Progression Of Technology

Progression of Technology

Imagine a world with robots taking over and controlling the world. This is a major concern for many people. Technology is a continually growing industry and humans are frequently trying to improve it; the real question is do humans really want to progress or are we scared of what could happen if we go further? People seem to think this world is very technologically advanced. Technology has progressed in some aspects, but our society is at a stagnation and needs to progress technology to a higher level in order to compete in a globalized society.

Technology has played a large role in my life. Ever since I can remember my household has had a television. A television was a huge technological accomplishment in our world;

The internet is truly a step to further progressing technology. The creation of it has definitely furthered our society and has made it grow. Tyler Crown from Tedxeast explains, From the 1900s to the 1950s there were great advancements. From that time period many advancements were made from the ability to fly on commercial airlines to driving in automobiles. Transportation was made faster. Crown also claims that in 50 years of his the greatest advancement has only been the internet. The internet was first introduced in the 1990s and has further advanced to include social media and other online webpages. No matter who a person is or what kind of country he or she lives in, their voice can be amplified online and heard around the world (Bohannon).Being online definitely helps our growth because our ideas can be shared with each other. Now the internet has been around for 27 years and the only aspect that has changed is how many websites have been made and all the information we can access with a search of a key word. Before the internet was created, there were still ways to access information like using encyclopedias. The internet, for all its hype is not as impactful of an innovation of technology as cars being invented. As a society we need to further our research and create something bigger and better to progress in

They present the idea that we have cellphones and wireless connectivity and that we are able to communicate in a way that we never have. This is true and is definitely a step into further progressing our technology. Although this is a positive step we are not as far as in the 1930s when the first car was made. These new technologies are not as a drastic of a change as the first car (Cowen). As books predicted what 2018 might look like we are not even close to that happening. They predicted technologies like flying cars because back in the late 1960s we landed on the moon. That time period was the end of a very technologically advanced society as Cowen argues. To prove we are not as technologically advanced as we hoped take this into consideration: Heesun Wee, a CNBC reporter, wrote an article about robots. In the year 2000, a robot was made that was designed to take commands and perform tasks. With the upbringing of robots, people were scared that they would start to take over their jobs (Wee). Bill gates in 2007 predicted "I can envision a future in which robotic devices will become a nearly ubiquitous part of our day-to-day lives," this prediction was not true. We as a society are still not at this point of robots taking over. Although some places like airports a person can go to an electronic screen and print off his or her ticket. They no longer have to wait for a person to print it for them. Progression in
