Technology ticks with the clock of time, but has its limitations as well
A
new idea gives rise to innovation and a new discovery happens. Technology is
always a new idea or a new thought that has given many benefits to human life. It
has greeted the modern man with many things that make this life beautiful to
stay. In the olden days, people used the tools for the process of discovery and
evolution. Technology deals with the knowledge and utilization of the tools
that helps to resolve problems and make life easier and better.
Higher
technology includes the computer science, internet,
as well as the telephone that is used in our everyday life. The development in
the telecommunication network and the advent of the Internet has bridged the
gap between different people staying in different parts of the world. There is a
constant evolution of technology and often technology leads to disaster by the
creation of deadly weapons used in the war.
Technology
affects the different parts of the society. The easy access to technology has
made life very convenient as it serves the day-to-day requirements of man’s
life. The development of technology has many drawbacks, also including the
pollution, depletion of the natural resources and lack of patience. It is true
that the nature of technology has changed from time to time and there is more
research and innovation going on in this field. Yet, we should note the
disadvantages of using technology as well.
The
technology has affected the society in the development of advanced economies
and made life more convenient. In addition to the use and application of
technology, there are disadvantages as well. People enjoy the merits of
technology, but there are many hidden disadvantages behind the curtain. The
impact of using technology has many side effects in our daily life that we
overlook. Health hazards also go side by side as an impact on the modern
technology.

The drawbacks of Technology is not visible to all
People
love to use technology as it has shown a great revolution from the dawn of the
civilization. Many new inventions came in the field of technology. In addition
to the advantages, the technology has many disadvantages. The traditional work
force is reduced, creating a problem of unemployment. There is hardly any business policy to retain the traditional workers
and the number of employees has reduced with the advent of new technology.
The
introduction of the computer has many benefits, but it has created a huge
problem in the job market. Previously, a group of people used to do the work.
Now one single computer does the same work. This has reduced the number of
employees in the job sector.
Unemployment
is a major problem in underdeveloped and developing countries. Unemployment
gives rise to poverty that leads to starvation. People who are losing their
employment find it difficult to get a new job at the time of retirement. They
also find it difficult to cope up with the modern technology and handle the
situation. This is major problem related to the advent of technology.
The
cell phones and mobiles have connected the world. The new generation is busy
with these innovations and they hardly have time to spend with their grandparents
of the family. The generation gap is also a major problem that is observed in
the society. Man has become impatient and easily loses his patience if he does
not get response to a phone call. The mental tenacity of the modern men has
reduced and people are losing the peace of their mind day by day.
The
rate of change of the technology is also very high. People are not able to
grasp the rate and that creates a problem. Technology is changing at a faster
rate and many people find it difficult to adjust accordingly. There are many
advantages of the modern technology, yet people suffer from the disadvantages
and never realize the same. Only intellectuals understand the pros and cons of
using technology in this modern life.

The growth of technology is not restricted to one single phase.
There have been many changes around
us due to technology. It has given many valuable gifts to the world. Technology
has greeted the modern civilization with the internet and the smart phone. It
has played a vital role to develop the human civilization and give shape to
human thoughts.
Technology has created a future shock
to the modern generation. Many people find it difficult to cope up with the
technology. Technology is changing from time to time and it is never static. The
induction of new technology often creates problems for the people as they find
it very difficult to learn. The rate of change of technology is too high and
people often are stuck into it. The new technology comes to them, but they are
not well aware of the older one. One simple example is that there are many
people, who cannot handle the 3 G phones, yet the concept of 4G of Airtel has
been already in the market.
Technology is not restricted to any
particular phase. Technology has emerged long back and the change of phase is
inevitable. People used to harvest food by means of stone tools in the Nomadic Age
(0-1650). The Agrarian phase (1650-1900) included the agricultural activities like
plowing, harvesting, and the use of tractors in the agricultural field. The
third phase was the Industrial Age (1900-1960). It was concerned to prepare material goods along with the machine
tools and steam engines.
The service phase (1960-1975), was the fourth phase. It dealt with
the growth and development of the computer. The Information phase (1975-2000), was the fifth phase. It
dealt with the intellectual development of the tools of thinking as well as
design. The last phase was known as the Semantic phase. This phase mainly
focuses on internet, networking as well as social media across the globe.
Business technology deals with all the information
related to the business that includes the application of science, data, engineering. The main
intention behind this is to achieve economic as well as social goals. Technology
has grown up by being influenced by different factors. The interest of the
government is one such reason, which boosted the growth of technology. The
Government started the internet in the year 1960 and invested in science, energy,
bio-medical research as well as in safety and security. The role of the venture
capitalists also fuelled the process of technological growth.
Proper investment in business has
led to the growth of technology as well. The investors have given financial
support to the research and development wing for achieving success in the end.
The combined effort of the government, business, as well as private investment
has given birth to the growth of technology.
