Ways in Which Technology Has Changed Over the Years Due to Technology

Is today’s technology a positive advancement? Over the past few years technology has taken over society. Computers are a magnificent feat of technology and growing necessity in the world we live in today. They have grown from simple calculators to machines with functions that are vastly outgrowing the human mind. Computers have become so common that almost every home has at least one computer, and schools find them a good source for information and education for their students. Computers have created new careers and eliminated others and have left a huge impact on our society. The invention of the computer has greatly affected the arts, the business world, and society and history in many different areas. Some examples are the computer, television, cell phone, and video game systems. Technology has changed the way we communicate with emails and other social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Technology has influenced people and their daily lives, some better than others. Technology has made an impact on the retail business. People no longer need to leave their house to purchase almost anything from clothing to even food to be delivered right to your door by ordering everything online. Technology has enhanced education in schools (this is an online course after all). Teaching has become easier as well as a result as technology; teachers can now email the students their homework, eliminating the paper trail along with the old excuse of "my dog ate my homework" for forgetting it at home. Instead of kids receiving a text book in school they now get iPads complete with all the textbooks downloaded to it already. Programs created by Microsoft have tremendously improved education, work can be done a lot faster and more effective. Computers have made job searching and getting a job stress-free. The days of job searching door to door are over. People
