Technology is all around us, you use it everyday, sometimes before you go to work and even on your way to work. Once you arrive at the office you are using computers or laptops to do business. It's designed to make our lives easier and keep us informed and by keeping us in touch with several different mediums. Ten years ago most businesses had computers but they were not as advanced as the ones we use today. Now if a business wants to succeed they must be plugged into the world wide web and be able to update their system to keep ahead of the market and fight for the competitive edge. Many companies rely on global networks to give them information, years ago that information was found by research and now technology has helped to distribute it all over the world.
Computers were the first advances in technology, after the internet was made available for commercial use many people discovered the benefits of going mobile and laptops were created. With the introduction of cellular phones which gave us even more mobility we found a new way to do business. No more sitting in the office and making calls, people were allowed to get out and expand their businesses. Cell phones have become a necessary tool for anybody who needs to do business and do it outside the office. Cell phones can do everything a computer can do and they can do it wirelessly.
Camcorders replaced the old movie recorders because they had better picture and you could even record sound with them. They have gotten smaller in size as well, now they can be carried around in your shirt pocket. Technology seems to be advancing faster than we can keep up with, there are many devises that make it to the market place but don't find a niche. Its up to the buying public to make a devise worth buying, creating something that doesn't serve the publics demand will be obsolete before it hits the market. Digital camera have replaced 35mm film picture taking because you can e-mail the pictures immediately. Some professional photographers still rely on 35mm film because they can capture pictures with more clarity.
The introduction of touch screens on cell phones is the newest must have. Many devises are using touch screens because it allows the user a chance to have a gadget that they can control with their personal touch. Since technology is designed to make our lives easier we must understand first how it will benefit us. If you buy a laptop but don't know how to use it then it won't serve you very well. There have been advancements in technology but many people of the older generation do not know how to work these new toys or don’t have a use for them. The younger generation is teaching the older one how to communicate in the digital age. There are still more advancements yet to come from technology; how they will benefit our lives will be the true test of consumption. Data can only be input by humans so we still have control over how we communicate with each other.
Technology proved decisive in fashioning and maintaining human societies in the Paleolithic and Neolithic eras and in every human culture since, and technology completely underpins industrial civilization today. Computers represent another domain where applied science has transformed technology and society. Essentially no one anticipated the computer, however, or how it would transform society. Science and technology drew closer together in the twentieth century through increased understanding and exploitation of science for applied ends. In a host of realms physical scientists, computer scientists, and computer engineers toiled to improve the amazing technology of the computer: software and programming languages; the silicon “chip” itself and ever more elaborate and faster integrated circuits; high-tech methods to manufacture these chips; increasingly sophisticated magnetic media and data storage technologies; improved means of displaying information; and industry standards in general.
By the 1990s the Internet stood poised for commercial development, and in the last two decades the world has witnessed the development of the incredible and transformative global information system that the Internet is today. The Internet is only partly about the routers or servers that make up the physical system, and it is only partly about the Internet Service Providers and the economics of Web-based sales or services. The Internet is mostly about communication and access to information. The Internet serves as the substrate and technical basis for personal communication through e-mail. People around the globe now have instant access to one another via e-mail and the Internet. But no less significant, in what amounts to being a universal library, the Internet also brings the world’s information instantaneously to video monitors in homes and offices and on the road everywhere across the globe
The characteristics of information-be it software, text or even bio-tech research-make it an economically obvious thing to share. It is a “non rival” good: i.e., your use of it does not interfere with my use. Better still, there are network effects. Best of all, the existence of the internet means that the costs of sharing are remarkably low. The cost of distribution is negligible, and co-ordination is easy because people can easily find others with similar goals and contribute when convenient. Moreover, via “peer- -to peer” systems, people exchange digital copies of music over the internet, sharing not only songs but, more important, the physical memory of their PCs. Tens of millions of people have used peer- to- peer systems, which account for more than half of all internet traffic. One reason why sharing is so commonplace is that there is enormous overcapacity in both computer memory and internet bandwidth.
Quick communication is the essence of modern civilization. The cell phone quickly took off as an indispensable tool for modern living. Communications today are increasingly tied to persons, not places, and the concomitant lifestyle changes are evident everywhere. Etiquette and mindsets have changed as people scramble to answer the discordant rings that now jingle inappropriately in meetings and other social settings. Drivers who use their cell phones in moving cars are a known hazard, with automobile accidents and deaths rising as a result. The cell phone has facilitated closer communications among circles of family, friends, and business associates, but the technology has also increased our collective alienation, as the mobile phone turns us away from civil society and inward, toward private cohorts. The more democratic pay phone is on the decline, but a distinct advantage of cell-phone technology is that it has allowed developing countries to “leapfrog” over the stage of extending prohibitively expensive land lines in favor of implanting cell-phone systems that, while not cheap, have made it possible for less developed countries to achieve something close to communications parity with the developed world.
Movies and music, too, represent giant, converging industries and technologies. Often on huge screens and with exquisite sound systems, multiplex cinema palaces show multimillion-dollar blockbuster films with spectacular special effects.
Undoubtedly, then, as long as humankind exists and inhabits planet Earth, humans will continue to shape their world using their technologies.
