It continues to impact use.  Since the internet is part of telecommunication in the broader sense, it has affected you right now as you are reading this.  The distance between people grows less and less everyday.

Telecommunications is the science and technology of communications at a distance by electronic transmission of impulses, such as by telegraph, telephone, radio or television. It is the foundation for the Internet and all of the emerging activities surrounding the Internet's activities. Telecommunications is the transmission of information by wire, radio, optical cable, electromagnetic, or other means.

impact my job, it is my job. :) \n\nI am an IT computer fix-it guy.\n\nif this is a homework question you could say something about how many people the tech market employs world wide.\n\nI would say the 24/7 communication part has hurt my personal life due to the fact i am now able to be on call 24/7 and that is seen as OK.

Of course technology leads to social isolation in some situations. For instance, the people holed up in their houses for days on end with game systems. Being on the internet constantly...I could go on and on. I have though of it before, and the impact on our society as a whole, but we have to change with it. There are positive aspects, too, such as making deadlines at work via working 'over' at home, e-mailing and IMs to people who you wouldn't normally be able to contact due to high long distance costs, etc.

yes it has. we are like hamsters in a cage. and technology is destroying the outside, also.

tomorrow will be alot like today.  A week from now will be more of the same.  A year will show a couple cool inventions and some new research.  A decade will have safer cars with lower emmissions.  A century and we will be surprised to find that we still rely alot on ground transport.  Medical improvements will have improved quality of life, but genetic detiriation from a lack of natural selection in humans will be having increasing tolls.  We will start to allow gene therepy but it will be heavily regulated.  A millenia will find man and machine merging.  People will choose to replace faulty body parts with bionic parts instead of cloned parts because the bionic ones allow superior performance.  Sports will be hard to regulate.  Fusion will be controlled and will provide us the energy to travel far in space.  Due to relativistic effects, the amount of people who are willing to travel far are surprisingly few.  Tech takes care of most everything for peolpe nd the most common occupations are science and engineering related.  Art and music widespread, but since there are so many people engaged in it there are relatively few who make much profit from it.  The economy is a combination of socialism and capitalism, more socialistic then America today due to increased availability of resources.  And I could go on and on.

What "modern technology" are you considering living\nwithout?\n\nIt's mostly a volunteer situation, so if you don't like\n"modern medicine", feel free to live with disease and\ninjury.  If you don't like the increased business\nproductivity from computers, run your company with paper\nand pencil.  If you don't like the efficiencies of modern\nautomobiles, ride a bicycle (but avoid the current\nhigh-tech, high-efficiency, low-weight models and stick\nwith something pre-dating "modern technology").  If you\ndon't like being able to stay in touch with your teenager,\ndon't get a cellphone (and then wait and wonder when they\nare late coming home).\n\n\nTechnology isn't an unqualified advantage, but it provides\nus with options that weren't there before.  Anti-statins\nhelp us live longer, telecommunications allow us to work\nwithout travel, and ipods give us music entertainment in\nsituations where our old record players just weren't\nconvenient.  There are people who still walk to work and\nread books at night, so you often (usually?) have a choice\nabout taking advantage of new technology.  I think that as\na society we have answered your question.  We choose to\npay for and use the technology, so it seems pretty obvious\nthat we prefer having it to not having it.

There are innumberable impacts. \nSOME ARE POSITIVE AND SOME NEGATIVE.\n\nOur education system, communication system, transposrtation, and many other social institutions have largly improved.\n\nMedia (print, elctronic) have changed working of our social groups particularly the NGOs.\n\nHuman values have been grately damadged. \n\nIndustrializtion has made the men short of time so relationships have becomes burden.\n\nElectronic media and IT have made the men indifferent from follow beings.\n\nFinancial institutions, particularly the leazing mechanary has made the men slave, indirectly to the financial loans.\n\nMen has lost cultural values of ethics.\n\nEveryday life has become fast, independent and easy but too busy and mechanical.\n\nHealth care has greatly increased and so life expectancy.

There are many new technologies coming up in telecom sector regularly.\nCurrently High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), Mobile TV, Video calls, media streaming seems to be the latest trends.

