1.0 Introduction
This report will cover up the broad definition of technology, its development and impacts to the modern society. The main purpose of this report is actually to analyze the current developments in technology available in the modern world and to discuss the predicted impacts of the specific current technological developments, either it be positive impacts or negative impacts.
Technology is an equivocal term that can be elaborated based on one’s understanding. Among all the definitions available in the net and book, technology can be defined as the process of modifying, making, using and applying the knowledge of tools, machines, science and mathematical theories, in providing a solution to a specific problem as well as performing a specific function.
Meanwhile, the concept of development is often defined as the growth of a specific process. This term however is an ambiguous term, which has no specific meanings and can be defined with different perspectives. Normally, development is related to the process of adding improvement to a certain project in order to achieve a specific objective that often gives positive impact to developer, target users and environment.
Combining the two terms together, technological development can be defined as the improvement or alteration in the level of modern technologies that is mainly done to change the living standard of people up to a desired stage.
