It’s not difficult to recognize just how much of the technology we
use on a daily basis — from computers, cell phones, laptops, tablets and
TVs to refrigerators and convection ovens that cook food evenly. Here
are six ways technology impacts your daily life.
1: Improved Communication
The continuous advances in technology have led to the appearance of
numerous new methods of electronic communication, such as social
networking websites, emails, voicemails, and video conferences. These
advanced communication tech tools have helped us to eliminate time and
distance as obstacles to effective communication. This is beneficial not
only to our personal relationships, but also to education and business.
Technology has improved cultural education by giving children the
opportunity to communicate with other children from different countries
and learn about different cultures.
Even though technology is beneficial to communication and allows
people to stay in touch, you need to find a balance between the cyber
world and real world. These technological advancements might be
incredible and important in today’s society, but you must be careful to
not lose sight of the people who are physically around you. While
communicating via social media might be fun and more convenient, it is
also harmful to our social skills. Spending quality time with your
friends and family to create memorable experiences is especially
important for happiness.
2: Improved Home Entertainment
Not that long ago, our entertainment experiences used to live in the
moment they happened, exist in our memories and find their way in
old-fashioned photographs on wall. Today, that has all changed due to
the rapid growth of the Internet, mobile connectivity, and social
networks.
One of the biggest changes, for example, was the switch from
videotapes to CDs/DVDs. This enabled manufacturers to put more data onto
the medium. This meant that there were no risks of the tape coming out
of the player and getting damaged that easily, and due to the small size
of the DVDs, it also meant that a lot more could be stored in the same
amount of space.
Another huge technological advance was the introduction of LCD TV.
Compared to today’s LCD TVs, the previous television screens were
inefficient, with lower definition and poor quality. Today we can not
only enjoy improved home entertainment, but different types of home
entertainment too: from smart TVs to Xbox units.
3: Improved Housing and Lifestyle
Housing and lifestyle have also been impacted by the modern
technology. The majority of the items that you have in your home today
are automated, which makes your life much easier, organized and safer.
Thanks in particular to the advanced technological solutions such
automated door locks, security cameras and lighting control, our homes
are now more secure than ever. Also, thanks to the Internet, we have an
easy access to all sorts of information, news, and you’re able to shop
online any time of the day or night from the comfort of your own home.
4: Changed Health Industry
There’s no doubt that technology is the driving force behind the
huge improvements in healthcare.
The majority of the hospitals today have implemented modern technology
in hospitals and surgical rooms, which has significantly reduced the
mistakes made by doctors. The increased accessibility of treatment is
also one of the most amazing ways that technology has changed health
care. Besides the technological advancements in hospitals, there are
also many health phone and desktop apps that allow you to easily monitor
your weight, heart rate, and other health properties at any time of the
day. Needless to say, the Internet is our main source of medical
information.
A n increasing number of people are now using the Internet to
diagnose themselves by looking for advice from people on the Internet
who have experienced the same symptoms. There are also many suggested
treatments and remedies on the web, as well as alternative solutions.
Technology has also enabled doctors to use text messages, videos, and
e-mails to consult colleagues from all over the world, which is
especially beneficial to patients and doctors that live in rural and
under-developed areas.
5: Convenience in Education
Technology has impacted every aspect of our lives today, and
education is no exception. Technology has changed education in so many
ways. First, technology has expanded the access to education and there
are huge amounts of information (books, images, videos, audio) that are
available through the Internet and that will enable you to
empower yourself with knowledge. In addition, online courses are on the rise and most of them are free.
Modern technology has made it simple for students to learn from any
place in the world through online education. Also, nowadays students use
modern technology in classrooms in order to learn better. For example,
students can use iPads to share visual lessons, presentations, and
examples with their peers. This has made learning much more convenient
and more fun, but most importantly – more effective.
6: Convenience of Traveling
Modern transportation technology has made it easier for individuals
to travel long distances. Since transport is an important part of our
lives, technology has been regularly working on making it more efficient
and quicker. The first steamship was built in the 1770s, the first
steam-powered train was built in 1798, and the modern car was created in
1886, while the first powered, controlled flight is believed to have
taken place in 1903.
Today, we just cannot imagine life without well-developed means of
transport like cars, trains, buses, and airplanes which have become a
basic need. Over the last decade, the automobile industry is
experiencing a technological revolution as the electrical vehicles are
taking the world by storm
