Technlogy in Society

Today we are using cutting edge technology to improve every aspect of our daily lives. In earlier times the major form of communication was for people to visit each other and go to public meeting places. These advances both improve our lives and hurt them. ke Microsoft who create some of these counter parts for robots/machines and most of the technology that exists today, are not only monopolizing the business but are also forcing everyone to use their software because there are no leading competitors. Today people are so dependent on Microsoft and its computer technology that we cannot live without it. Society has experienced, change in time spent at work to the efficiency in producing goods due to the changing technologies. For instance in today's society the fields of Communication and Medicine are constantly advancing yet they both create significant losses. They improve them by decreasing time and money, but hurt by our frustration and anger tords them if they do not obay orders or not work. But now all this can be done through e-mail, telephone, or just standard mail. Technology has helped increase the speed of communication and decrease its cost. However, at the same time it has caused people to become more impersonal with each other. Everyday in society people are making improvements, however, these improvements also have equal drawbacks.
