Bobbie Jo Wegrzyn Mrs. Terri Brown English Composition III (Date) Title Technology is useful for very many things. When we think of technology we usually refer to computers, medical equipment, cell phones and other things of this nature. Technology is the use of science in industry, engineering, etc., to invent useful things or to solve problems. Everyone uses technology every day. Technology is tools, devices, systems, methods and procedures (“Technology”). Technology is helpful at mostly everything in life and is needed to be used at school. By using all of this technology and getting even better technology, our lives are improving every day. Technology is making our everyday lives so much easier. Over fifty years ago electronic computers were invented. The first message was sent to the ARPANET. The Internet was not invented by just one individual. In the 1950’s to the 1970’s, internet was invented by a group of researchers and scientists (The invention of the internet). The internet helps us with many things. Without internet, we wouldn’t be able to stay in touch with loved ones from across the country so you won’t have to make long distant phone calls. You can also have fun on the internet by playing games and communicating with friends. The internet was not this advanced back in 1950’s. Internet was just used for researchers and scientist to communicate and also for people to communicate in the War. Technology is advancing faster than ever.

People can easily get online and put applications in. This is good in case they’re not physically able to get to the place they want to apply for. If they’re able to get to the place and put a good impression in on the boss, they can just search for jobs online then go in and put an application in. People’s lives are improving everyday because of technology. Technology is advancing and getting better. Everyone uses technology and it’s not a bad thing. The Internet, phones, computers, cars and etc., have helped people get through everyday life situations. People should use more technology. “Technology is a gift of God. After the gift of life it is perhaps the greatest of God’s gifts. It is the mother of civilizations, of arts and of sciences. (Freeman Dyson)

  • The Definition Of Technology In Growing Up Tethered By Sherry Turkle

    1015 Words  | 3 Pages

Well, as Bobby Boucher’s mother in the movie, Waterboy, would say it, “is the Devil.” Whether you’re a fan or not, computers, cell phones, and soon to be driverless cars, are engulfing and controlling the world around us.
