In a nutshell, as good and important as modern technologies are, efforts should be made to curb their negative impacts. Whenever there is a technological innovation, efforts should be made to forestall its negative impacts on the society.

1. Effects of Emerging Technologies on the Society
Technology has affected and is still affecting people of all age brackets
from all over the world. You can imagine the formats in which toddlers' toys
and items for old people are made these days. They are given touch of
modernity to let them have the feel of the innovations the mind of the
human person is capable of.
Internet Technology
Let us begin with Information Technology. Gone are the days when people
melted for fear of where to get information or data for their usage.
Whatever information you think you need has been well written out for you
on the Internet. "Internet is the world on the computer". The internet has a
wealth of information on every area of human endeavour. It is a safe place
of consultation or reference for students as well as professors. The internet
is a place individuals and enterprise run to locate the information they
need. For instance, when you need any service, just log into the Internet,
and you will see one million and one individuals and organisations who
render such services. Whatever it is you need, you can find it on the
internet.
The world wide web as an aspect of technological advancement, has made
the production and sharing of information a breeze. With the proper use of
the internet, businesses that took "ages" to be accomplished are now
executed within a twinkle of an eye. Even though the internet has
numerous advantages, it has some disadvantages too. A lot of unhealthy

2. materials are available on the internet. And these to the detriment of
innocent minds. In as much as good people post relevant information on
the net for the use of those who need them, people with bad intentions also
post harmful materials on the internet. Materials on how to indulge in bad
things abound on the internet. This is because a large part of the internet is
not censored.
Nano technology
Nano technology, like the Internet technology is spreading like a wild fire
and its future effects are unimaginable. Nano technology spreads through
large parts of human life. In the area of human health, nano technology is
used for the treatment of cancer. It is used through the infrared to dismantle
cancer tumors. Besides the health sector where nano technology has
proved its relevance, it is also a force in the electronic sector. With nano,
devices or applications of different types and sizes can be built.
Energy Technology
So much has come out under this category. We have the solar energy, the
wind powered plants, hydrogen battery technology. These have proved
really useful in place of their alternative technologies. They have helped to
break monopoly of various power sectors. Many homes in the US and
Europe power their homes with solar energy. This and others are fruits of
alternative energy. As good as these are, they come with some
environmental hazards. They generate a level of pollutions in our
environments like air and water pollution and heat generation to mention
but a few.
In a nutshell, as good and important as modern technologies are, efforts
should be made to curb their negative impacts. Whenever there is a
technological innovation, efforts should be made to forestall its negative
impacts on the society.