A very good, complicated and interesting question.  Katy brought up a good point.  You could write entire book on how cell phones has changed daily life around the world.  Just think of how many business decisions are now done in real time rather than getting to a land line (telephone.)  Or how about a reporter in the field giving a story before he or she has set up the equipment to broadcast the story?  Or how about the reporting of the Iraq war where no broadcasting equipment was even available?  With cell phones, many of which now have cameras built into them, people are taking pictures of crimes as they occur.   This is also true for reporting crimes in areas that didn’t normally have phone access.\n\nSince you didn’t speak of which wireless technology you were referring to I can only assume you are talking about all wireless technology so I will discuss some others here.\n\nIn the last few years wireless networking for home computing has really taken off.  It has become much more affordable and easier to configure for the average person.  Now here is where it gets interesting.   Many new laptops have the ability for you to use a wireless networking adapter in them or with them.  Some cities, including mine in Anaheim California, are going to make the whole city wireless!   They are going to install wireless Internet transmitters all over Anaheim so everyone has a wireless connection to the Internet.  Even people visiting from out of town can use the wireless system but they have to pay a small access fee.   Can you imagine driving across the county someday and being able to access the Internet right from your car?\n\n\nLet us not forget that the first wireless technology started with the radio.  Man discovered radio in the late 1800’s.  Radio technology grew in bits and pieces but by the turn of the century wireless communications had been established.  All wireless routers and wireless Internet communication uses radio waves to send the data.\n\n\nLet us not forget RADAR.  RADAR is an acronym for Radio Detection and Ranging\nand helped us win the world war II.  One of the first uses of Microwave technology was used in RADAR in the world war II also.  Most households now use Microwaves to cook food with so radio waves also help us heat things\n\n\nWhat about television transmission?  Isn’t that also wireless?  Although many people now use cable (because they have paid for premium channels) television is a wireless technology.\n\nAnd others:\n\nRadio transponders to find lost aircraft (also a transponder)\nLo Jack stolen automobile retrieval device (also a transponder)\nNavigation\n\nRadio Frequency Identification (RFID) (also a transponder)\nRadio Frequency Identification is a way to remotely receive data from RFID tags or transponders.  They are used on toll roads and even at Mc Donald’s to buy lunch with a swipe of a small device.  They are used soo much that this needs to be researched all by itself.\n\nWhat all wireless technologies have in common is that they are all based on Radio waves.  All of things that I have mentioned are based on Radio technology \n\n\nP.S.  I usually don’t cut and paste and if I do I will say that, that is what I am doing and explain where that information came from.  I like to read information from multiple information sources then put that information together in my own words while keeping the article technically and factually correct.  And as always, I will point to web sites or other information to prove that my information is factual.

Well, here we are with our pervasive communication.  There's the Internet.  There's cell phones in every ear as you walk down the street or ride on the bus.  There's TV in all its forms.  There are more books, magazines, newspapers and other print materials than ever before.  Ever since we've gotten word processing and ink jet printers, and photocopiers, there have been more flyers, posters, advertising handouts and other privately printed materials than ever before.  Then there are movies, DVDs, CDs and all the more esoteric forms of communication disguised as and doing business as entertainment.\n\nWe are in an information age, which means an information overload age.  Everyone I know has at least one phone number, probably two or three (home, office and cell).  Almost everyone I know has one or more email addresses.  They have their own web pages, or at least their own blog pages, like Yahoo! 360.  There are more types of communications that go through the Internet than I've even had a chance to explore yet.\n\nYes; pervasive is definitely the word.

I think it will be the same.  The world has always been filled with perverted people, it's just easier to know about them with the internet and technology, nothings changed, people are just not as naive

a hybrid between biological/electronic technology enabling our brains to communicate directly with implanted computers, eventually in our own language. \n\nI also think anti-ageing genetic modification is on the horizon, but i fear this development. The slower people age, the longer they are going to live & our resources, both natural & financial are going to be stretched to breaking point.

Modernization means a great change for many countries. As you can see some effects of modernization is the outsourcing of business in other countries. That means less job for some countries while a great opportunity for other countries offering cheap labor cost. Other effects of modernization I think is the way people lives. Like now at our times, technology affects how we live our lives everyday. Cellphones and internet have largely affected the way we communicate with each other.

I'll say this much, there will always be structures and structures that need repair/modification and they will always be wherever you are. Electrical infrastructure is one thing that will be around for a long time, but electrical design and electronics design are getting offshored big time. In the 70's thru early 80s my part of the country was huge in defense contracts, then a downturn and tons of EEs out of work. Then telecom boomed and they became "valuable assets" due to the "shortage". Then telecom busted and EEs were on the street again and the recovering is slow in coming. Nanotech is supposed to be the next big thing around here, who knows when it will bust
