The Impact of Technology on the Society

Over the past two years, technology has greatly impacted on the modern society in terms of ways of life and world trends. Technological advancements have improved life in medicine, production, manufacturing and communication among others. Let us explore some of these aspects that have seen improvements. Advancements in technology has seen more positive impacts on production, communication, transport, online commerce, medicine and payment methods among many other areas.

One of the technological developments that have improved life is artificial intelligence. Over the last two years, the use of artificial intelligence has improved manufacturing and computerized automation of basic operations at home and in industries. The same technology is applied in the production and manufacturing industry through improved robotics and remote sensing of agricultural and production conditions.

Another impact of technology is in the field of medicine through advanced medical procedures and medical diagnosis. In addition to artificial intelligence, the development of nanotechnology has led to breakthroughs in the manipulation of matter for medical use.

Nanotechnology is a technological advancement that manipulates matter for specific use through manipulation of atoms and molecular structures and function. This way, medical procedures that could be done physically have been replaced with more specific nanotechnology procedures in the areas of medicine.

Communication has significantly improved through the technological advancements that have taken place in last two years. The development of wireless communication technology between objects has advanced communication between gadgets and machines. For instance, headphones these days do not need to have the cord, they are just wireless Bluetooth headphones. Another example is on transport, where, driving will be made safer in the future through the development of car-to-car communication to prevent accidents.

Another area where technology has impacted positively is on the marketplace. Over the last five years, growth in the market has been witnessed on the digital markets. Big companies like Amazon and Alibaba are expanding the market where more people are buying ans selling online. In addition, there are smaller websites that are educating people on things to buy. For instance, when you see to buy noise cancelling headphones for an elderly, you just need to check reviews online and buy the recommended one at no cost. Previously, you would have to spend days looking for the best choice.

At the same time, modes of payment have greatly increased and revolutionized by technology. Paying these days has turned cashless and soon, using real money will be a thing of the past. Through technology, no one needs to carry hard cash. In fact, the use of mobile phones to make payments through swipe technology will improve the buying of things, making transactions much faster and safer.

While on one side, technology has changed the lives of people, the same development has changed life in the negative. The use of technological advancements above has to be regulated to impact people positively. For instance, nanotechnology can be used for serious harm to people. At the same time, unregulated use of communication between devices can lead to fraud, especially when it comes to transaction. Despite this possibility, technology has greatly impacted life to the better, especially through advancements in the last two years.
