To design our lifestyle in a more trendy way and augment our comfort level along with efficiency is the role of technology. Though the technology sources have been easing our daily conducts from the time immemorial, they have more or less entered into our souls in the recent times. Beginning from the electricity, transportation, communication to the mobile phones, microwaves etc, all have added to our comfort and performance.
The lifestyles of humans have been affected through the forefront of these technology resources since the day of commencement of variant discoveries and inventions. The development is remarkable in every aspect. Internet being the perfect example has given way to invasion of innumerous hurdles and overcome all barriers of the world giving the gift of Globalization. Technology, in every sense, has permeated into our lifestyle. Stepping ahead, technology is playing a vital role in international trade and commerce.
Inventions by various talented scientists of the world have given way to an entertaining lifestyle as well which once could not have been thought of. The source of power through the invention of nuclear weapons can also not be neglected. Agricultural scientists have invented hybrid varieties of plants and effective fertilizers. Development in the field of medicine has given way to an optimistic lifestyle.
Although scientific and technological achievements have proved to be a boon for us, they have also created curses for us. In other words, technology is not only for the enhancement of the society but also but also brings in some bad repercussions along. It has widely affected the work, economy and the families posing new hazards to our physical status by introducing new forms of stress and distractions. However, the good or ill effects of technology solely depend on the approach of people using it.
The new technology helps in spreading ideas, values, and behavior patterns in a society thereby changing cultural values. Several imperfections like laziness, obesity, stress etc. have been observed in people in the age range of 10 to 45. The inventions like Internet and multimedia have serious effects on children as well.
Apart from all this, technology has opened up a glut of opportunities and shown appreciable results in developing businesses of the world. This has improved the living standards of people, increased employment opportunities and even education standards of the world. The growing trade means better incomes and better incomes mean better lifestyle. It has also added to the beauty and art in the lives of people in many ways.
Therefore, it depends on the people to decide whether the technology source being used by them affects them in a positive or negative sense. So, the technologies available to people greatly influence how their lives are as well as people have influence on technology’s development and how it is used. The difference in a person’s attitude towards technology is dependent on that person’s exposure to it rather that the perception she/he has of it.
