Part II. Body
2.1. Concept and the development of technology
- Artificial intelligence will penetrate every field: Artificial intelligence (AI) is not
only a technological trend, it is arguably the most important technological innovation
of our century. AI are creating systems that are self-learning, adaptive, and capable of
functioning. Combined with platforms, the data economy as well as the digital
ecosystem, it will drastically revolutionize our understanding of customers,
6
preferences, as well as methods of manipulation to activate the best customers and
change their behavior into desired outcomes. AI will enable every business to leverage
its power to create smarter products and services. In addition, AI will also be enhanced
in almost every business process of industries.
- Virtual Reality Technology and Augmented Reality: Virtual Reality (VR) and
Augmented Reality (AR) are merging the physical and digital worlds. While VR
enables a rich digital experience, AR adds digital components to our real world.
VR and AR technologies will redefine how we interact with digital content. By 2024,
it is expected that there will be more enriching educational experiences, improved
virtual workshops, and AR applications integrated into everyday life, enhancing
navigation and access to information.
- The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing strongly: Simply put, the Internet of Things
(IoT: Internet of Things) is a network of interconnected devices and sensors, all of
which communicate, collect and exchange data with each other. Connection can be
done via Wi-Fi network, mobile information network, etc. Devices can be
smartphones, coffee makers, washing machines, headphones and many other devices.
IoT will be a giant network of connections to connect everything including people, and
there will exist relationships between people and people, people and devices, devices
and devices. The number of IoT devices worldwide is forecast to nearly triple from 9.7
billion in 2020 to more than 29 billion IoT devices in 2030.

to create high-quality biological products. These products will meet the needs and
interests of people in the socio-economy and provide environmentally friendly
products, while minimizing current environmental pollution. At the same time, this
field of technology also helps industrial production processes become much safer and
more efficient.
Besides, a number of advanced technologies such as: Edge computing, digital ethical
blockchain technology and privacy,.... will be developed and increasingly widely
applied. All of these technological advances will play a central role in reshaping our
world. Technology brings incredible opportunities, it also brings responsibilities, and it
is our responsibility to ensure these innovations improve our lives and the world in a
positive way.
Besides, investment in R&D (Research & Development) is still relatively low and
scattered. However, there are signs showing businesses' active participation in R&D to
8
localize foreign technology and increase innovation on existing systems and
technologies. R&D results in Vietnam have also improved a lot. According to the
Global Innovation Index 2020, Vietnam scored relatively well in trademark and
industrial design registration by origin (ranked 20 and 43, respectively) while patent
registration by origin ranked relatively low ranking, at position 65.
Technology has significantly improved household activities and daily living in various
ways. Here are some specific examples:
- Smart Home Management Apps: Technology has led to the development of smart
home management apps, enabling users to monitor and manage household activities
remotely. Features include tracking energy consumption, controlling security systems,
and managing ventilation and environmental sensors.
9
Users can engage in activities such as online shopping, obtaining information on
appliance usage and maintenance, and connecting with communities to share
experiences and knowledge.
- Time Management Apps: Technology offers time management and household chore
apps that help users organize schedules and divide tasks more efficiently. Features
include planning shopping trips, managing to-do lists, and reminders for important
activities.
According to Forbes, American adults spend over 12 hours a day in front of screens.
Technology has drastically changed the way people communicate with each other.
There are so many benefits of technology, and one of the biggest being enhanced
communication.
Media channels like social media, blogs, and websites have changed the way that our
world communicates with one another. Before the internet and social media, people
received information via newspapers and television. Now individuals can access
information immediately with the click of a button on Twitter, Instagram, and
Facebook.
10
Technology has democratized access to information. The internet provides a vast
library of knowledge at our fingertips. Search engines and online resources make
research and learning significantly easier.
Communication in the workplace is now easier than ever before. With the use of
communication tools such as social media, video chatting, and cloud-based systems it
is much easier to collaborate and reach people quickly within the workplace. Along
with improving communication, technology has also improved workplace efficiency
and productivity.
Technology makes communication faster. It started with text messaging and has only
improved from there. We can now send a text message within seconds and add images,
emojis, and other effects to friends and family members around the world. If you have
compatible smartphones, like two iPhones, you can send iMessages which has plenty
of options for personalizing your messages. Another example of faster communication
is FB Messenger – Hundreds of millions of people around the world have Facebook.
An easy way to communicate quickly with other FB users is through their FB
Messenger app. Send messages, videos, images, emojis and more.
Technology has profoundly changed education. For one, technology has greatly
expanded access to education. In medieval times, books were rare and only an elite
few had access to educational opportunities. Individuals had to travel to centers of
learning to get an education. Today, massive amounts of information (books, audio,
images, videos) are available at one’s fingertips through the Internet, and opportunities
for formal learning are available online worldwide through the Khan Academy,
MOOCs, podcasts, traditional online degree programs, and more. Access to learning
opportunities today is unprecedented in scope thanks to technology.
