Effects of Modern Technology on the Life Aspects

Technology is defined as the branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means and their interrelation with life, society, and the environment, drawing upon such subjects as industrial arts, engineering, applied science, and pure science. Has the modern technology helped the people to live better or it has made their lives more complicated? Now a days the world welcomes any idea to improve the technology to which people look forward to make their lives easier in terms of fast communication , easy and comfortable traveling , and good health care treatment ; however ,the loneliness , the sickness, the boredom ,and the world destruction weapons are brought by modern technology too.

The computer, phone, and the internet are the most significant inventions in our life, in which we believe that fit us out for achieving our goals from our seats and getting in touch with each other easily. A web site stated that the internet has changed the whole perspective of the world. It allows just about everything to be completed online, from doing your everyday shopping to doing your banking online. In the past, stock brokers justified their high fees by pointing to the quality of their advice; now knowledgeable amateurs as well as industry experts can trade stock for no charge in web sites. Investors can get advice and market information from many sources other than full-service brokers, so they are less willing to pay a premium just to trade.( The implication of Modern Technology on Financial System ,1-11 ). On the other hand, these inventions give rise to debilitate the relationship among the people .For example using the solo-phones or the Internet to chat with friends sounds amazing and lovely way to keep in touch with them, but what about the strength of the relationship among each other!. It is not as strong as you see them physically. Also the family is no longer use to debate their issues when they sit together. Everyone keeps his attention on the program, miniseries or a game is being watched on the TV or the video game. Consequently, every one becomes socially isolated and prefers to be alone than being with others.

The transportation is another aspect of life has taken a wide field in the technology revolution. Unlike before, now you can travel thousands of kilometers in just hours by planes or trains; moreover, the cars and buses play an important role in urban areas where people need to be in their works on time or reach their visit distention without effort. For example, the ancient cities of Europe were very small in size and had a relatively small population. With the emergence of transportation technology, the sizes of cities and population grew. Also, a web site stated that the rise of the modern city and the rise of transportation technology had a great effect on the people and development of the city. As transportation technology emerged, the boundaries of the city were able to expand by people now having the opportunity to live away from their work. The introduction of the horse and buggy allowed mobility from the city, to the outskirts of the city, and within the city itself. It allowed the radius of the city to grow because the people no longer have to walk everywhere and so with easier accessibility to the city, businesses, and a central area of commerce was created and began to separate residential and businesses. (Modern transportation, 1-10)
Our health “physically and mentally” is also affected by the technology expansion. One point is that some simple devices such as the remote control , the lap top or the video play station, have been developed to provide the easiness in the life. These things let us sitting down all the time , following some given instructions ,away from being playing with the others some real sports or doing an interesting hobby .The other point is the drugs which assuage the pain , control our sleep ,or regulate our shapes ; indeed these things are magic tools that accomplish the change we need in our modes or activities ; meanwhile , according to a web site that stated “Electronic devices and pharmaceutical drugs all have an impact on the micro- cellular structure and complex biochemistry of our brains. And that, in turn, affects our personality, our behavior and our characteristics.” (Greenfield, Susan, 54-60), these tools prevent our bodies from acting naturally and lead to disorder in the hormonic system state .In addition, it is true that modern technology improves the way of treatment like “operations assistant”, but most of the modern illnesses were resulted from some kinds of technology . For instance “Cancer” is due to radioactivity and “Heart Attack” is due to the lack of movement or sports.

Another point is that, although the modern technology enables the people to explore the world and broadens their knowledge about events around the world, it makes the life style sameness. For example, before people have different cultures and traditions like the way they wearing the clothes or building their houses; now, they tend to wear the same fashion of clothes and build the same style of houses. In short our human identity is being alerted by the modern world.

In addition, even more worse and complicated situations in wars and criminal punishments are due to the growth of technology. The world was in peace and quiet. The wars was simple, the only swords and horses were used, by which the situations were compromised with less deaths and pain; now, with the invention of nuclear and atomic bombs, the destruction can be vastly tragedy, and the terrorist can use grenades to attach honest people who have different tendency from their group. What’s more, today capital punishment is typically consummated by lethal gas, injection, electrocution, hanging or shooting. The death penalty is the most controversial penal practice in the modern world. Other harsh, physical forms of criminal punishment- referred to as corporal punishment- have generally been eliminated in modern times as uncivilized and unnecessary. A web site stated” In the majority of countries, contemporary methods of punishment such as imprisonment or fines – no longer involve the infliction of physical pain. Although imprisonment and fines are universally recognizes as necessary to the control of crime, the nations of the world are split on the issue of capital punishment. About 80 nations have abolished the death penalty and an almost unequal number of nations retain it. (Modern Technology, 1-11).
All in all, modern technology is not only providing our lives in many facilities like the speed , the accuracy , and the comfort which saves time and effort, but also gives rise to serious impacts like the change of human identity_ the loneless , boredom and viciousness, and the sicknesses . Unless we are aware and careful of using technology it will destroy our lives.

Body

1st effect: Technology introduces to people more success and easy
achievement.

Being different in life style.

the lack of exercise and the effect of its radioactivity on
Human body.
7rd effect: Technology contribute in the vastly development of the
Complete distraction weapons, and develops the ways of
Capital punishment
