Technology refers to tools, machines, systems and methods used to solve problems or perform tasks. It can be applied to various areas like construction, medicine or information. Technology both positively and negatively impacts culture and society. While it has increased connectivity and brought new opportunities, an over-reliance on technology can also facilitate issues like stress, cybercrime and environmental pollution. Modern youth are heavily exposed to digital technologies from a young age, which provides advantages like employment skills but also risks from overuse. The development of new technologies presents benefits but also threats if misused, showing that while technology progresses society must find balanced ways to reap rewards and mitigate harms.
