2. Let us know first Know about the term
“Technology”
Technology is defined as a
comprehensive process based on the
application of science and knowledge in
many areas of life in an orderly and
thoughtful manner in order to achieve
important and valuable purposes for
individuals and communities.
3. How important technology is in our
daily lives.
It is no longer limited to work and in developed
societies, but any person, regardless of his or her
cultural or social level, or whatever his age, can use a
cell phone, for example, to take pictures, send and
receive them.
Technology helps us to keep in touch with people
who are away from us. We use phones and
computers to talk to them and even see them.
Our daily work office is also technology-based.
People no longer use pen and paper to complete
their work.
4. Importance of technology in
communication
Technological advances in
communication have become endless.
Technology is of great importance in
terms of facilitating communication
between people, as it has contributed
effectively to making the big world look
like a small village.
5. Modern technology and the world
wide web
The World Wide Web is defined as all content on the
Internet such as web pages, videos, and images that
are displayed in HTML and can be accessed through
the user's web browser.
After the invention of the Web, and when it became
accessible to all people, its pages were filled with
millions of sites that serve people in their lives by
providing information and knowledge and allowing
people to communicate with each other through
programs that allow seeing the caller still and
moving pictures.
6. Importance of technology in education
E-learning is one of the most
significant contributions of
technology to learning; The
learner can control his / her
education system by managing
the learning process, the content
of the learning process, and
communicating with colleagues
during the learning process.
7. Importance of Technology In Decision-Making
and Problem-Solving
Technology has contributed to solving various human problems, especially at the present time due
to the rapid state of change associated with the amount of information that exists.
It has also facilitated communication between human beings and has helped to provide different
means of transport and introduced new agricultural methods that are a reason for increasing food
production.
It should be noted that applications made in the field of health care and consequently positive, and
many other technological means have developed the lives of people, and helped them save time
and effort.
8. Importance of technology in domestic
work
There are many modern tools that made it
easier for people, such as a vacuum cleaner,
which was replaced by old tools used to do
so, as well as the electric heating device for
various foods called (microwave), and the
ordinary oven.
Microwaves became popular in the late ’70s.
It simplified the process of heating pre-
cooked food. Also, while heating food, they
are less prone to spread pollution when
compared to regular gas stoves. That suits
sustainable living, too!
9. Importance of technology in health care
Technology has helped doctors answer all
patient queries faster. There are various
technological innovations in the health sector,
such as the invention of certain drugs, the
development of information technology,
biotechnology, and development processes.
Advanced medical devices have made it
possible to detect many diseases and have
facilitated their treatment. In addition, they have
provided the opportunity to complete some
types of treatment at home, resulting in a
shorter stay in hospitals, and thus a reduction in
the cost of treatment.
10. Importance of technology in business
Business is one of the most
beneficial areas of technology.
The manager makes his decisions
in a short time and he can easily
solve problems, with the help of
technology.
Information technology and its
applications in the business world
have facilitated the use of
computers and allowed the use of
the Web, thus making work more
flexible.
11. Types of Technological Innovations and
Their Uses
Semi-radical Technology
Semi-radical technology builds up on the technological knowledge that already exists.
Disruptive Technology
Disruptive technology is a whole new innovation in a specific area, which disrupts an existing
technology by making the innovation more accessible.
Incremental Technology
Incremental technology, seemingly similar to semi-radical technology, differs from it in a sense
that it focuses on making smaller innovations to the already existing technological aspect.
12. Technology Helps Create More Equality in
Society
Technology has made it possible for people from all
walks of life to have access to different resources.
Further, technology is also being used to equip
people who need a certain type of assistance to
improve their quality of life and help them avail
opportunities that would otherwise be inaccessible.
For instance, with technological advancements,
people with blindness or hearing difficulties can be
provided assistance using technology. Further,
health-related tools, such as artificial joints and
cardiovascular implants help people with certain
disabilities or health conditions to have an improved
quality of life.
13. AI Changing The Way We Work
If someone had told you just a few years ago that
very soon, you’d have access to a free AI tool that
could help you with all of your tasks, you might
not have believed them. But in 2023, millions of
people are now using Chat GPT, Bard, and other
generative AI tools for all sorts of tasks in their
personal and work lives.
The AI revolution really is here. ChatGPT has
been helping people with jobs like writing
recipes, creating job resumes, crafting essays and
poems, summarizing historical events,
composing emails, creating spreadsheets, and
even filing their tax returns. Others have used it
to get free legal advice or plan their holiday.
14. So, there we have it — eight dramatic
ways that technology has impacted our
daily lives for good. Of course,
technology never takes a rest, and you
can bet that it won’t be long before some
of the devices and services we’ve covered
here are superseded — in many cases,
their next iteration is already being
worked on in a lab somewhere.
Regardless, there’s no denying that
technology has, and will continue to,
have a huge impact on our lives, in one
way or another.
