With the Internet, life has become more mobile and communication has become much easier. Almost everything can be done from the comfort of your own home. It has become much easier to understand technology because of the knowledge we have gained over the years and so everyday some new piece of equipment is released. This is due to the fact that we are so knowledgeable in this field that a lot of people acquire jobs in this area. The Internet is also used as a source of entertainment. This shows how technology has an influence on society and that it provides entertainment.
The influence that technology has on society is also a very important thing. Technology increasing is a very beneficial thing for the human race, although it also has a very negative influence on us as well. People have been getting replaced by machines to do certain jobs, which is an advantage because of precision, but a disadvantage because of poverty. Even though there are more people creating the machines, there are more people losing jobs than people gaining jobs:.
With more than 200,000 jobs gone last month, the unemployment rate took its biggest jump in a decade. People have been getting laid off at a rapid rate due to the introduction of new machinery. (Jackson).
Also, cars and plenty of other discoveries have been destroying Mother Nature, while some other kinds of technology have been trying to prevent the destruction as well as help Mother Nature. A very big problem today is that of the ozone. The machines that we operate are very hazardous to our environment as well as our health. CFC's have become a big problem, yet technology has also been trying to dispose of this problem, and has succeeded in some areas. The electric car has been discovered, which has prevented a lot of pollution, but until today, it is still not the standard form of energy. This shows how technology can affect societies by increasing poverty.
