We live in the age of technology.

We commute by automobiles, airplanes and communicate by emails and mobile devices.

The media and the Internet provide us the latest information and discovery from all over the world every second .

Movies, musicals, sports, live shows, animations, filled with hi-tech special effects entertain us.

Air conditioners and room heaters keep our life comfortable despite climatic inconveniences. The list goes on.

Humans have been able to leave the to other planets.

Technology has transformed almost every aspect of our lives.

Of course, a few of us may have concerns about the pollution and environmental problems that technology has led to.

But overall most people feel that technology has benefited us immensely.

Despite the tremendous foredeals of technology, one thing is still certain. It's the doom of mankind.

Technology advances show people a more efficient way to do things, and these processes get results.

For example, education has been greatly advanced by the technological advances of computers.

Students are able to learn on a global scale without ever leaving their classrooms.

Agricultural processes that once required dozens upon dozens of human workers can now be automated, thanks to advances in technology, which means cost-efficiency for farmers.

Medical discoveries occur at a much more rapid rate, thanks to machines and computers that aid in the research process and allow for more intense educational research into medical matters.



The more advanced society becomes technologically, the more people begin to depend on computers and other forms of technology for everyday existence.

This means that when a machine breaks or a computer crashes, humans become almost disabled until the problem is resolved.

This kind of dependency on technology puts people at a distinct disadvantage, because they become less self-reliant.
