Question

Essay on technology in 250 words

Answer 1

vThe 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. It influences minds in good and bad ways, and it allows people to share information which they would otherwise not be able to attain. Even if a person does not own a computer or have credit cards, there is information on a computer somewhere about everyone. 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. It is affecting our immediate future. It also gives another form of communication and exchange of information which was not available before, information that is both good and bad.

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 can't even begin to see or understand. Many different elements affect how satisfied we are with our lives. The impact of technology on these elements can change how safe, healthy and happy people feel. Throughout history, people have looked for better ways to meet their needs and to satisfy their expectations. 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 society's dependence on technology. For the first time in human history, almost all the goods and services people use depend on technology.

Answer 2

                         Technology

Technology has proved both boon and bane for man. If it has made his life comfortable and convenient, it has also made him dependent and disease prone.  

There are many facets of technology. Technology has many benefits as well as disadvantages. Technology is helpful to us in many ways. If we look at productivity from industrial and manufacturing point of view, technology has enhanced the productivity immensely. For example, in auto-industry, heavy vehicles and machinery manufacturing, electronics goods manufacturing, technology has done miracles. Companies produce goods faster and more efficiently. Similarly in all other fields such as defense, education, medicines, agriculture, mining, fishing, infrastructure building, IT sector, and many more technology has enhanced productivity.

Technology has the potential to solve all of man’s problems and challenges provided it is put to right use. But this potential is not being explored. Man is busy misusing technology. For example, our planet earth has so much of Uranium, Thorium, Plutonium, etc. that if used optimally, abundant power can be generated for all the people living in all the countries of the planet. The sad thing is man’s focus is on creating deadly nuclear weapons out of these wonderful resources given to him by beneficent Nature.  

All the problems pertaining to pollution, environmental degradation, etc. can be solved using technology. All the cities of the world can be converted into smart cities using technology; all the vehicles that emit toxic gases can be converted into zero emission vehicles using technology; all the sewage, garbage, effluents, toxic fumes coming out of chimneys can be turned into non-polluting substances using technology. However this is being done only in the most advanced countries of the world.
