disadvantages of modern technology
- 2. Technology is the making, modification, usage, and knowledge of tools, machines, techniques, crafts, systems, and methods of organization, in order to solve a problem, improve a pre-existing solution to a problem, achieve a goal, handle an applied input/output relation or perform a specific function. It can also refer to the collection of such tools, including machinery, modifications, arrangements and procedures. Technologies significantly affect human as well as other animal species' ability to control and adapt to their natural environments. The term can either be applied generally or to specific areas: examples include construction technology, medical technology, and information technology.
- 3. Technology can be viewed as an activity that forms or changes culture. Additionally, technology is the application of math, science, and the arts for the benefit of life as it is known. A modern example is the rise of communication technology, which has lessened barriers to human interaction and, as a result, has helped spawn new subcultures; the rise of cyber culture has, at its basis, the development of the Internet and the computer. Not all technology enhances culture in a creative way; technology can also help facilitate political oppression and war via tools such as guns. As a cultural activity, technology predates both science and engineering, each of which formalize some aspects of technological endeavor. Technology can be most broadly defined as the entities, both material and immaterial, created by the application of mental and physical effort in order to achieve some value. In this usage, technology refers to tools and machines that may be used to solve real-world problems. It is a far-reaching term that may include simple tools, such as a crowbar or wooden spoon, or more complex machines, such as a space station or particle accelerator. Tools and machines need not be material; virtual technology, such as computer software and business methods, fall under this definition of technology.
- 5. Modern society has a staggering number of technological gizmos and mechanical gadgets at its disposal, from airplanes to iPhones. However, while these advancements have brought new aspects of health, freedom and enjoyment, there are also disadvantages to a society so completely reliant upon them. Today's youth is exposed to digital technology to a degree previously unseen. Modern technology can become an invisible but integral part of their lives. Since technological literacy is almost a requirement for employment these days, this digital lifestyle can be often advantageous, but technology can be a double-edged sword.
- 6. With the advancement in latest technology, we have to face many disadvantages out of the benefit of modern technology such as a stress factor, hectic life, fear of nuclear war, cyber crime and high growth of eye disease, increase of body weight and new transportation technology which has brought pollution and congestion in major cities. As we all know that we have entered an era of new/ modern technology world which is equipped with super technology software through which we can work without employing person power. On the other side, a new technology invented by the scientists have armed them with a technology which can destroys a city in seconds with mere pushing of a button. Similarly, the advance technology has created thousand of cases of cyber crimes, cheating and fraud which is making our life likes hell. Beside it is driving our children towards the danger zone where they are getting materials which are harmful for them. But despite knowing the side affects of these technologies, we are now making ourselves fully dependant on it.
- 8. WE HAVE STEPPED IN THE 21ST CENTURY AND THE WORLD HAS GIVEN US SOME UNBELIEVABLE TECHNOLOGY THAT SOMETIME ITSEEMS TO A DREAM.BUT WHEN WE LOOK AT THE BACKSIDEOF THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY FOR OUR DESTRUCTION IF WRONGLYUSED BY WRONG PEOPLE.
