You need to be more specific.\nThomas Edison phonograph >evolved into 78rpm recordings > 33 1/3 rpms > 45 rpms > 8 track tapes > cassettes > Cd's > DVDs > MP3s > ipods, etc. \nAutos? Check out "Fast Food Nation" ( forgot author). The story of how each affected the other. \nNuclear power after steam boats.   \nThe Wright brothers to satellites. Specifics. The internet is a fascinating topic in itself. We have more info on our desk top than Henry Ford had in his life time. We can talk to, or see more people in one day than many did in their lives. Think specific questions.

In my opinion, technology (of all types, although I believe you were referring to information technology) used in business has primarily benefited consumers by giving them a greater choice of products, and greater visibility into the quality of those products, and it has led to great advances in product safety and into our health.

Technology, general term for the processes by which human beings fashion tools and machines to increase their control and understanding of the material environment. The term is derived from the Greek words tekhnē, which refers to an art or craft, and logia, meaning an area of study; thus, technology means, literally, the study, or science, of crafting.\n\nMany historians of science argue not only that technology is an essential condition of advanced, industrial civilization but also that the rate of technological change has developed its own momentum in recent centuries. Innovations now seem to appear at a rate that increases geometrically, without respect to geographical limits or political systems. These innovations tend to transform traditional cultural systems, frequently with unexpected social consequences. Thus technology can be conceived as both a creative and a destructive process.

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.

Your thesis should have a relationship between two things. It may be the change in technology's effects on common student problem. You need to give more information about your paper.

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.

Due to the introduction of technology, you need less manpower and more machine power. This introduction of technology will lead to unemployment and is thus called as technological unemployment.

There are several topics that have a social impact and comp. sci related:\n\n1) Open source technologies and how they are benefitting/harming business, society, culture. \n\n2) Is computer science an elitist science and can it/should it be made more accessible? How would such accessibility be possible?\n\n3) As technologies grow and advance, how are we humans growing advancing? As in, are we changing technology or is technology changing us?\n\n4) What would happen if the entire world could connect to the internet? Would this spread more good or more evil?\n\n5) Why is the pick-up of new technology slow? How come when a better solution exists, people continue to go with the older worse one?\n\n6) Is the emergence of computer technology in every field a good thing? This esp. if people lose their jobs because of computers taking over their work. \n\nI could think of quite a few more, but have to go. \n\nGood luck!

Yes, I can truly say that technology made us (at least the majority of us) live better, cleaner and in improving conditions of life, greater lifespan and have a better entertaining time.  \nNevertheless  the technology was always put in front of every thing stepping on what Nature gave us and stepped even on the Nature itself. Only when was absolutely obvious that the destruction of the environment is endangering the very essence of our lives, life that technology tries to improve entering in this way into a paradox. \nIn essence technology actually helps even to remedy the mistakes made in the past with  the same technology that made the destruction of the Nature, and....so on. \n\nIs a continuous loop I believe which should never stop, because if the progress stops, the problems remained unsolved, will increase, and if the destruction will continue...will not be for a long time, and even the human kind will perish, under the phrase "Technology makes your every day life better".\n\nAnd that's not all I have to say\nDfriend:)

Electronic means of communication has brought the entire world closer together.  First, it was the telegraph, then telephone and now the internet.  Communication is what makes the world go around and the tools we have invented over the past 100 years helped us grow and evolve to where we are today.

Technology is a way of doing something.  It could be a process, a procedure or method that may or may not involve tools (technics).  When we say our technology is developing or improving, it could mean several things:\nOur methods are becoming more efficient or effective\nOur tools are getting better\nWe are teaching our technology better.

I think so.  I think most of modern technology brings stress along with its benefits.  After all, it used to be you could get away from the telephone, the television, and the stereo: now you carry them with you.  I check my email several times a day; if it was only snail mail, once a day would be enough.  Things change faster, and even the rate of change is accelerating.  Remember Alvin Toffler's "Future Shock" book?  I'd like to get a copy of that now, to see how accurate his predictions were.  It is my impression that the reality is even scarier than the predictions that scared me so bad when I was in college!

There is a book called "The Twilight of American Culture" which talks about technology causing people to lose sense of national identity and kind of meld into a one world culture.\n\nIt's a pretty interesting read. The author is Morris Berman.

New Technology is Great as well as Bad.\n\nWhen it comes to great, you can perform complex things very easily. There are entertainment and other stuff that can be easily achieved by the use of new emerging technologies.\n\nWhen it comes to the bad side, you get several privacy issues where a legitimate user is blackmailed by an ethical hacker and blackmailed. There are also crimes that start through technology. (e.g. Chatting).\n\nSo, it is us, who have to prioritize the technology according to our needs and gain the maximum benefit.\n\nBYE

well technology  didnt just happen over 100 years. We had a lil help. We went from having hardly crap and now computers,cell phones, and that damn tv. making people lazier then hell. right now there working on developing a chip that they plant into ur brain thats somthing like the internet. Where u can chat wit other people just by thinkin about it and even listening to music (also makes it easier for the government to keep track of everybody). thats going to make people fatter then hell. Everybody will just stay at home and do nothing all day long. And a benefit of all this technology is that we hardly have to lift a finger anymore.
