TECHNOLOGY 1.1 Introduction In this modern era everything uses a technology. Theres a lot of useful devices that could makes our lives easier. Theres a lot of things we can do with modern technology such as listening to music, watch, ordering a food, call someone, and many else. We have a device that could access almost all information in the world and almost can do anything that could make life easier with internet. Before modern technology, theres an era called the medieval era. they use horse to travel, use birds to communicate from far away, people use swords and shields to fights, and else. Theres also an era called the victorian era, people already use a car and motorbike to travel, use telephone to communicate from far away, and they use guns to fight. In this victorian era is where many inventions are born such as telephone, lamp, car, motorbike, planes, and tv. They evolved to many things and becomes the one that we see and use everyday, telephone becomes smartphone that we all use, lamp becomes so relevant that it used anywhere, car, motorbike, and planes become so advance that theres a tv inside those things, and for tv you can even touch the screen on the tv and watch something. Not many people use tv anymore because they got an app called youtube and you could watch almost anything there. 1.2 formulation of the problem what is the meaning of technology what is the advantage and disadvantage of modern technology how will the technology evolve in the future what is the effect if the technology evolve drasticly in the future 1.3 Purpose of writing The purpose of this paper is to increase people knowledge about the technology and to tell people the benefits technology. [Type text] Page 1 Formulation of the Problem 2.1 What is the meaning of technology technology is the use of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, whether in an industry, office, or everyday lives. We use technology to do many things in our daily lives. We use technology to simplify and to make life easier. We use technology to extend our abilities as a human, making us the most crucial part of any technology system. We use technology at almost everything we do in our lives. We use technology for transportation, work, communication, learning, and much more. Technology is a human knowledge that involves tools, systems, and materials. Technology is a very important that it could be very dangerous if used wrongly and could cause malicious problem to the world. Many business use technology to compete with others. They create new product that use high end technologies and every product that they produce keep getting more advanced, that proves technology never stop evolving. Here is an example of people doing something using technology [Type text] Page 2 2.2 What is the advantage and disadvantage of technology Technology so far has bring positive things to humans, but there are some side effects that technology brings to humans. Here are some advantages and disadvantages of technology. ADVANTAGES OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY: Easy to access information Accessing information has been pretty easy since the internet is created. You can get the information you want in a matter of second and by just using your smartphone, so if you are currently in a train,plane, car and many more places, you could just open your smartphone and get the information you want. You can even buy something by using your smartphone in your bedroom so you don’t have to go to the store, that’s how easily information can be accessed nowadays. There are lots of information in the internet, sites like Wikipedia,Youtube have a lot of information that you might need. Increases innovation and creativity Technology seems infinite and with technology our brain can achieve its full potential. In the past, its used to be very difficult to start a business because internet hasn’t been invented and its hard to get some information business, today its rather easy to start a business because the internet is here. We can use the application called Tokopedia and we can just start selling stuff there, and if there is a lot of costumers, we could just sell more and more unique stuff so tha people would be interested in our things and start liking our store. That way could increase our creativity and innovation because we sell more unique stuff. Another examples is mr beast planting 20 million trees, mr beast is a famous youtuber that had an idea to create a website and calling all people and youtuber to start planting a trees and it go so well and right now theres 15 million trees have been planted. [Type text] Page 3 Increase in communication skill Communication is a really important thing in our lives, we cannot progress in our lives without communication. Modern technology has blessed us with advanced communication technology. These invention like phones, email, social networking has made our communication far easier than before. We could even communicate with someone that’s really far away like in a different country. you could even talk to someone using a video call so its like a face to face but its far away. Improved in mobility and transportation Modern technology has made travelling so easy. Transportation is an important part in our business world. Long time ago travelling far away would be hard and takes a long time to reach like if you wanna go to other country, you would use a boat and it takes around 5-6 days to reach your destination, nowadays it only takes 1-2 hours on a plane because of how technology of transportation has evolved and become so advanced. [Type text] Page 4 Improved lifestyle and housing Technology has also improve comformtability in houses. If you compare the house long time ago and houses now, the difference is enourmous. Now we has more simplified design of houses and many furniture that could make us really relax at home. Some of the items in our houses are automated such as automated doors, using fingerprint for doors, cctv, Bluetooth for speakers in our home. Our lifestyle also getting better, we woke wanting to eat breakfast, just toast a bread in a toaster, and if we want to watch tv we could even open it with our voice and it will activate on it self. Cooking also has become more easy because of the advanced technology and we could even work at home by using our laptop so we don’t have to go to our workplace anymore. Improved entertainment Modern technology has improved our entertaintment. Home entertaintment has improved with the invention of smart tv, video game, and music systems. We could even connect to the internet with our smart tv so we can explore many things and watch youtube making a good time at home. For video games there are games that could [Type text] Page 5 connect to the internet and play multiplayer with other player. Entertaintment in the world also has changed drasticly, for example we had 3D on the cinemas, we could ride the scariest, highest rollercoaster.theres even a technology called the virtual reality so its like we play video games and we feel like we are there because our eyes are seeing directly to the screen that is attached to our head. Improved education system Learning is a process in our daily