 Introduction

The research topic is about the advancement of new technology that has been taking place since the beginning of

human history. From the invention of items like the spear and knifes made out of rocks and sticks to aid in the capturing

and killing of animals for food, to items like the first printing press and the computer. The advancement in technology has

been exceptionally fast in the 20th and 21st century. With electronic technology and machines being produced and

improved all the time, it was very likely that along with the positive aspects of these new advancements, people would

also consider the negative aspects and look to criticize new technology (Colette Parker, 2015). We choose this topic

because it talks about one of the common issues of our society nowadays that is important because it could help people

especially the grade-11 students who are the one’s that commonly engaged with this topic.

Our personal life is highly dependent on the technology that people have developed. The technology has advanced with

years and it has changed the way we purchase products, the way we travel, the way we learn and so many changes have

been brought about by these continues technological advancements. As people’s demands and life style change, the

demand for advancing the type of technology we use is high. Almost everything we use has been innovated to better

standards, a good example is the “Mobile Phone”, the type if mobile phones we had in 1995 are no longer on demand in

this century, the demands of mobile phone users have changed greatly, and this has resulted in the advancement of

mobile phone technologies (Karehka Ramey, 2012).

 The effects of technological advancement are both positive and negative. Positively,
technology advancement has simplified the way we do things, it saves time, it increases on
production, it simplifies communication, it has improved health care and it has also
improved our educational environment. Negatively, technology advancement has made
human so lazy, technology users are so dependent on new advance tech tools, this laziness
has resulted into less innovation, it has increased on health risks because technology users
exercises less, it has affected the environment because of the increase pollution which has
resulted into global warming. When it comes to education, students are more dependent on
Calculators and computers to solve simple equations; in this case they cannot train their
brains to solve a simple task which makes them lame in class (Karehka Ramey,2012).
