Technology
has impacted humans and become a significant aspect of life in the 21st
century. Since technologies feeds itself, computer, and software are constantly
doing task faster and better than ever before, machines are now replacing
humans and taking over jobs that employees used to do. In fact, we can’t live
without technology, and it has facilitated in our lives so much that were
getting dependent on technology with communication, and transportation. We also
benefit from technology in various job fields such as, discoveries of new medicine,
education, and our economy (local and globally) to double their production.
However, not all technology has been used for good purposes; the development of
weapons of mass destructive and nuclear weapons has progressed throughout
history.
In many ways I think that technology has weakened our society. I wonder if Americans have the stamina and will power to resist the cycle of bad luck, terrorism, wars, plagues, etc. that have befallen humans since the beginning of time. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteMark, almost all technology in the United States started with a military purpose. The microwave oven started out as a microwave radio for the military (caused corn to pop while in use); the facsimile (fax) machine was developed to send maps to troops in the field; GPS was an upgrade to the fax machine; Teflon was for space ships; Kevlar was an upgrade to the flak jacket and the internet was a “Cold War” invention to communicate with troop even if the Pentagon was bombed.
ReplyDeleteIt seems as if all our best and brightest are employed by the government and not the private sector. No wonder we are falling behind to Asian countries.
