INTRODUCTION

Technology and SocietyTechnology affects our society significantly. It has become an integral part in
our life by bringing so much benefits to us. Technology improves the efficiency in education,
medicine, transportation, entertainment and more. When mentioning of how technology impacts
our society, people will think of its positive influence. However, according to Newtons third law of
motion, For every action, there is an opposite reaction. Indeed, technology is beneficial to us,
however at the same time it brings negative consequences. Although the rise of new technology has
improved our daily lives by bringing many conveniences, it increases the rate of obesity and the
isolation in our society.Technology makes people become more isolated. It significantly impacts our
social interaction. One might think that social network brings people together. For example, you can
easily find your long lost friends on a social network such as Facebook or Twitter. However,
technology is also ruining our face to face communication. In Alone together, Sherry Turkle
determines how social network and texting culture has changed communication between an
individual and hisher family, friends. People today are more connected to one another than ever
before in human history, thanks to Internet-based social networking sites and text messaging. But
theyre also more lonely and distant from one another in their unplugged lives (Turkle). The picture of
people holding their phone and texting is not hard to find in public. You can easily see a group of
friends go to a restaurant and all of them spend more time playing with their phones than having
conversation with their friends. Briefly, technology seems to connect people together but it actually
disconnects people.As a matter of fact, technology does not only make people lack communication,
it also makes people lack physical activity. As a consequence, the rate of obesity increases. Many
studies have determined the relationship between the adoption of new technologies and negative
health outcomes such as obesity, heartv

The twenty-first century will be remembered for the fast-paced technology development. A lot of
technology advancement took place in this century. Today, technology is virtually in all sectors. It is
an important part of life. Technology advancement has had a lot of impact on the quality of life. Life
has been made better and simpler. However, it has its adverse effects. There are ways through which
technology affects life in a negative manner. One of the main reasons that contributed to the
significant technology development experienced in this century is the competition between the
different world super powers. Especially after the world wars, nations invested a lot in technology
advancement. This was because many anticipated another war and all countries were working
towards preparedness in the event of war. This led to a lot of technological innovations and
inventions.

To make the education system better, there were some major instruments in the twenty-first-
century technology that were created to help students. The different tools have been created with
different intentions. They help students with different aspects of education like research. Most
importantly, some of these tools are used to identify and nature students talents. Students with
viable invention ideas are helped to develop these ideas. The tools also help in brainstorming
students so as to keep their minds fixed on solving problems. These tools are run in a parallel
program with the curriculum so as to create all-round students. The tools also used in
communication and creating social networks. They help students to communicate effectively and
improve their presentation skills. It also helps achieve critical and creative thinking.
There has been a significant advancement in the field of technology and science over past few
decades. These advancement made it possible for human being to walk on moon. Although, these
development offers many benefits, some people argue that technology will bring destruction upon
earth. This essay will analyse the merits and demerits of technology before a reasonable conclusion
can be drawn

in the current time people can't imagine their life without technology. Surrounding us various
technologies are helping people to live their life with more luxury. The technology sector has
changed and developed many products. The technology is providing many advantages but also it
has some disadvantages. Here we will discuss about both.

Advantages
There are several advantages of technology like
Easier life - With technological machine people are getting help in every sector. Cars and bikes are
helping people to reach anywhere quickly. Airplane and superfast trains have been reduced
distance between cities and countries. Computer and internet are providing information in
simplest way also it has changed way of communication. Now people are doing video conferencing
and chatting to communicate with their friends and family used communication technology.

Lesser Mistakes - Machines are helping people to make lesser mistakes. Robots or machines are
working accurately and you just need to program them with proper information. Like in production
of any automotive most of manufacturing companies are using automatic machines which follow
instruction of computer or that person who is operating the machine. And all work gets done
perfectly.

Save Time - Technologies are saving our time, for an example you can flew anywhere in the world
in lesser time. With computer you can do any work in lesser time and also it help to enhance
quality and provide suggestions.

Machines are helping people in kitchen too - like Oven and these are also saving time.
Disadvantages
Every one knows that technology is very helpful but it has some disadvantages too. Because many
companies have adopted automatic machines so that they can improve their production with
accuracy. As a result many people lost their job.

Similarly house maids are loosing their job because robotic machines are doing their job. Owner
need to pay one time only while maid get paid for every month.

However machines and robots look inexpensive and good to use but, when any technical problem
occurs in machine or robot, it took much time to fix it and also it can be expensive.

As we found that in technology sector, there are many advantages and disadvantages, even then
people can't imagine their life without technology including me.
When we look back at (to) the history of human being in/during the last (recent)
200 years, we will be surpriseed (ing) what a huge/amazing change modern
technology has brought us. Trains and planes enable us to travel to everywhere
we want. Internet and televisions/mobile phopes help communicate news to
everyone. New technologies provide us a new standard of living, and I state that
they are creating a single world culture.

Modern technology has shortened the distance between cultures, and made the
world smaller. People can travel or migrate from one place to another very
quickly. They see how people in other zones dress, speak and behave. The more
exposure to other traditions and customs they have/do, the more likely they
adopt (to) those. As a result, their own traditions and customs are replaced
comprehessively/by a massive one.

Another development of (reason for) the impact of modern technology is on

creating a similar world (is) that makes it possible for cultures to communicate
with each other. When watching TV programs, searching web and chatting
through the Internet, people learn about foreign cultures and try to make/adopt
some of those as their own. The exchange of knowledge has had a great impact
on their lives. The caf from Brazil, the scotch from Scotland, the cigars from
Cuba, the wine from France, the American music, that appear through different
medias (and) become well-known in many parts of the world, are good examples
of how modern technology influences peoples life and also creates a single world
culture which according to McLuhan functions like a global village..

With the rapid development of modern technology, people learn and come to
appreciate foreign cultures. They recognize the value of variety. Therefore, in the
near future, there will be many similarities in different countrys cultures.
Traditional cultures around the world may be more willing to join our call for a
single world in the making (one).
