DISADVANTAGES

Modern technology is simply
an advancement of old technology,
the impact
of technology in modern life is unmeasurable, we
use
technology in different ways and some
times the way we implement（实施）
various
technologies ends up harming our lives or the
society we leave in.
What we call modern
technology is technically（技术上的）not so new in most
cases（在大多数情况下并非如此新）. For example, mobile phone
technology
has evolved with years, now days we
use smart phones which have been an
advancement of an ordinary mobile phone.
Technology is applied to the roles each
individual fulfills during life. We use
technology on a daily basis（每天）to accomplish
specific（具体）tasks or
interests. Modern
Technology increases human capabilities(能力) and
this
technology has evolved（进化）with years.
What used to work before, might not
be working
now, it must have got old or got replaced by
modern technology.
Let’s look at a simple
example in Transportation technology, this
technology
has evolved with years, we used to
use steam powered trains now those have
been
replaced by electronic trains which move faster
than steam trains.
Modern technology
simplifies（简化）life in so many ways and every one
defines technology in there own way. To some
people it means complicated
electronic
devices（复杂的电器设备）. To others, it means the source
of the
radical changes that are happening in
all phases of life. Others define
technology
as science applied to practical purposes. Some
people fear to use
technology while others see
it as the source of longer and more complete
lives. Below I have listed detailed points on
Advantages and
Disadvantages of Modern
Technology:
10 ADVANTAGES OF
MODERN TECHNOLOGY:
Easy Access to
information: It has become very easy to get access
to relevant（相应的）information at any time
anywhere. This has been
possible because of
modern technologies like
broadband（宽带）
internet. Lots of data is being
published and indexed（索引）online, sites
like
Wikipedia and Youtube have great original
content（原始内容）which
can be used in research or
entertainment. Information is power, and
those who find information and use it well
always succeed. With smart
gadgets（小工具） like
the ipad , iphone , galaxy tablet , users can
easily have
access to information through
these smart gadgets because they use
internet.
So a user on a train can easily read breaking news
while traveling,
they can also buy and sell
stocks while in the bedroom using the internet.
These smart gadgets make it easy to access
internet and this simplifies the
way we get
information.
Encourages innovation
and creativity – Since technology is
challenging, it sparks the brain to work to
its full potential. In the past, it
used to
be very difficult to start a business, one had to
have lots of capital
（资本）and they even had
limited access to business information. Today, it
is very easy to start a business while at
home. Let’s look at companies like
which
enable creative people sell their works online,
this
encourages creativity. Another good
example is which
helps creative people get
funds for their projects through crowd funding.
On this platform, creative developers post
projects seeking for funding
from the
community, this helps them generate lots of cash
for their good
ideas which latter leads to
creation of new Jobs. The other creative works
which have been facilitated（促进）by modern
technology include Google ,
Apple , Facebook
, Microsoft , Amazon , etc
Improved communication: Communication is
like water to life.
We can not develop without
communication. Modern technology has
blessed（幸福）us with advanced communication
technology tools. These
can include e-fax
machines, electronic mail, mobile
phones, videoconferencing, instant text
messaging applications, social
networking
applications. All these modern communication
technology tools
have simplified the way
humans and businesses communicate. I can easily
talk to my relative oversees using a mobile
phone or video chatting services
like QQ.
Convenience of Traveling: Modern
transportation technology
makes it very easy
to travel long distances. Transport is a very
important
both in our lives and in the
business world. Transportation technology has
evolved with years. In the past it used to be
slow and expensive to move
long distances. Now
days, I can cover a 10 miles distance with in a
few
minutes or hours using electric trains or
airplanes.
Improved housing and
lifestyle: This is another great way how
modern technology has simplified our lives. If
you compare the type of
housing we used to
have in 1900 and the architecture（建筑）of houses
today,
the difference is very big. New
architectural technology has improved the
types of housed we build now days. People
with money can afford town
floating（漂浮的）housed
and glass homes. Most of the items in our house
are now automated, for example, doors use
finger prints which guarantee
security.
Remote webcams（网络摄像头）which you can use to
monitor（监
控）what goes on at your home.
Improved Entertainment: Modern technology has
played a big role
in changing the
entertainment industry. Home entertainment has
improved
with the invention of video games and
advance music and visual（视觉的）
systems like
smart televisions which can connect live to
internet so that a user
can share what they’re
watching with friends. Easy access and storage of
music, services like iTunes allow users to
purchase and download music on
their ipods at
a small cost, this is a win – win situation for
both musicians and
the users. Because
musicians can easily sell their music via iTunes
and the
user can also have a wide selection of
which music to buy without having
troubles of
going to a physical music store.
Efficiency and
Productivity（生产力）: Modern technology has
helped businesses increase production. Humans
are slow and some times
they fail to deliver
on time. So many businesses have
integrated（集成）
modern technology in their
production line, most of the hard work has
become so simple and the results are better
than those of humans. Let’s
look at a farmer
who uses modern technology right from the day of
preparing the farm land to the day of
harvesting. They save a lot of time
and money
during this process.
Convenience
in Education: Learning is a process and it is
part of
our daily lives. Modern technology has
made it simple for students to learn
from any
where through online education and mobile
education. Also
students now use modern
technology in classrooms to learn better. For
example, students use ipads to share visual
lessons and examples with
peers in the
classroom. This has made learning more convenient
and fan.
Also new modern educational
technologies support individual learning
which
gives a chance to students to learn on their own
with no need of
tutors（导师）.
Social Networking: Modern technology has
made it simple to
discover our old friends and
also discover new people to network with. This
is a benefit to both individuals and
businesses. Many businesses have
embraced the
social networking technology to interact（相互）with
their
customers. Users of social networks can
share information with friends, live
chat with
them and interact in all sorts of ways.
Changed the health industry: Now days
most hospitals have
implemented（实施）modern
technology in surgical（外科）rooms, this has
reduced on mistakes made by doctors. Humans
can easily make mistakes
because of work
overload and stress factors. Also the business
community
（社区）has developed health applications
which can enable us monitor our
health and
weight. These applications can be used on mobile
phones, so
users can have them at any time of
the day.

