Technology is part of our day to day, it is very naturalized and we use it on a daily, many
times we are not aware of how this comes to our hands, how many people had it before us and
what is the impact that occurs, (Social, Economic, Environmental and especially cultural) that
has on our lives. Technology on the one hand has a great impact on youth since all young people
use the Internet to carry out school activities or to use the resource for fun, but I think that
technology is very useful and has a positive impact today. With technology we can use social
networks, something that can help to enrich the social life, share interests and even maintain
contact with family members who live far away. Technology can also be used for safety, it can
can also use calendar applications to control the medications and health care. Technology helps
the environment because when natural disasters approach people can take precautions before the
situation, also we can reduce the impact of man on the environment and promote awareness on
the issue worldwide by technology, it is beneficial because helps us in all aspects of life.
entertainment, and the ability to make things easier and faster, can be one of the obstacles in the
classroom. Several of the elements of entertainment such as cell phones, mobile games,
applications and in general surfing the Internet can distract students. In addition, the common use
of chat through cell phones drastically increases the lack of concentration among colleagues.

With new technologies students can get good grades without the greatest effort by doing quick
searches to solve any kind of problem. The technology made fraud become something very
simple to do as never before, with a very low probability of being caught. Another negative
effect of technology is the reduction of the need for human interaction to solve doubts, since with
the Internet only puts what the consumer want to know and many sources of information will
appear. It also increases the problems of marginalization of groups that cannot access new
innovations because, if it does not have the last devices that have come out, it is null, it is nobody
because the people who own them believe more than the others. "Technology and social
Undoubtedly in recent years the new information and communication technologies have
had a very rapid development. They have made it possible to unite ever stronger bonds between
people and the world. From my point of view I believe that far from influencing technologies
have come to improve in some aspects in our lives and in many cases to facilitate our work since
for many technologies have become our own work tools. For many, the technology represents an
affectation, since, instead of benefiting, the technology is doing us removing activities, because
everything a cell phone or a device can do for us, sometimes we do not need to get up from the
seat or bed because it is enough to have a control or an application that manages the blinds, lights
scientific calculator that no longer only performs the basic operations. Currently it already
performs any operation that includes algebra or calculation. For another sector of the population,
the technological advances if they represent a great assistance, for example, for those with
different capacities, recently have been created devices that can be ignited through a blow, this in
order to help those who do not Have mobility of arms or legs or have lost them. "The usefulness

of virtual reality is unlimited, and in fact little by little we are becoming aware of what is
important and how much it is going to be integrated into our lives" (Estrella Digital said)
While half the world thinks about how we can change the way we work to respect the
environment, the other half seems to continue ignoring the symptoms of our planet. Even so, we
are optimistic, since technology, our great ally, can help achieve positive objectives in this
regard. "Technology has evolved so much to become the only viable means to safeguard the
integrity of the planet." - (Red Bull page said). In recent years, we have seen extensions that
allow to save paper when printing web pages, devices that help find better routes in traffic to
save fuel, proposals for electric bicycles that allow to leave the car at home, collaborative
projects where several users identify problems from photos taken from satellites, printers
Today the youngest are characterized by belonging to the generation of digital natives,
that part of the population that was born after the invention of the internet. That's why
incorporating technology into education brings a series of benefits that help improve efficiency
and productivity in the classroom, as well as increase the interest of children and adolescents in
academic activities. Technology in education plays a fundamental role, not only because it
allows students to acquire the necessary skills to function in this society focused on technological
knowledge, but because it provides tools to Higher Education institutions to improve the quality
of life of all students and Community. Technology is being integrated into processes that range
from academic planning and evaluation to student follow-up, and provides a number of benefits
that help improve efficiency and productivity, since the combination of talented teachers and
high-quality technology, which is used in the right way, can create an empowering classroom
experience for both the students as for the teachers "Educators are beginning to focus on how to

integrate technology to improve student outcomes." (Sari Factor, CEO of Edgenuity.). The
Internet and access to increasingly intuitive mobile devices have put a paradigm shift in the use
of technology. This change is also evident in the field of education, in which more and more
things can be done, taking advantage of the network and its possibilities, both inside and outside
the classroom.
In this work we were able to appreciate the great impact that technology brings to our
lives, and the fundamental role it has for us as users, also helps teachers and even the
environment. The technology in our lives works according to the use we give it, it can act
positively as in some negative cases. When done positively, the results of the search are
included. When it comes to an action in a negative way, there are unfavorable aspects, stress
genres, human labor is replaced and sometimes students are lazier because they do not study or
investigate only copy and paste what they need from the internet. But without taking into account
if it acts in a positive and negative way, technology us benefits in all areas of our life and the
most important thing is that it is always in constant evolution, we just have to know how to use
it.
