For the past centuries. technology has been evolving very quickly, changing our society into today's society. We can see technology everywhere, when we walk to school or work or when we go shopping, mobile phones spread in everybody's hands; we can see electric cars riding on the road, new buildings built with a brand new architectural technology and many more things.
Thanks to technology, diseases that were incurable five decades ago are now completely eradicated. Medicine has been improving a lot along with technology, which makes it super important to keep a healthy society.
Technology has also made it possible to store food using cold. If we hadn't discovered electricity, we would still be storing meat in containers full of salt. If it weren't for technology, we couldn't be using electricity to its full potential.
Besides these everyday improvements, entertainment has also gained a lot with new tech. For example, video games are now a fun way to spend our free time.
However, technology has also got its downsides. For instance, mobile phones and video games are turning people into extremely sedentary and unhealthy humans. People spend way too much time staring at screens, which is not only bad for their physical health, but also for their socializing skills. Members of the same family no longer talk with each other as often as they used to.
Technology has also started to substitute humans for their jobs, so some people started losing their jobs to machines.
All in all, I believe that technology has huge advantages, but we should be careful with what we can do to mankind in the long term.
