Breaking your relationship
Technology cannot only affect your health and time but it can also affect to your relationship. People are spending most of their time in using technology and gadgets instead of interacting with their friends and family. As a result, the time for their relative and circle was lessen and decrease their social skills.

Now, it has a lot of changes, by simply typing the information that you need you can write the information immediately because it will appear on your screen instantly.
It can make our work easier
Generally speaking, technology can makw our work easier. In our studies, works, communication even finding jobs! Nowadays most of the jobs that we will find needs a technology to work. There are freelancers who really need an internet to work, the call center agents where they need a telephone to communicate on their clients and many more!
Also, there are different factories out there where the machines are working with the help of technology.
