Technology in everyday life (English version)
Technology is now a reality, present in our daily lives. The emergence of the latest tools produced by technology has become the key to the development of societies. Technology allows you to improve production, save time, improve the quality of life, and more.
Used correctly, it improves the quality of people's lives, such as mobile phones, allowing you to communicate with people or receive messages from the other side of the world.
It is also beneficial in many areas, especially for us, in terms of information, as it allows us to improve the organization of work in life (professional and personal), allows us to shorten repetitive tasks, improve internal management, process, deliver and receive more and better individual and collective services.
The importance of science and technology is increasing day by day. The development of modern society, in general, requires the consideration of the results obtained in scientific and technological research. It is a fundamental tool for society as it enables interaction, interconnection, digitalization, and inclusion of different social classes, economies, ways of working, and many others.
Technology in business
The competitive environment in which companies operate forces them to update and invest in new technologies. For this reason, technology is increasingly present in companies through smartphones, tablets, video conferencing, software, applications, and other companies.
Introducing new technology in a company is different from the traditional model. And that amid the digital revolution, companies that do not have new digital tools are losing a lot of ground in the business market. Today it is necessary to adapt to technology and be as modern as possible, other things can bring benefits such as:
- Increasing productivity and competitiveness.
- Reduced production costs.
- Increased security.
- Boosting a company's brand.
Communication technologies
Technology has made communication easier because today it seems mundane to make calls or send messages to someone miles away, but 10 years ago most instant messaging and video calls did not exist or were ineffective.
Today, thanks to the Internet and technological improvements, distances between people are getting shorter. Also in education, it has facilitated access (this may be more noticeable because of the pandemic), such as Google Classroom or Google Meet.
Also noteworthy is the improvement of business communication in the workplace. For example, phone calls or e-mails (electronic which allows employees to send instant messages without interrupting the recipients) between departments to interact with other employees.
It also improves communication with customers and business partners, as information can be shared across multiple channels almost instantly (Whatsapp is the most commonly used medium).
Technology in medicine.
In the field of health protection, technology is of great importance in various fields, positively affecting not only the speed of processes but also human life. You can see it in things like:
- Cloud services, IT security, research software licensing (for research and/or vaccines).
- In a machine that enables movement to assist a person in rehabilitation.
- It provides oxygen to patients who can't do it themselves.
All of these medical technology devices allow us to get the tests, diagnoses, and treatments we need to live a healthy lifestyle. Technology often offers solutions to certain problems. It is a set of resources, processes, or methods that help solve a particular problem in a particular field.
Disadvantages of technology
While technologies, as we have seen, facilitate the development of various aspects of our daily lives, they also have many limitations that need to be considered. Some of them are:
- They can lead to unemployment.
- Information overload in a particular field or subject.
- Privacy and security problems lurk in society with the use of technology.
- Create dependencies.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I believe that technology is visible in all aspects of our life, modern technologies, I believe, fulfill the fundamental task of human development. Although it has its drawbacks, it encompasses all aspects of our lives. After all, we live in a digital age that is changing old habits and replacing basic habits with new ones.
