WHAT ARE THE EXAMPLES OF MODERN DAY TECHNOLOGY?

  • Smart watches: A couple of years ago, who would have imagined that there would be a creation where people can browse the internet, answer calls, send messages and more, all through the comfort of your very portable watch.
    It is such an amazing creation, and
    simply shows the advancement of the world.

Technology has affected the world in so many ways and one of these ways include communication.

We live in a world where communication is backed up with the power of social media such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and many more. You can also FaceTime people who are in different parts of the world which means you see each other, on the phone. Also applications such as zoom which has impacted the world positively especially during lockdown up till now, encouraging online communication and video conferences.
it can also have negative effects because one can get so addicted to it and this can reduce your productivity.

Technology has also affected the world through learning, With the Invention of the Internet, learning is made easier because it exposes you to a lots of resources online which can aid learning, it also takes stress off teachers and makes learning fun for certain students who enjoy using the computers and watching videos in order to learn.
Websites like Kahoot makes learning more interesting because it connects everybody in the classroom together for a quiz and this can be very helpful.

Technology has also helped the world in keeping records, it helps in Collating records quicker, easier and more accurate.
This is very vital because they’re certain records such as health records and industrial records and it’s important because if care is not taken, and there’s a little bit of inaccuracy, it can lead to a lot of negative outcomes

Technology has its negatives as well as positives and such include the fact that it can be a source of distraction to you.
This can affect people by making them too isolated, which can lead to being too naive, and loosing your social skills and even depression, which i also talked about on my post about personal development. These are mental situations, which can lead to physical situations, such as insomnia, neck and back pain, addiction, eyestrain etc.

Technology has also encouraged some bad situations and makes it easier for people to hurt other people.
Such include:

  • Hacking
  • Cyber bulling
  • facial scanning(for bad purposes)
  • threats
  • imitation or spread of false information

These are some of the ways technology have negatively impacted society, and so we can see that most things in the world, have both good and bad sides.
But overall, i believe because of how tech has been affecting the world for a long time, it has done more good than bad.
And i feel that with more time, and in the near future, it can only get better and the world will only keep growing.

Thank you for your time and see you soon!