11
following the expedition of a team of scientists in the region, read scientists’ blog
posting, viewing photos, e-mail questions to the scientists, and even talk live with the
scientists via a videoconference. Students can share what they are learning with
students in other classrooms who are tracking the same expedition. Students can
collaborate on group projects using technology-based tools such as wikis and Google
Docs. The walls of the classrooms are no longer a barrier as technology enables new
ways of learning, communicating, and working collaboratively.
Technology has also begun to change the roles of teachers and learners. In the
traditional classroom, such as what we see depicted in de Voltolina’s illustration, the
teacher is the primary source of information, and the learners passively receive it. This
model of the teacher as the “sage on the stage” has been in education for a long time,
and it is still very much in evidence today. However, because of the access to
information and educational opportunities that technology has enabled, in many
classrooms today we see the teacher’s role shifting to the “guide on the side” as
students take more responsibility for their learning using technology to gather relevant
information. Schools and universities across the country are beginning to redesign
learning spaces to enable this new model of education, foster more interaction and
small group work, and use technology as an enabler.
Technology is a powerful tool that can support and transform education in many ways,
from making it easier for teachers to create instructional materials to enabling new
ways for people to learn and work together. With the worldwide reach of the Internet
and the ubiquity of smart devices that can connect to it, a new age of anytime
anywhere education is dawning. It will be up to instructional designers and educational
technologies to make the most of the opportunities provided by technology to change
education so that effective and efficient education is available to everyone everywhere.
Today, as human life develops, entertainment needs are increasingly receiving people's
attention. As technology becomes more and more familiar and appears in human
activities, it has also partly changed the way we entertain.
12
Firstly, television and movies. Technology has brought about the popularity of
streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and Disney+, allowing
users to watch movies and TV shows online right on their devices. This has changed
how we watch television and movies by providing a premium account to access a large
content library.
Secondly, technology has changed the way we access and listen to music. People can
listen to music through streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube
Music, allowing access to millions of songs and playlists from anywhere and on any
device. Initially, compact discs revolutionized the music industry because they were
cheaper to record. However, with the advent of the digital age, you no longer need to
stream music from the Internet using MP3 technology. Technology has also brought
convenience to downloading and storing digital music on mobile devices.
Thirdly, there is the video game industry. High-quality graphics, online multiplayer
capabilities, and virtual reality technology have revolutionized the gaming experience.
Esports, or competitive video games, have also become popular as entertainment.
In addition, there are social networking platforms. Technology has created social
media platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitch, allowing users to
create and share entertaining content. This has given rise to a new wave of influencers,
content creators, and online stars entertaining and interacting with audiences through
videos, livestreams, and other forms of content.
It can be seen that technology has changed the way we entertain ourselves in ways we
have never seen before, laying the foundation for a brighter future and helping us
move forward.
Health care is considered a major human concern. In the current development context,
technology has had a huge impact on the medical field and brought many significant
benefits.
Firstly, improve the quality of medical services. Technology has helped convert
patient records from paper to electronic form, helping to store medical information
13
securely and easily access it. Electronic records enable healthcare providers to share
information quickly and effectively, improving patient care and reducing errors.
Thirdly, use surgical robots. Currently, the use of robots to perform surgeries or
support complex surgical procedures is becoming increasingly popular. Surgical robots
have become effective support tools for doctors, performing precise surgical
techniques and minimizing blood loss, infection, and pain for patients.
In addition, nowadays, people can use mobile phones to integrate medical utilities such
as online health consultations, personal health monitoring, appointment scheduling,
and medication reminders. These applications enhance personal health management
and interactions between patients and healthcare providers.
In conclusion, technology has had a profound impact on the medical field. All of these
contribute to improving the quality of medical care, enhancing diagnostic capabilities,
reducing errors, and enhancing personal health management.

2.3. Technology helps change the way people do business
Technology has changed the way people approach various aspects of life. Once
technology comes into our life and develops fast, everything gets more convenient,
flexible, and automatic. Then people will acknowledge everything around them
quickly, connect to others more easily, and get information quickly,... There are some
aspects that people will connect to.
Firstly, the way people communicate, technology has made communication faster,
easier, and more accessible. With the advent of smartphones, social media platforms,
and instant messaging apps, people can now connect with others globally in real-time.
This has changed the way people maintain relationships, collaborate on projects, and
share information.
The second, work more easily with the rise of technology has significantly impacted
the workplace. Remote work has become increasingly common, enabled by tools like
video conferencing, cloud computing, and collaboration software. Additionally,
15
automation and artificial intelligence have streamlined many tasks, leading to changes
in job roles and skill requirements.
With transportation, technology has disrupted the transportation industry, with the rise
of ride-sharing services, electric vehicles, and autonomous vehicles. These
advancements have not only changed how people commute but also have the potential
to reduce traffic congestion, lower carbon emissions, and improve road safety. People
can go shopping with E-commerce, with online retailers offering a wide range of
products and services accessible from anywhere with an internet connection. Mobile
payment solutions and digital wallets have simplified the checkout process, making
online shopping more convenient and secure.
