Benefit of Technology and how it is changing societies

   When I think about technology and its role in the world I live in, the first thing to think about is how easy it is for me to communicate with all my family and friends who are living 8,176 miles (about 13158 km). Chatting, listening to their voice or being able to see them on video call for all these years that I lived far away from them and still able to connect is amazing. From sending gifts to attending meetings from my computer, sitting half the world away made my life easier. 

Our way of communication, expressing our values and stories both individually and as a society changed with technology. Technology helped and changed society in all aspects. One of the area technologies changed is learning. The use of radio transmitters in 1937 to reach students in the outbreak of polio and internet learning at the time of covid-19 lockdown are two big examples that shows how technology is helping and changing the way society reacts when crises happen.

Information technology is changing everything. Businesses are becoming increasingly digital to increase profit and expand their business. They can track and analyze the trend in the customers demand with technology tools for better planning, business strategies and profit. Today, collages are offering online classes to meet students need. Information technology is transforming and changing our interaction, communication, and the way we do business activities.

As Martin Wolske explained on the A Person-Centered Guide to  “The mutual
shaping of social and technical components is highly complex and as seen, unseen, and unforeseen positive and negative impacts on individuals and the things that they value being and doing. We shape them and we are shaped by them. Others shape them and are shaped by them. And yet, too often we miss seeing inside the black box that
we are an active part of, even if we don’t know we are.”  We are changing with it.
