TECHNOLOGY IN EVERYDAY LIFE
The
development and improvement of technology has greatly improved our lives. It
has led to a far better, easier and very comfortable life for the people. There
are various ways through which technology has changed our lives and this
includes the following:
The rise of
the internet technology has improved our daily lives in very many ways. It has become easier to book railway tickets,
bus tickets and even flights at the comforts of your home without having to
move. The payment of bills and other accounts related jobs of every business
entity is easily managed by the available online facilities. Financial
institutions and banks have introduced online internet systems which makes life
easier. The introduction of ATMs has made it very possible to withdraw money at
anytime of the day. Also it has become easy to advertise through the internet
and thereby promoting the business in a faster way.
The impact
of technology is a very good classical example of the way our lives has
improved due to technology. The ancient people did not get the chance to learn
in interactive classrooms with projectors and even 3D images. Computers,
powerpoint presentations and also the internet technology has brought about
teaching in a very different dimension. The education system has become
computer dominated and has gone beyong notebooks and blackboards. Nowadays it
is more possible for audience and students who are located in very different
geographical areas to get access to lectures which are being conducted through
video conferencing. Also many websites are promoting the online tutoring which
means you do not have to attend to a classroom to get educations,you can do it
at the comfort of your home.

TECHNOLOGY IN PROFESSIONAL LIFE
Use of
Technology in Business: Today businesses can save money by using technology to
perform certain tasks. When you compare the amount of money spent on hiring an
individual to perform a certain task and to guarantee delivery on time, it is
totally expensive. When it comes to technology a small business can scale out
and deliver more with less human resource.
For
example: If you operate a manufacturing business, instead of hiring so many
people to work in certain section , you can replace that labor with a ”PLC”
programmed production line which will automate the all process of manufacturing
. The benefits of using a ”PLC” , is that productivity and accuracy will be
better and first compared to using individuals.
Also technology
has made it simple to get feed back from your clients on instant: This has been aided by the introductions of
online business to consumer portals like ’’Facebook Business Pages’’. As a business, you will can get responses and
suggestions from your customers via social network portals. All you need is to create your business page
and promote it, so your clients will always post what they want on your wall
and suggest areas of improvement. This
will save you money on direct mail surveys and other means of getting
information from your consumers.

TECHNOLOGY IN STUDIES
“We need technology in every classroom and in
every student and teacher’s hand, because it is the pen and paper of our time,
and it is the lens through which we experience much of our world.” – David
Warlick
Today’s modern student is growing up with technology
as a part of every aspect in life – so why should the classroom learning
experience be any different? If technology can enhance the educational
experience, should learning institutions and administrations have the right to
limit students’ access to technology? And what does this mean for professors
and for the culture of teaching and learning?
Incoming college students belong to a
generation that has grown up using technology in most aspects of their lives
since early childhood. My twelve-year-old
brother taught my fifty-two-year-old mother how to use her first smart phone.
He can also troubleshoot any of our smart devices better than I can, and just
smiles and enjoys the teaching moment when his big sister needs his help.
The Huffington Post wrote that 92 percent of
teachers said that the Internet has a “major impact” on their ability to access
content, resources and materials, and many are finding that it helps their
ability to interact with students. Even more importantly, instructors have reported
that digital technology in the classroom has increased students’ academic
performance.
“Technology by itself will almost never change
education,” says Dylan Arena, Ph.D., co-founder and chief learning scientist at
Kidaptive. “The only way to change educational practices is to change the
beliefs and values of teachers, administrators, parents and other educational
stakeholders, and that’s a cultural issue, not a technological one.