Overall, technology has fundamentally altered the way people approach various
aspects of life, offering new opportunities, efficiencies, and challenges. As technology
continues to evolve, its impact on society will continue to shape how people live,
work, and interact with one another.
Then how does technology affect the world? Technology has played a significant role
in accelerating globalization by facilitating, foreign affairs, trade, and the exchange of
ideas across borders.
16
When people exchange information, the internet has democratized access to
information, allowing people to access news, research, and educational resources from
anywhere in the world. This free flow of information has facilitated the spread of
ideas, cultures, and knowledge, contributing to greater global awareness and
interconnectedness. The rise of e-commerce platforms has transformed the way goods
and services are bought and sold globally. Online marketplaces enable businesses to
reach customers worldwide, breaking down traditional barriers to trade and opening up
new markets. Additionally, digital payment systems and logistics technologies have
streamlined cross-border transactions and shipping processes. Technology has
facilitated greater cultural exchange and understanding by allowing people to share
their traditions, customs, and experiences with a global audience. Social media
platforms, video-sharing sites, and online forums provide a platform for individuals to
connect, collaborate, and celebrate diversity. In addition, technology has enabled
global collaboration on a scale never seen before. International organizations,
businesses, and research institutions can collaborate remotely on projects ranging from
scientific research and development to humanitarian efforts and climate change
mitigation.
17
Firstly, the privacy of individuals will be impaired. For example, users often post
updated photos of personal activities, family and friends, even locations and addresses,
on online platforms such as Facebook, Zalo, Instagram,... to share with everyone as
well as record beautiful memories that they want to preserve; or when installing social
networking platforms, technology car booking services, and online purchases, users
are often forced to share private information: phone numbers, contacts, addresses, etc.
Even a citizen ID or bank card to link in the most specific way to continue using for
free;… are some of the common reasons why users can reveal personal information on
the internet. That can create favorable conditions for hackers to steal, buy, and sell
your information to use for bad purposes.
Secondly, the security risk posed by technology. Businesses depend on the use of
computers and digital devices to operate transportation. The majority of business
transactions and transactions are done through computers and using the internet. Any
surprise from employees or workers could reveal your business information to
competitors, hackers, or online scammers. For instance, in April 2011, hackers who
attacked the Sony PlayStation network were tricked and stole information such as
usernames, addresses, and signal card information, costing Sony $171 million.
One of the most negative effects of technology is the rise of technology addiction.
Internet use disorder or Internet game disorder is a fairly new genre and a growing
trend, but many addictive video games are built with that in mind. Most importantly,
some video games are violent in nature and if adults have no control over the games
their children play, those children who don't have enough understanding will be
curious and act in real life as they see in the game. We can see a lot of tragic cases
caused by addiction to technology or games in the press, including the game "Blue
Whale Challenge" in 2016 which spread fear to many countries around the world.
We are almost always exposed to some kind of technological device and it's hard to
ignore. It is a rapidly growing phenomenon and shows no signs of slowing down.
18
The rise of technology has undeniably contributed to a growing trend of sedentary
lifestyles. This makes people live more passively because technological devices help
them solve work, reduce brain stimulation, making people lazy to think and move. For
example, many people often sit at home and order online without having to go out to
buy them even though they are completely free. Or in calculation, nowadays people
often use computers to calculate including simple calculations and this makes many
people lose their ability to calculate themselves and reduce their thinking ability.
The vast majority of technological devices are electronic, and they obviously need
electricity to run, which means it costs more to use all this technology.
Additionally, the rapid innovation cycle leading to frequent upgrades often results in
planned obsolescence, further exacerbating e-waste and resource depletion.
Addressing these challenges requires responsible manufacturing practices, sustainable
waste management solutions, and a shift towards more energy-efficient technologies.
2.5. Solutions
In fact, there were a lot of damage occurs due to human causes. For instance, the
situation of leaks, theft, and trading of personal data has been common in cyberspace
in recent times due to people's low awareness of data protection. Perhaps a bad habit of
ours is to easily post our personal information anywhere on social networking sites.
19
This creates a huge risk. People need to consciously consider their personal
information as an asset to protect. This is one of the core solutions to the problem of
personal information leaking.
Technology was born to serve people. So we must know how to take advantage of the
advantages and overcome the weaknesses. We should use automation appropriately, at
the right time, and for the right purpose. But we should not be too dependent on
machinery because we will become passive and reduce our thinking ability.
20
Looking ahead, the trajectory of technological advancement promises even greater
transformation and disruption across various facets of human existence and
organizational operations. Emerging technologies such as blockchain, augmented
reality, and the Internet of Things hold the potential to revolutionize industries,
redefine business models, and address complex societal challenges.