DISADVANTAGES OF MODERN
TECHNOLOGY:
Increased loneliness – Social Isolation is on
the increase, people are
spending more time
playing video games, learning how to use new
modern
technologies, using social networks and
they neglect their real life.
Technology has
replaced our old way of interacting（交互）. If a user
can
easily interact with 100 friends online,
they will feel no need to going out to
make
real friends which at a later stage leads to
loneliness.
Job Loss: Modern technology
has replaced many humans; robots are
doing of
the jobs which used to be done by humans. Many
packing firms
have employed robots on
production lines to increase on production and
efficiency, this is good news for businesses
because it helps them make
more money and
serve customers in time, but it is bad news to
employees
because they get replaced by a
robot.
Competency（能力） - Increased
dependency（依赖）on modern tools
like
calculators（计算器）has reduced on our creativity. You
can find a
student when they can solve a very
simple mathematical equation（数学方
程）without
using a calculator. This affects the way this
student uses their
brains and reduces on the
level of creativity.
World destruction
weapons: Modern technology has been the
main
aid（援助）in the increasing and endless wars. It aids
the
manufacturing（制造业）of modern war weapons
which will require testing.
So when these
weapons get into the hands of criminals, they will
use them
for their selfish reasons.

impacts of technology in modern life,
it is
our responsibility to use technology to improve
our lives but we also
have to make sure that
we preserve our society and environment, if we
don’t
control the usage（用法）of technology, we
shall end up harming both the
society and
environment. Then for those seeking for jobs, i
advice you to
acquire different technological
skills, make sure that you can create or invent
something new using these new technological
skills, being employed is just a
step most of
us have taken, but it does not guarantee financial
security, you
can use technology to create a
small business.
