What is technology and its benefits and disadvantage?

"Technology" is defined as the practical application of knowledge, though the term is often used to mean other things.\n\nThe benefits of applying knowledge practically? ... hmmmm Well, it's better than applying it impractically - or not applying it at all - or applying stupidity (either practically or impractically).\n\nThe disadvantage of applying knowledge practically? I honestly see none - sounds quite knowledgeable and practical to me (in an applied kind of way).

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.

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.

Technology.\n\nIronic that something that was created to quickly access knowledge in a convenient way has served to take away from learning as well.\n\nLet me explain....\n\nOur students have been experiencing ADD in higher numbers. One finding in research is that we have become a "push button" society. Children are "plugged in" and "unplugged" numerous times during a day. At one time it was the fault of a "remote control" of a tv that allowed people to surf through numerous channels looking for the right show to stimulate their needs. Now let's not only add the TV to the picture but include the internet. They may have four or five windows open jumping from email to answers to a game to chat site back to their homework. If one doesn't give them the stimuation needed they hop to another and to another. Click to this and back to that.......get bored.....move to next window.\n\nIn addition, students have lost the art of using books for research. They "google" or use wikipedia and rely on answers fed to them from sites that aren't always as reliable as documented print in books. Oh sure.....there are many wonderful sites out there too. Don't get me wrong. But it is not enough to just "google." Students really need to master researching skills and technology has enabled quick access but at a price of accuracy. \n\nWriting is suffering as well. Students are found writing papers in "chatonese." For example:\n\n"This book is the one 4 u! It is so hilarious that I was lol. J/K!" \n\nTeachers can teach writing in brilliant forms. However, if students continually chat on the net in chat speak, it becomes a habit that is hard to break in school.\n\nTechnology is a wonderful thing! But I fear that learning has become "easier" for children. Part of the learning process is taking responsibility for your learning rather than expecting an answer to be fed to you via the net. I'm very anxious about seeing where technology will progress positively in the class room.

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....

Are you suggesting that with improving technology we are living less long?\nIf so I can think of nowhere to find evidence to say you are correct.\nGenerally, improving technology goes hand in hand with greater lifespans, although the relationship is far from causal in every case.

Every Invention has got both advantages and disadvantages\n\nInvention is just like a knife with two sharp edged one good and other bad

The difficulty is that technology only gives the power to change. It takes humans to decide which direction to change. Those that love power will use the technology to extend their power rather than to help others. There *have* been many advances made in the treatment of illnesses. Nobody today dies of smallpox. Nobody gets crippled by polio. Nobody goes deaf from mumps. Places with famines can get food shipped in to them.\n\nIn the past, if a crop failed (and this was common), people starved to death. Every place on earth was subject to this fear every year. Even the kings would have the fear of going without at times. Diseases were common and women died regularly in childbirth.\n\nSo, yes, there are diffciulties made by technology, but there are benefits also. The problem is people, not the technology.

The many levels of technology have done amazing things to businesses the list is pretty long but here are the main ones:\n1. Real time communication of customers/employees/systems and other things allow better control of inventory and orders.\n2. More creative reporting tools to streamline productivity.\n3. Sharing data among different areas. (Example - accounting shares data with human resources).\n4. The ability to sell items over the internet as well as out of an actual store.\n\nThere are other areas as well but this just gives you an idea of how technology (Cell Phones - Computers - Internet - GPS and other systems) has changed to face of businesses.

Blessing.  Certainly there are problems to solve, but those problems will be solved by further technology, not by banning what we already have.  \n\nIt would be possible to provide a long list of the benefits of technology in the modern world, but I will cite a single example:  modern communication technology allows me, a complete stranger, to answer your question.  We never had anything in the past like the information tool we have now in the internet.  No matter how good a library one had available, it would still take a lot of time and know-how to research every question.  Now, it's all here at your fingertips.\n\nAsk any modern physician how many of his patients would have been worse off ten years ago, let alone fifty.  Ask any research scientist what has happened in his field as a result of modern technology.  The world does not stand still, and we cannot make it do so.\n\nRemember, nothing is an unmixed blessing.  Certainly the internet brings its own problems, but so did the technology of the crossbow!
