A vast majority of our lives revolve around technology, and every piece of technology has interacted with some form of a computer, one way or another. You can’t even go 10 feet today without interacting with something correlated to a computer. Computers have made the everyday life for humans a lot easier and more hassle free, however, with every problem computers take away sooner or later another one follows up to take his place. Computers have influenced and improved many crucial pillars in our everyday life. A Major one being the state of communication today. Communication via technology is now instant and faster than it’s ever been. Before technology computers ever existed, we would have to pass along information in person via words or delayed forms of mail, which could back then take months, weeks or even years to get to the destination for which it was intended.

Also, the distance requirement to actually communicate with each other is totally factored out and not an issue. Our cell phones the day or even considered small super computers compared to what we had to work with back then. Regardless of the size it is still a computer. However, today due to being on the phone communicating whether it is via text or FaceTime, or some sort of staring at the blue light in screen for intended periods of time can also damage or even strain your eyes. You can also affect in person communication as most people are more comfy behind a screen and feel much more in control

Technology has also made us utilize and save more space by keeping things digitized. We are able to save and avoid chopping down trees for data storage, which is good and beneficial for the environment. That is until we have to print some thing. Going digital is good for the environment and we preserve resources especially trees, in which we need in order to be able to brief the way we do today. However, due to being digital, it can be running the risk of being hacked damage or even stolen from individuals around the world, who have devious and malicious intent. People can breach and access information from anywhere around the world and hide behind a VPN, which just asked for the rest of them not being caught or even traceable. Thousand data can even be lost if not saved on a cloud or other method of backup storage in case of a severe incident. It has removed the problem regarding distance, needed to access and steal information as well as how they’re able to do it.

Since technology has also improve the process to access information. The access information pool has improved how we operate in schools and universities to better enhance learning or if you’re doing a DIY project fixing your car or house repair via tutorials online. Learning has improved. Many lies and lifestyles. However, not all access information as we know is good just like using it for good reasons people can also use and research bad ones. For example, since all information is accessible to everybody everywhere a tutorial on how to shoot guns is free and available to the public. However, you don’t even need to verify your age in many cases and you don’t even need to provide a permit to carry in order to see this type of Contant. This can lead to an untrained visual, gaining knowledge that they were not fit to know or even access. People can also use it as a tool to spy in hijack system, such as security, alarms, and cameras. This is a major security concerned you too, how powerful they can be, even if used for evil.
