Technology Today

There are millions of possible answers I think if I were to enumerate the reasons why we use technology. For me, the general answers for these are the following:

  • Advances in the field of education (to where education nowadays is not only taught in school, it could now also be done through the use of internet)

  • Benefits of medical technologies ( many people live longer so as medicines and high medical technologies make peoples' lives healthier)

  • Travel or explore the world (airplanes, ships etc. tend people to see the different side of the world)

  • In communication ( people can easily communicate/interact with their loved ones as cellphones, computers etc. exist)

  • Act as guide (physically impaired person finds light as technology leads the way whenever they cannot see it literally, communicate whenever they cannot talk, listen whenever they cannot hear etc.)

  • Living a peaceful life ( armies, police, security guard etc. fought against bad people with their gadgets to protect innocents or civilians from any harm or danger)

There are still a lot of things behind the use of technology but I just enumerated ones that technology has a big contribution of.

The points that have influenced us are when times people are becoming dependent to technology to which it resulted from being lazy and lack of self discipline of many people though there are some other aspect that technology is really beneficial to us. What I am trying to say is through acts of self control and discipline ones must instill so technology may not even abuse our own self .

I think the factors involve in technology change are peoples' dissatisfaction and keeping things as perfect as possible or in other words making complicated things easier.
