TECHNOLOGY IN HUMAN LIFE

Technology has changed our lives. It has always been a very important tool in human life,

because it has improved various fields such as work and education; making them more flexible. It

depends a lot a lot on who uses it and the management in wich they use it how. In the domestic

word, thechnology has enabled people far away from home to communicate more derectly

through it, but it also has less favorable consequences for those who mishandle it. As I said

before, a good use depends on who uses it, technology has drastically changed communication

between families, they share many moments of joy and conversation.

Technology has always been a great innovation for human beings and it has helped a lot to

function better in our environment. There is no doubt that we live in an era where digital

technology is transforming society at un unprecedented speed. New challenges, unprecedented

profress has been made. From telegrams to WhatsAoo and black and transfer of information have

evolved and become an essential part of our daily live. But technical devices provide not only

practical value, but also aesthetic and symbolic value, forcing us to choose from a wide variety of

options: not only the most efficient, but also the most beautiful, the best designed or the best for

me.

Also, health condition will be improved in some years, due to the better medical conditions

thanks to technology. For this reason, it is worth starting to think about technology in our dat-to-

day life and questioning ourselves not only how we use it, but also why and for what.

Another reason, technology will make our lives easier at work, study and enven at home

because it will allow us to share with those who are not close, which is of great help in our day to

day life, but for those who do not know how tho get the most out of it. In education field, it

allows us to receive a lot of information, which of course is very beneficial for intellectual

growth, if we know how to use it, because for many people who study. Nowadays , face-to-face

schools also allow distance learning, and technology has made our lives easier and offers many

benefits in our daily live. Parents must take into account the need to establish time limits for the

use of technology by our children, since addiction to technology can have very serious

consequences in all aspects of the lives of children and their families.

In conclusion, it must be said that technologies are too important in human life to be

developed more efficiently, but you should learn to control it more to avoid problems in the

personal, family and social spheres. We need to use all the technology when communicating with

our families, technology gives us different activities that we can share with others.

Stage 5: questions

Do you think social networks will change the way we work in the future?

Do you think some jobs will be automated in the future with the advent of technology?

1. What would happen if the technology did not exist?

I believe that if technology did not exist, everything would be a little more complicated, since

humanity is very dependent on technology in every way, we need computers to be able to work,

to have a better educational development, for comics, etc. become indispensable in human life.

technology is of great importance at work since it facilitates it and allows better

performance and growth
