The Importance of Technology to Human Life

Introduction: Technology What Is It? General term for the processes

by which human beings fashion tools and Machines to increase their
control and understanding of the material environment. The Term is
derived from the Greek words tekhne, which refers to an art or craft,
and logia, Meaning an area of study; thus, technology means, literally,
the study, or science, of Crafting. As technology evolves, scientist and
historians say that technology grows at A geometric rate without
respect to geographical limits or political systems. These Innovations
tend to transform traditional cultural systems, frequently with
unexpected Social consequences.
Thus technology can be conceived as both a creative and a
Destructive process. Technology Has been evolving with us since the
beginning of the Prehistoric age, from the simplest off tools of the cave
men to the now present future. Electronic fiber optic cables and the
computerized artificial intelligence. Technology is Very important in
our society, with out it we would not be able to survive in our ever
Changing society. Imagine is someone didn't invent transportation.
We would have not Discovered the other continents. Or not having the
technology to cope with our ever Growing population. We would have
run out of enough supply of food to feed ourselves.
How about if cave men didn't discover fire? We would have
not survive even just for a Day. All these things we owe to technology,
so we must harness what it has to offer And further improve our
society. Inventions That Have Changed Our Lives: Telephone: In the
field of communication one of the most famous and useful invention In
our modern society is the telephone. Invented by Alexander Graham
Bell, he has Made our life so much easier and more productive.
Saying that he has made an impact To society would be an
understatement. These telephones transmit electronic pulses That
would then be converted to sound that is comprehendible to us
humans, but T... hese telephones are big and bulky and they need
wires to transmit these pulses. Then Came the invention called A
cellular telephone that designed to give the user maximum Freedom
of movement while using a telephone.
A cellular telephone uses radio signals To communicate
between the set and an antenna. The served area is divided into cells
something like a honeycomb, and an antenna is placed within each
cell and connected by telephone lines to one exchange devoted to
cellular telephone calls. This exchange connects cellular telephones to
one another or transfers the call to a regular exchange if the call is
between a cellular telephone and a noncellular telephone. The special
cellular exchange, through computer control, selects the antenna
closest to the telephone when service is requested. As the telephone
roams, the exchange automatically determines when to change the
serving cell based on the power of the radio signal received
simultaneously at adjacent sites. This change occurs without
interrupting conversation. Practical power considerations limit the
distance between the telephone and the nearest cellular antenna, and
since cellular phones use radio signals, it is very easy for
unauthorized people to access communications carried out over
cellular phones. Currently, digital cellular phones are gaining in
popularity because the radio signals are harder to intercept and
decode. Also the fast growing popular video phones that work like a
normal telephone but includes the ability to transmit videos through
the use of a small camera. although these video phones are not yet
popular in our present society. they will soon be in every home in the
world. Pagers: not all inventions that where once practical remain
practical. one example are the invention of pagers. although these
pagers are still currently used in our society they in my own opinion
have out lived there use. these pagers where used during the early
90s for the reason that they... are more reliable, less expensive and
more portable than a cellphone. but now cellphones are cheaper and
come in sizes that are almost as small as a pager. so these pagers
have out lived there use and are now impractical to use in some
countries. but in the Philippines we have still retained it for they are
"free" compared to a cellphone. Satellite Band Radio (SBR) Satellite
Band Radios are virtually unheard off in our country. these radios are
like normal radios but use satellites to transmit there information
instead of the normal analog radio waves used. the use of these
satellite radios give us better variety in the programs we listen to. and
will infact make the change of information faster and easier from
country to country. for a person will receive same information virtually
at same time as other radios abroad. Internet: internet is a term used
for the interconnection of computer networks that enables connected
machines to communicate directly and transmit data to any place in
the world. in this part of the paper i will talk about the c
