Digital technology refers to electronic tools and systems that process and store data, including social media, games, apps, and mobile devices. The first tools used by humans were made of stone, wood, and bones over 10 million years ago, while the first digital computer, the Word, was created on February 14, 1947 with a total cost of around $487,000. Technology plays an important role in our lives by helping with schoolwork, communication, and research through computers and the internet, speeding up the learning process. While technology provides advantages like improved communication, data storage and analysis, and access to information, it also presents disadvantages such as implementation costs, security issues, job loss, and increased dependency.
