Technology

What is technology? “Technology is originally a Greek word, consisting of two syllables. The first part: techno, which means craft, skill, or art. As for the second: loggia, it means science or study. Hence, the word technology means performance science or application science.” – www.viralmediaclub.com

Nowadays, technology is present in all fields in life. It’s used at work. For example, many stores now have self-serve machines. We also rely on computers and scanners to scan grocery items and most companies rely on some sort of technology to keep records of files on clients. Technology is also used to make jobs easier. For example, many factories now have machines to do jobs that used to be done by people. Technology is also used for education purposes. Many people now study online. It has been particularly helpful during the current pandemic. Teachers can also use various forms of technology in the classroom to keep students engaged. Technology is also used for transportation and trade and helps us keep with the times. For example, what we do without cars, laptops, TVs and washing machines?

Technology can help society if it’s used correctly. For example, it helps us keep in touch with others through social media and phone apps. However, sometimes it can also hinder society if we use it incorrectly. For example, technology can lead to isolation and depression.

In conclusion, technology can have many advantages and disadvantages depending on how we use it.
