What is technology??
Technology is the electric machines and systems that most people use
daily. Technology has developed a lot during those years, and two
important devices that most people use daily are the cellular and
computer. The strongest advantage that technology can bring us is the
much easier communication, and entertainment.

Technology and our Society
Technology has had and will continue to have a huge impact on
our society. It has changed everything we do today the way we
dress, way we get around, way we communicate, starts trends,
what we do for a living pretty much everything we do has or will
be impacted by technology.

Communication Today
Most people today communicate with other people through
technology more so than in person. A good example of this
would be think of how many times you text people a day and
compare it to how many times you have a face to face
conversation with someone. Most of us will communicate more
through technology.

Some types of technology
Cell phone
Alternatively referred to as a cell, cellular, and cellular phone, a cell phone, which
is also sometimes abbreviated as cp is a mobile phone or portable phone that
enables a user to communicate almost anywhere in the world. The cell phone was
invented by Dr. Martin Cooper who led a team of developers at Motorola and
made the first cell phone call in April 3, 1973 at Motorola.

Internet
The Internet is a global network connecting millions of computers.
More than 100 countries are linked into exchanges of data, news and
opinions. According to Internet World Stats, The internet will have
nearly 3 billion users, about 40 percent of the world's population, by the
end of 2014.

What is the difference between Internet and internet?

networks that are connected together.

The history of Internet
In the late 1950's the Advanced Research Projects Agency
(ARPA) was founded in the United States with the primary focus
of developing information technologies that could survive a
nuclear attack.

 Software is a general term used to describe a collection of computer
programs, procedures, and documentation that perform some task on
a computer system.

Conclusion
 I Believe that new Technology is a problem if we keep heading in the
direction we are going.
 People need to slow down and get out, you should be able to put down a
game or your phone and focus on maintaining relationships and an active life
style.
 Technology has sadly taken control of man peoples lives everywhere you
look.
It is hard to walk through a mall without seeing someone or a group of
people on their phones.
 I strongly believe people need to step back and take a look at how often they
use technology and how often they engage in a social setting face to face not
by texting or using Facebook.
