Advantages and Disadvantages of The Way Technology Has Changed The World

Technology has progressively grown and advanced overtime altering the way society functions. As technology has numerous beneficial qualities to offer, it also brings equal amounts of disadvantages. From ways of improving one's lifestyle to even going as far as aiding educational progress. However, technology has become so advanced that they are more precise than humans which is more beneficial for profit but eventually ends up taking the places of ordinary jobs that humans might take longer to do. So, technology has played a big role in our lifestyles today.

IT is the science and activity of using computers and other electronics to store and send information and knowledge. This way of receiving and sending information has greatly impacted our way of education. From the Impacts of Information Technology (IT) By admin M2 IESC, it was stated that IT has made education more effective and productive because of its accessibility and cost. IT has changed the way people are obtaining their education. It allows individuals like students to be able to learn not just at school but also in the comfort of their own home.IT also provides many different programs that allows those students to learn at their own pace and pick up a new curriculum on their own. But with these resources being available without having to leave our homes or engage in any physical interactions with another person raises a concern of our communication skills in our near future. Technology has allowed still us to communicate in different ways through various social media platforms. In the article Technology and Society - impact of technology and Society by Karehka Ramey, she proclaimed that technology has allowed us to communicate better because of technology advancements like television and radios which helped spread ideas that assisted the development of our society. Advancements such as the television has allowed the government to broadcast concerns of the society. This form of communication has been really effective because it educates the people of concerns the country may have on their society, a way of communication that would not have been possible 93 years ago. In fact, the country's representatives might even take advantage of social media platforms such as Twitter or Facebook to reach out to a wide variety of people on social media platforms to gain their support or advertise their campaigns. Even though it may not be improving our physical face-to-face communication with one another technology still allows us to stay connected with everything around us through useful social media sites and through technology like television. Technology has also changed the way the world educates its society by providing us with various ways to independently teach ourselves through many different networks.

Although technology has its positive changes in the world, it also has its vexations. AI (artificial intelligence) has become so advanced that it has been replacing people and removing them from their jobs. Which is efficient but many people are losing not only their jobs but also their money because of it.In the debate Experts debate: will computers Edge people out of an entire careers? By David Kestenbaum, he stated that machines have been replacing and taking the jobs of paid workers. Although this may be beneficial being that machines are more efficient and are faster than a human worker it leaves many people unemployed. People also lose their jobs which is leaving people with little to no income, which could cause them to potentially become homeless; without food, or even might just put them in poverty. An example of AI replacing humans would be the check-in kiosks at airports. Not only does technology take a lot of jobs that would normally be operated by human workers, it is also producing a lot of pollution in our atmosphere. In the article that was previously mentioned, written by Karehka Ramey she claimed that the increased demand for new and advanced technology has caused the manufacturing and processing of factories to rise. Consequently, as these technologies are being made the factories are emitting many harmful gases into the atmosphere. These harmful gases lead to one of the biggest issues that we are currently suffering from:global warming. Yet, there's always new technology equipment that is being produced every day, so the more technology leads to more factories that are being produced. On the other hand, there are some companies that go green and produce technology to help eliminate air pollution. So in many ways technology has affected the world in negative ways by depriving people of their paying jobs and causing an increase in air pollution that leads to global warming. So technology still has its many disadvantages along with it advantages.

Technology has changed the world in both positive and negative ways. It has allowed us to have easy access to multiple educational advantages. Allowing people to educate themselves in the comfort of their own home. On the contrary, it creates great devastation to the earth's atmosphere by letting off harmful gas emissions. In conclusion, technology has both its advantages and disadvantages of changing the world around us. But no matter what it is technology is always growing and advancing so embrace your potential to grow along with it because not only is it our present but also our future.
