Is technology really benificial?

It depends.\n\nIn some respects yes very, because think of all the medical advances that have come about because of technology.  Think about the fact that we can now travel to the moon, take pictures of distant planets, fly across the ocean in a matter of hours instead of taking days,weeks,or even months.\n\nSo Yes, technology has helped us in many ways, but as with everything there is a downside.\n\nNow everyone wants you to multitask, which doesn't mean you get anything done any faster or better.  You can't take your time and focus on one thing, instead there are emails to write, text messages to respond back to, voice mail to check, and phone calls to return.  \n\nThere are computer crashes and freezes, which take time out of your day, when you could've had your work done had the computer not froze or crashed.\n\nThere are people who no longer have a job because they are replaced by a machine, or they don't understand how to use the machine.  So, now maybe they can't feed their families or keep a roof over their head anymore.\n\nOn the downside of technology we are really moving towards having only rich and poor, and the poor will simply *NOT* be able to keep up with the rich when it comes to learning about technology and being able to use the most updated products, and since for good or ill technology is now a requirement of most workplaces, if you can't keep up again you may be out of a job.\n\nTechnology has given us wonderful things such as the microwave, but has also given us horrible things such as the Atomic bomb.  \n\nThe problem is not technology in and of itself, it's that humans cannot seem to control the technology that they invent.  \n\nTechnology has to be created and used in a responsible manner, and humans should always not lose sight that their first responsibility should be to the other humans, animals and plants that they share this planet with.\n\nIf people would keep all of that in mind, and put that first, instead of putting money, and the technology itself first; we would probably move forward with better technology that will help make our lives better.\n\nAs it stands right now, we have technology that makes are lives better and worse at the same time.

Actually a man named Ray Kurzweil (something of a big name in these circles) has been writing about this very topic for the past twenty years. Kurzweil is a researcher, inventor, and developer of computer electronics as well as the recipient of a couple presidential awards. Furthermore he is a published author of numerous books and articles regarding technology and human interactions with technology. \n\nOne of the things that he points out is that computers are becoming more and more sophisticated and capable of carrying out more and more computations at faster and faster rates with the passing of each year. That’s not to say that your machine is doing this, but that we’re creating computers that are faster and able to hold more information constantly. As a result we’re rapidly approaching a time when computers are going to be as capable of processing information as the human brain. According to some of his predictions we should be first seeing these advanced machines within the next ten to fifteen years. And with market demands in the US being what they are, the price on these machines will have a tendency to steadily decrease as the technology for making these computers becomes cheaper and more readily available. As a result we as a public may end up owning one of these smarter computers within the next twenty years. \n\nThere are two additional points that he makes though: It will also be likely that research into increasing computer speeds as well as processing, memory storage and retrieval probably wont stop at the point of having a computer that’s as ‘intelligent’ as the human mind. Also, with the aforementioned decline in prices in creating these smarter computers and technology making the production of these machines easier, we may find these computers cropping up in smaller and smaller packages and in more and more things. As a result, we could possibly find ourselves surrounded with this technology quite easily. \n\nI’m not trying to paint a Matrix looking future, but it is possible that we may find ourselves outnumbered by our machines, so we had better have a good idea of what we’re doing when we create them.

technology is and will continue to change the world. It is going to bring an end to the world that we have known - but it is going to lead us into a new world.

There are pros and cons in adopting technology in your workplace. With technologies especially information technology and telecommunication, people can stay connected easily no matter wherever and whenever they're via telephone, internet, wireless connection, bluetooth, broadband, telecommuting, webcam and videoconferencing. So, it could increased the effectiveness and efficiency of employees.\n\nTechnology help people to do multiple jobs in the same time such as videoconferencing. A mom could work from home while taking care of her babies. Of course, it saves time and place. Why ?. Through internet, we can contact across the globe much more easier, faster and even cost less money than going abroad. That's why nowadays, some colleges conduct distant learning courses. Some organisation, didn't need a big building, a website could do and it's called virtual office. They could work by mobile phone while driving and even key in datas while cooking.\n\nWhen, there are technologies such as better plants and machineries, the production will increased in shorter period and of course, higher production will reduced cost of the products. There are so many positive things that you could track down here and nevertheless the negative sides but, I guess, technological advancement help us a lot.

What technology?\nBoth of what? benefit and exploitation?\nCould you ask again in the form of a question?\n-->

I believe they are being surrounded by lots of technology but they are definitely not in a bubble in the sense that, the technology we see today bring real benefits to it's users and our reliance and our children's reliance on it will only continue to grow. Technology and it's evolution is here to stay :-)

technology has great influece on the education system.\nchildren has access to knowledge...easier and faster... but this make students lazier...as in the case of plagiarism... it is undeniable that technology had make communication easier but it do increase the number of crime or more commonly known as cybercrime.....involving students and children\nbut i personally think that if technology is used in a good way....that is searching information, enchance communication...... in education then....it is good....

It's like asking what's the meaning of life.\nReally.\nInformation Technology (not just computers themselves, but networking gear, all the applications, telephony, and mostly, they people enabling all of this junk, etc...) have re-invented the way business functions.\n\nIn a word, IT keeps making the impossible possible.\n\nThere are, of course, some negatives that I have seen over the years:\na) IT for the sake of IT.  In some cases, people forget that IT must serve business\nb) inappropriate uses of technology.  I constantly see guys sending hundreds of emails back and forth, instead of just getting in a conf room and hashing it out.\nc) constant security threats that were not existent at such a scale before.  I'm talking about hackers and having to deal with them\n\nThat should do for now :)

Modern technology in some instances would be used to speed training and provide better results. \n\nFor example, I can get on my computer and literally find an answer to any question or information on any topic I choose, whereas in a non technological environment, it may prove to be difficult or near impossible to quickly learn some things, as in (The hard way). \n\nIn summation, your statement refers to dull witted and unhealthy beings, I hardly find technology to be at fault here, more like pour upbringing and substandard  public school results . . . . . . . .wouldn't you agree?\n\nDarryl S.

Technology has made our world so much smaller. It is through this wonderful thing called the internet that we are able of discuss religion with monks in tibet and rock music with hippees in england all without leaving our homes.\nTechnology has allowed us to keep a close knit family relationship cheaply and more easily despite the impedances of distance. Through advances such as webcams and cellular phones I am able to talk to my dad in California for a fraction of what it would have cost just ten years ago.\nTechnology is modelling our society into one without boundaries. It is ever bringing us closer to one another. Whether we want to be close or not.

Nothing keeps us from living our lives; we just choose to not interact with the world.\n\nTechnology is a wonderful thing, and when it works properly, it frees us from life's mundane details so we can enjoy the important parts more.\n\nYet here we are, engaging in some solitary quest to entertain ourselves thru responding to other's questions and answers.\n\nAs for me, my wife and I are taking down the Christmas tree, listening to some familiar and unfamiliar music, and laughing and talking about everything I'm finding here.  So maybe there's some hope for me...

Information and technology is of great help in business in terms of productivity because it can hasten the production and other business matters. Like the invention of machineries, computers, etc.

I guess so, the powers of technology :-)
