doubles exponentially every single year. Being 32 times faster than the current speed after five years, and 1024 times faster than the current speed after 10 years. Exponential growth is a phenomenon both observed in nature, as well as society as a whole. It comes as little surprise that the progression of technology has been exponential as well.

Technology has progressed in so many ways over the past decades. As technology has progressed over the years our interactions and our human connection with one another has decreased drastically. We are more on our phones and devices we are missing out on getting to know someone new or just building a connection. As a kid we had phones but we did not rely on as this generation does. If we wanted to get in touch with our friends we would just knock on their door. We were always outsiders and loved to play outside and get to know our neighbors. We interacted all the time and got to know almost everyone in our neighborhood. I miss those days because kids seemed freer and less attached to their phones. I see parents getting kids electronics at such

Technology has improved vastly over the years. Technology makes advances all the time for improve things that we use everyday, the goal is to make life easier. There are advancements being made all the time because “[Science Fiction]... is always the art of the possible never the impossible.” This means that if you can think of something, then you can make it happen. The ideas and advancements that technology allow, are endless.

Now is the best time to be alive. With globalization, opportunity, equal rights, low crime rates, medicine and vaccines, the quality of life is at its peak. For example, the Ebola virus has run rampant in the media, contributing to an exceptional amount of awareness and causing many people to be proactive in trying to fight it. Swiftly engineering a vaccine requires biological chemistry research and technology. Without recent technological development in modern practices, a vaccine would take upwards of ten years, but according to Fox News, a vaccine for Ebola is currently ready for human testing. Societies that have the ability to create this vaccine can then share their discoveries with the entire world through advancements in transportation. Without the global mindset of these more advanced nations and their willingness to share their knowledge, third-world countries would never get this much needed vaccine. The progress of technology continually leads to better and better standards of living for each successive generation.

Over the past few years, the volume of data collected and stored by business and government organizations has exploded. This data are refer to as “big data”, as it is an evolving term that describes any voluminous amount of structured, semi-structured and unstructured data that has the potential to be mined for information. The big data is a by-product of everyday human activities on the web, the record of multiple dimensions of social life: the tracks of our purchases on automated payment system, the record logs of our queries for finding information on search engines; the record of social networking services of our connections to friends, colleagues and collaborators; the record traces of our movements on wireless networks and mobile devices. The societal benefits of big data include; breakthroughs in medicine, data security, and energy use, conversely it contains personal sensitive information, so that the opportunities of discovering knowledge increase with the risks of privacy violation. (Monreale et. al., 2014; Tene and Polonetsky, 2013).

The technology in nineteenth century is referred to the practical arts used to create physical products everything from wagon to steam engine. But in twentieth century the word was expanded to include everything involved in satisfying human material wants. In this we can see the concepts and significance of the technology, how the technology emerged, what is the internal process of technology, and classification of technology. For this term project I would like to talk about the file sharing technology. There are many advantages of the file sharing technology, when compare to the past years it provides many

Technology has had a great impact on society when it comes to medicine. Medical technology has been around since the cave man began using rocks as tools to perform trephining. Since then there has been many new advancements in medicine due to technology. From painless needles to robots used for surgeries technology is around to stay. Painless needles are one way technology is improving society. Needles are always scaring young children and even adults. Now with the new painless needle pediatricians can give vaccinations pain free.

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.

As compare to previous two decades, one of the biggest changes we have in 21st century is the technology. Specifically, the online Social Networking Websites plays an vital role in the development of the technology era. Social Networking Websites are often called as SNSs. SNSs have changed a lot of things, including our lifestyle, thinking and our perspective on number of things. It made our communication easy, but it is hard to control and monitor the Social networking websites. This uncontrolled nature of Social Networking Websites leads to consequences such as cyber bullying, peer-pressure, mental-health issues, privacy issues, which forces us that we should control the data and information shared on SNSs and monitor it’s users’

The world and its people are always changing, always finding new ways to move forward, and always inventing new technologies to make all of our lives easier. This has been true for hundreds of years, with technologies like the printing press and automobiles changing the world into a better place. The problem is that lately, the evolution of technology has drastically increased, and has lead some people to question whether the goods, of our new digital world, justify all the bad that it has brought along. The younger generation, with all their phones and computers, have become very different from the older generations, who prefer real world over the digital kind. Since I am a teenager myself, my instinct tells me to automatically join the digital side because even with all of its faults,modern technology has accomplished more in a decade then anything else before it.

One of the most interesting factors of social transformations in the modern post- industrial society is the widespread influence of modern information technologies on society. There is no precise opinion about positive or negative effects of technologies on the development of society. It mostly depends on the people, who use them, and what purposes they pursue.
