New technologies have a huge impact on our lives and how we communicate, work, and entertain ourselves. While technologies allow for faster information exchange and the ability to work and interact without needing to leave home, they also have disadvantages. These include increased social isolation as people interact less in person and more online, a culture of inactivity as technology replaces physical activity for children, and reduced privacy as monitoring technologies track our movements and purchases. Overall, new technologies both provide benefits and risks that must be weighed.

1. NEW TECHNOLOGY
How does it affect your life?
What are the advantages and the disadvantages of it?
The new technologies have a huge impact on our lives, how we communicate and work, and
how we have fun.
The benefits of new technologies are based, mainly in the speed of information exchange.
Indeed, we can communicate with friends, relatives and acquaintances, send emails, search for
information, among many other things...
So many actions carried out by means of interactive machines, the feeling is that we no longer
need to leave home for work, shopping, sightseeing, meeting people, don’t need the materiality
of books, newspapers or magazines to read, don’t need to quot;be presentquot; to certify the presence.
Today, it is very difficult to give up several instruments, such as a refrigerator, a washing
machine, a computer, the Internet, the central heating …
With the health technology evolution, in the future may be possible to buy years of life, replace
parts of our body by clones, negotiate the replacement of our bodies in a free market or use the
computers to replace the human brain.
The main disadvantages I can enumerate are:
- To facilitate communication between human beings, new technologies, combined with factors
such as urban violence, contributed to the distancing emotional / social isolation. The embrace,
the touch was a world away. This is the kind of voluntary solitude, in which the individual
chooses whether to exclude the company's real friends, who lives in the middle and close within
a local and stay in front of a machine.
- In today's society, new technologies have enabled a culture of inactivity, which is associated
with the behaviour resulting from the comforts of everyday modern life. Indeed, not many years
ago, we saw children run and play happily in the street, with their legs skinned. Currently,
children are too long at home, in the company of computer games, televisions and processed
food, without the necessary physical activity.
- In the interests of collective security are countless technologies for monitoring available,
including video surveillance of the cameras, satellites, Internet sites that track consumer habits,
ATM cards that allow the knowledge of where we were and what we purchased, the antennas
that capture our steps by signals from the phone, restricting our privacy and, above all, a basic
constitutional right, our freedom.
Thanks to Tic the dreams of yesterday are the hopes of today and the uncertainty of tomorrow.
