How does technology complicate our lives




















Pieces of technology, like e-mail, chats, project management tools and other means of communication increased our productivity, making the distance and time zones irrelevant. Technology has not left a single aspect of our lives untouched. With the usage of smartphones and the internet, we are easily exposed to digital advertisements. Nowadays, owing to the rise of digital technology, online marketing and connected devices, advertising has become a lot easier and comfortable, especially for smaller businesses and startups.

We can easily promote our business online to billions of people worldwide or search for products and services at the click of a button or swipe of a finger. Technology has impacted the travel industry in a huge way. There are Google Maps, Google Earth, Navigon and dozens of similar apps which the user can operate and use as per their convenience. Moreover, technology has changed business models in the travel sector, such as car rentals and taxi services.

It is predicted that there will be more upcoming changes in the transportation and travel sector on major levels. With the rise of informal education and skills requirements, people had to get more tech-savvy and learn how to search for necessary information on the internet.

Online learning has also become more accessible. You only need a Google or Facebook account, willingness and free time. There are many websites with free courses that can teach you valuable skills required for modern-day jobs. Owing to this, learning and grabbing new information regarding any subject or industry has become way easier for students, which is good for everyone who is curious and ambitious.

Many years ago retrieving data was a very tough process to deal with as people had to scour various physical files and specifically hand-pick the file by narrowing it down. Nowadays, all you need to do is save files on your computer, tablet or mobile phone, and it is accessible from anywhere on the internet. Whenever you need it, you can search for the specific file and within seconds it will be in your hands. Not just it is time-saving, but it also has made information flow significantly easier.

Today, no one can think to spend a life without tech, and whether we accept it or not, technology has become the basic need of our world and we are so dependent on it. If we want to survive in the long run, we all need to stay connected with modern technology and make new steps each and every day. When did relating to others become so complicated? Simple fix: Uninstall social-media apps from your phone. Use them only from tablets or the home computer — for limited periods of time.

And then walk away until the next time. This could force companies to stop rapid-fire upgrades and might encourage them to build better items that last longer and can be fixed. It may just save us aggravation in the long run.

As such, many people can also reach us. We could be outside on the most beautiful, cloudless degree day, in the most picturesque park on the planet, and what would we be doing? Crouching over our phones and tablets or posting pictures of the park — and never actually enjoying it. Kids have YouTube channels.

High school principals tweet the daily activities. Simple fix: Lock your phone or tablet, and create a complicated unlock sequence. If four digits is too easy, make it six.

If six digits becomes too simple, make it eight. There are so many things you can do from your phone — securing rides, balancing checkbooks, ordering groceries and clothing — we literally never have to move to get our business done, which is scary. There is less room for human error where technology is concerned, because we naturally make mistakes. Examples include space travel , mining or fuel exploration, whereby AI powered machines can perform difficult or sometimes impossible human tasks with no rest periods.

In the medical field, AI and other advanced technology such as bio printing and radiosurgery is on the up. Algorithms can help doctors assess patients and their health risks, while surgery simulators use machine intelligence in training medical professionals.

Communication is now easier than ever too. We can send a message, photo or video to someone across the globe, in a different time zone in seconds. We can connect with old friends, family and brands over social media. Equally, we can promote our business online to billions of people worldwide or seek products and services at the click of a button or swipe of a finger. Learning has also become more accessible. Have a question? One of the main disadvantages of AI is the cost incurred in the maintenance and repair of such technology.

Programs need to be continually updated to suit changing requirements. A key concern of AI and other technology is ethics and moral values.

Is it ethically correct to create replicas of human beings? Intelligence makes our species stand out, in which case, is it right to install that intelligence into a machine to make it work for our benefit? Machines do not have any emotions or moral values. They perform what is programmed and cannot make the judgment of right or wrong. They either perform incorrectly or breakdown in such situations. Moreover, while machines can store large amounts of data and perform repetitive tasks over time, they do not get better with experience, as humans do.

Additionally, while data storage is more efficient and no physical files means reduced danger of physical damage or loss, there is the risk of data being stolen or getting into the wrong hands.
