Under the Influence of Technology / By: Rand Maddah

       Nowadays, technology is one of the basics of life. Hence, it is no wonder that technology has major effects on humans’ way of living. To begin with, in the 21th century's technical revolution, the world’s industry became as fast as light. Due to the ongoing development of new technologies, many manufacturing companies such as Apple, Samsung, and Nasa are helping to meet consumers demands fast. The manufacturing companies utilize advanced machines to accelerate their productions; therefore, the economy is impacted positively. Moreover, technology has significant effects on education. For instance, it is no longer impossible for people who live in developing countries to use distance learning to exchange knowledge, learn from experts globally, and achieve international degrees from prestigious universities as a result of online technologies. In addition, implementing computer games in education allows teachers to create an enjoyable and memorable learning environment for their students. Finally, people's time can be affected greatly by technology.

For example, people can rely on Google maps when they want to go to a place with unknown location to save their time and avoid being lost. Furthermore, the time people spend searching for information is decreased due to the use of the Internet. To conclude, one day technology will be the solution for all problems if experts spent enough time, energy, and knowledge to envision solutions for economical, educational, and time-consumption problems. However, people should know how to use technology wisely to benefit from it and prevent possible damages that could happen intellectually or physically.
