LIVING WITHOUT technology? Sounds difficult.
Technology is part of our everyday life; practically everything we do from the most simple of things requires technology. Electronic devices are everywhere; they have now become an essential part of our human necessities. Everything is made up of technology: clothes, food, medicines, etc.
On the other hand the technology is the basic of the culture nowadays, with the smartphones and the computers we now have an easy way to communicate entertainment and get informed. Just imagine not having your cell phone near your bed, early in the morning to be used as an alarm clock and wake you up; or getting in touch with your love ones or friends, even for a short while would be a hard trial as we have got used to it so much.
Obviously technology has “facilitated” us to perform some actions as for example, a student ‘s assignment or research works, now everything is much easier to do and find with the help of cellphones or computers simply if one wants to look for either a definition, an article, or a book. Now only enter the computer finder or phone, type in search engine what you want to study or read, and go.
Teachers nowadays, also find ways to adept oneself to meet the demands of 21st teaching and learning. They propel themselves the knowledge of using the ICT in classroom teaching.
Nowadays, most of the governmental systems’ information is stored on computers; multiple transactions are made day by day using computers. In industry however, the advent of machines replaces the need for human and material interactions.
Sad thing is that, certain part of technology is turning people into useless beings. As time goes on, we are more likely to stop doing the things we used to do because technological advances are supplying human with gadgets, improved to be better at tasks than humans are used to accomplish.
