IMPACTS OF TECHNOLOGY

IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY

The impact of technology are diverse. I overlook  negative impacts to emphasize on the advantages, believing that solutions of the negative are by technology . It has penetrated into every aspect of human life to solve daily issues. Interaction of humanity and environment as also been speeded up by scientific researches that involve highly advanced equipment .

Agricultural technology has made a possibility of food sustainance. And farming machines and equipment speed up the farm management system increasing their efficiency. Disease resistant crops have been genetically modified through technology. Hydroponic systems and greenhouses have also impacted food security,  are continuing to be popular. Allied to this development in agriculture is economic impact. In developing countries food is essential for a healthy population, that will enable citizen to work in order to sustain their lives. Jobs arising from use of are on the rise both in the formal sector and informal. Such are the machinery operators, information technology experts, transportation. Governments are able to raise the citizens living standards by building of infrastructure through accrued taxes. Roads, hospitals and learning institutions publicly owned are funded by taxes from citizens, for their construction.

Further still,is the Government services delivered to citizens via information technology. This has   made easy access of services and increased transparency. This also further boost revenue and reduces unnecessary costs of offices as well. And all information concerning projects are accessed through social media platforms. Youths are the most  benefited by this platforms, women and people with disability also have access to information online without bias since online services are not gender biased and accessible to the society. Contrary to this good impacts, internet abuse has led to social morals decay and cyber crimes.  With laws in place, cyber crimes can be solved.

Some few negative impacts of technology like air and Noise pollution from cars and industries can be mitigated by use of clean power technology like solar and wind for industries. This will lead to environment conservation. Green energy also will reduce carbon emissions that prevents global warming and climatic changes. And with time and more research on ways to conserve environment through technology will lead to harmonious ecosystem where humanity can thrive safely.
