The Power of Technology in Society
The technology which surrounds almost everyone in the modern society,
affects both work and leisure activities. Technology contains information
that many would rather it did not have. ... The technology which is just now beginning to be manipulated and
harnessed is affecting the minds of small children and adolescents in ways
that could be harmful. ...
Technology is one of the principal driving forces of the future; it is
transforming our lives and shaping our future at rates unprecedented in
history, with profound implications which we cant even begin to see or
understand. ... The
impact of technology on these elements can change how safe, healthy and
happy people feel. ... Technology has
improved the way people feed, clothe and shelter themselves. Technology
has also changed other aspects of everyday life, such as health care,
education, job satisfaction, and leisure time activities.
People have used technology since they first chipped stone blades to
improve their hunting. Yet some people call the current age the
"Technological Age" because of societys dependence on technology. For the
first time in human history, almost all the goods and services people use
depend on technology. The products of technology are available to almost
everyone in society. ... Technology is often considered the key to a nations
economic growth. ...
Many economists think that if technology sparks growth in one sector of
the economy in the form of increased productivity, growth will also occur
in other sectors of the economy. ...
Technology may also be used to solve urgent problems. ... Innovations
in technology can allow for more efficient use of limited or scarce
resources. ...
Technology can increase productivity to help countries compete with other
countries in selling goods and services. ...
Society could remain the same for years, some what like the early Middle
Ages in Europe, in which there was little economic change for hundreds of
years. ...
Today, several important new advances in technology are transforming.
These technologies create new products; most of them also change the way
people in society interact. ... Most all of these
other technologies will make significant strides in capability, size,
power requirements, and other design characteristics and the integration
of these other advances should accrue directly to robotics.
Robots are machines which combine computer technology with industrial
machines. ... Our system of transportation greatly affects how we use
energy, develop technology , affect the economy and environment, and shape
our social relationships. ...
In spite of many problems , it is hard to imagine a society without cars. ... The challenge facing the auto
industry is to keep pace with the changing values of society and to
develop the technology to do so.
