What are the benefits of technology?

 

Advantages of Technology on Our Lives

1. Ease of Access to Information

The World Wide Web, abbreviated as www has made the world a social village. This is because information from all around the globe is widely available on the internet.

While most of the news you get to see on social media is purely factual, one may also see image results for particular news. Not only more news is available, but all such information is also straightforward to access.

All thanks to modern technology (and computer giants like Dell, IBM, Apple, etc.).

One can get to read a book in the comfort of their bed and a cup of coffee. EBooks are available on the internet for this purpose. The modern technology has replaced radios with televisions, and now even televisions have been digitised to “LCD’s” and “LED’s”.

Efforts are underway to create more reliable sources of information. All this is possible only because of technology.

2. Saves Time

Have you ever faced navigation problems in an unfamiliar town? Yes, we all have faced such issues when we move to a new place. Be it a business trip or a vacation; modern technology allows you to enjoy your outings by helping you navigate to anywhere.

One can search for a particular place and then even pinpoint their specific destination. The application itself does rest.

It won’t even let you miss a single turn, and nowadays it even shows you the traffic situation on your route.

3. Ease of Mobility

Ever imagined your life without a car or a bike? Surely not because technology has placed these things under our foot.

The importance of a vehicle can easily be judged from the fact that the distance between the United States of America and Australia is nearly 15,187 kilometres but you can travel just in 16-17 hours.

Even less than in a day and believe me, you won’t be ever regretting these 16-17 hours of your life. Airplanes, electric trains and cars which are being improvised every single day have made all this possible.

4. Better Communication Means

It is a fact that modern technology has replaced old technology. And we cannot imagine our lives without this replacement. Letters were the most common mean of communication less than a century ago, but now no one would even think of writing a letter because why prefer a parchment on a video call?

Instant messaging and sharing of photos and videos was never so easy before.

We have to accept that it’s only the use of technology, which makes it harmful otherwise nothing can beat the level of comfort in our lives because of technology.

5. Cost Efficiency

One of the main goals of technology includes making things cheaper and more affordable for people. Therefore, people see cost efficiency these days due to technology.

The machinery of great benefit is available for so less price that we cannot imagine.

More often competition takes place between two or more industries which results in even lesser prices.

6. Innovation In Many Fields

Technology has truly resulted in digitisation and modernisation in many fields. Either it is the field of medicine or farming or electronics, technology has resulted in a global revolution.

Better techniques in farming have resulted in more and healthier food. The technique of “layer farming” takes even less space and produces more food.

The better health of animals guarantees more yield of dairy and poultry products. The health sector has also benefited a lot from technology boom. Even the incurable diseases like cancer have a proper cure now.

There are so many other fields also which cannot survive without the backbone of technology.

7. Improved Banking

Less than a decade ago no one ever thought that they would be paying in bitcoins rather than dollars. Cryptocurrency has recently got viral because of its usefulness.

No one would now have to wait in the long line of banks just for paying their utility bills.

8. Better Learning Techniques

Bring some fun to your classroom. You can improve your teaching skills and integrate scientific methods to bring motivation to your students. Many software and electronic gadgets are introduced to help students with their education.

The simplest example of a calculator can amaze a person. Multiple calculations and various binary operations, the answer comes with just a click.

9. Disable-d, Are Now Able-d

Modern science and technology have now made nearly everything possible. Recently, brails which works on electronic pulses have been invented. Artificial foot, smart sticks and what not is invented.

Disabled are no more disabled. They are surely in the long run of success along with the normal ones.

10. Artificial Intelligence

The new concept of artificial intelligence is growing up fast, and it is gaining much popularity. The reason behind is that this might bring a whole new era of revolution.

No humans would have to think anymore because the possibilities are that an AI System would be able to think about how to improve it. This would give a break to the human generation and probably one of the greatest favour of modern technology on us.