lives. The modern technology has made learning easier that before. Students could access online learning in their home without having go to the school, and students could learn anything on the internet anywhere anytime. The educational system on school has made it so easy, every class has a group chat so that the teacher could send their homework there and don’t have to give them one by one the question. New educational system also allowed students to study by themselves so they don’t need a tutor anymore. [Type text] Page 6 DISADVANTAGE OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY: Increased loneliness With the modern technology people love to spend time with theirselves. People playing video games, browsing their social media, almost don’t care about real life at all. Technology has changed our way of interacting with someone else, if you social media account already has 100+ friends, they will feel no need to go out make new friends, which can lead to loneliness. Job loss Modern technology has replaced human jobs. There are advanced machine that could do more that human could ever do and because of that reason they started to fire many people to replace them with machinery in some industry. There are also robots that could actually communicate with people and serve them food on some restaurant [Type text] Page 7 Security Due to the advanced technology, almost everything is attached to the internet, so all your photos and data could be connected to the internet and because of that our privacy and security is lowered. There are some hackers that could steal your credit card data easily on the internet and spend all your money on something leaving you with no money. Hackers nowadays are so smart and skilled that they could even breach the government system data and hacked their system. Weapon of destruction Modern technology has been the cause of wars and they would use more advanced weapons and weapons has evolved and become so powerful and dangerous now. Government has made some weapon that could destroy a city at once and its called [Type text] Page 8 nuclear bomb, if these weapon falls into the wrong hands it would be really dangerous to the country/city. 2.3 How will the technology evolve in the future Technology to this day still developing and evolving faster than ever right now. We already have all kind of advanced technological gadgets with functions of virtual reality, artificial intelligence and else., it is hard to imagine what the future will look like. There are some incredible technological innovations scientists are working on right now and what will change the world within next several years. Everything will be connected to internet In the future most of the things will be connected to each other to ensure that people can control everything with one device. It is already happening right now with smart devices that connected to the internet, but after few years there won’t be devices which can’t be connected through internet. Internet will dominate in everyday lives of human. Homes, cars and appliances will be connected. To ensure that there will be new technology created that able to store energy and serve as electrodes to deliver connectivity. On the bright side thought, if everything is connected to the internet everything would be easier and more simple. For example if you wanna clean your room you could just use a robot connected to the internet to clean it, so by just saying something the robot could clean your room on its own [Type text] Page 9 We could print anything In the nearest future it will really be possible to print out almost anything with 3D printer. That really might sound really funny and you might be thinking how In the hell, but if we think of of 3D printing right now, we might be able to print anything. If right now it is possible to even print out an organs and food, why wouldn’t it be possible to print out everything else. Scientists even claims that whole organism might be printed out in the future, because bio printing technologies are developing very fast. So in short we could even print a living creature in the future, you can print any monster or any creature that you seen in movies and video games and you could even print their heart and brain to give them personality. Human and technology will converge [Type text] Page 10 In movies we have seen this thing called cyborg, those are half human half robot but usually they still has their human heart and brain. In the future we might be able to upgrade ourselves into these kind of thing. We already had google glass that could be our guide in our daily lives and what we see when we wear the google glass are virtual images that could guide us. We also has prostethic arm and leg for people that has lost their limbs, they could replace their lost limbs with technology and they could do their things like usual again. There is already a cyborg in this world, his name is neil harbisson. He is a color blind artist that became the first cyborg in the world and he can see in UV thanks to an antenna like implant that boosts his perception of light and gives him super-senses. 2.4 What is the effect if technology evolve drasticly in the future If technology evolved really fast in the future then there is also a possibility of technology taking over human and the world. We’ve seen in movies about robot that is taking over human like robot actually eradicate human so the human go extinct and robot will rule the world, that is actually possible considering of how fast our technology has evolving. Scientists are actually trying to make a dinosaur by using chemical things and if that works it would either be an amazing thing in the world or the biggest mistake in the world. Scientist also is making AI that is so smart it could even beat human in board games like chess. If we keep developing these technology theres a possibility that robot could take over human and eradicate human leaving human go extinct. There is also a possibilities that the technology that we created is not malfunctioning and will actually help human with their lives. For example we could live together with a robot and [Type text] Page 11 even socialize with the robot and the robot could help us in everyday work so our work would be easier. We could even have a flying car and maybe a flying chair so that we don’t have to walk anymore and anything we wanna do we just have to do it through the screen like if we wanna eat we just have to click the food on the screen and the system will just print out the food and they could even print drinks too for example. But those things could make us really lazy and get really fat too. So there positive and negative effect of future technology. Conclusion 3.1 Conclusion So that we know technology is very important in our lives, we have to use our technology carefully. Technology could make our live easier but if we use it too much it could have resulted differently. So in conclusion technology could bring positive thing to us and at the same time could bring negative things to us if we use it too much. 3.2 Suggestion My suggestion is use technology only when we need it and don’t use it too much because that could make our attitude very lazy.
