Technology by and for man
The evolution of the human being has been supported by means of tools and since time immemorial it has been his faithful companion, human development, and the brain itself was created to survive. Technology has always existed, for example in the times of primitive man it was reflected in the work tools that they manufactured, or in the first inventions that the first men discovered such as fire, clothing, painting, the printing press among other great inventions that have been of vital importance to human beings, since thanks to all the inventions discovered, new ideas have been created and all this is technology. The birth of technology is the creation based on our needs, since this arises as a clear way to improve, improve, analyze,for the development and evolution of the human being.
Today there are innumerable technological advances that have allowed better development. Technology today is beneficial and necessary for people's daily lives, thanks to all this technology the human being has a life full of comfort. We have had so much technological development that long ago it would have been unimaginable, however it is a reality, the human being is capable of developing very advanced technology that has been of vital importance and of great help to human life; It has great benefits but it also has its disadvantages since man often does not use technology correctly as it should, and uses it in things that are not relevant, but that we do not make important instead.
Technological advances are becoming more frequent and in less time, we can notice this evolution in the cell phone, for example, the first cell phone in history appeared in 1983 and was even heavier than a modern wireless phone, it was of very low quality, a great variety of cell phones have been created from that mobile phone to reach those that exist today, which have excellent technology, their weight is much lower, they have a battery that allows us to spend more time on them, They are more aesthetic and not only serve us to make calls or send messages, now we can chat, store images, music, videos, connect to the internet, send and receive emails, listen to radio and even watch television, among other functions.
Human life today is much more comfortable, but we have come to depend so much on technology that now most people cannot live without a cell phone, a tablet, a computer, without a television; If we do not have all or some of these devices we feel that we are not worth or that we do not belong to all other society that if they have the possibility of having this technology, society in general has become dependent on technology and we have fallen into conformism, thinking that technology will solve all our problems when it is only a means by which we can rely. The internet is one of the greatest inventions since thanks to this discovery we can have communication and we can solve doubts,but the disadvantages of the internet is that human beings get used to finding everything in this medium and we have forgotten something very important such as books, nowadays there are very few times, if not ever we have stepped on a library and The habit of reading or just picking up a book to research a topic has been lost.
Technology has also contributed to medicine, since thanks to the discovery of the microscope, different types of microorganisms that are harmful to humans were discovered and thanks to this measures could be taken to prevent and cure some diseases, they have also been able to develop vaccines and medicines to cure or carry any disease. Medical equipment has been developed and perfected, this is very important since thanks to these equipment it has been possible to diagnose diseases and have better control of these conditions. At present, different types of transplants can be performed and this has helped many people not die and have a better quality of life;Human prostheses are part of a very important evolution since now if a person does not have a certain member of their body they can already count on it through an implant, and this will allow them to lead a normal life like that of any other human being.
In science, technology has also had a great impact and has favored human beings; In agriculture and livestock it has contributed to develop fertilizers to enrich the soil, pesticides that help combat animals and plants that are harmful to the field, medicines have been developed to keep livestock healthy and new machinery has been invented for the production of plants or vegetable products, this has made life in the countryside easier.
In terms of nutrition, technology has been of great help since before in order to obtain food, we had to resort to hunting, fishing and harvesting fruits, today we only have to go to a supermarket to obtain whatever food we need.
The invention of machines such as steam, which is one of the most important, had a great impact on society since it favored communication, promoted industry and commerce. Later, other machines, trains, automobiles, ships and airplanes were perfected that have allowed the transfer of products from one country to another.
The human mind as we already know is very powerful but technology has had great advances that have surpassed the human mind, now there are already machines that can interact with men, such as the Deep Blue machine that could beat the chess champion. in 1996; We have achieved great advances that technology has replaced men, a clear example can be seen in companies, they increasingly have more machinery than men, since it is more practical and less expensive because it is not like a worker who has than to be paying a salary and has more time to live. This situation is a serious problem since it is causing that every day there is more unemployment and therefore that the economy of all the families is affected by this situation;favoring entrepreneurs and only improving the economy of people with better economic position.
Is everything that surrounds us a product of technology?
When listening to this question, many answers arise that make more unknowns arise, such as, for example, could we live without electricity, without clothes, air conditioning, transport, radio, telephone and all those objects that surround us?
We see all these goods and services that we have every day, we have not started to think that our life without all these benefits would be very different, it would be like in years past when they did not have technology.
We see technology everywhere except for the resources that nature offers us such as water, air, soil, flora and fauna; It is important to note that thanks to technology we obtain many benefits that facilitate and allow a better quality of life, without all these goods and services that we can obtain thanks to technology, the lives of all people would be very different and we would go back to the years in where the first men lived, now as we have mentioned before, we can get food, clothing, footwear in an easier and faster way.
Man has not had good control of technology since he has had very rapid advances that we cannot live without all the technology, a clear example of this is that now children from an early age begin to use cell phones, tablets, computers, etc., know how they work but are not aware of the dangers to which they can be exposed when they enter cyberspace.
While it is true that technology has many benefits for human life, we also find many disadvantages when talking about this subject, some of these disadvantages are very worrying since they involve very young children to adults.
The first disadvantage that we find is the media, because some of them do not see or hear only things that nourish our minds. A clear example of this is that on television you see a lot of violence and unfortunately the smallest people in our society watch it, children see a lot of violence in cartoons, this can lead to serious problems, since children manifest violent actions with their companions and in the future they can become criminals. But television not only affects children, but also young people and adults, since through advertising they try to manipulate people into buying products that are not really necessary, but that they repeat to us on television. many times we have to consume these products because they are better,all people allow themselves to be manipulated and acquire all these products. All the media try to mark stereotypes, which mainly affect young women, since they want to be like the women that appear on television, and have put the perfect woman as the one with a perfect body, this has caused that many young women fall into the hands of bulimia and anorexia leading to their death.
The second disadvantage is that when we surf the internet we can be exposed to many dangers. By publishing all our personal data on social networks, we already have less privacy and everyone finds out about your phone number, your address, what you do, what you like and what you don't, even the wrong people, such as hackers, white dealers, kidnappers, or people who steal identity, many times we do not think about the serious consequences that surfing the internet would bring us without knowing all the problems to which we are exposed, of course we can navigate but we have to do it responsibly and it is important not to post very personal things.
Another problem with the internet is that now we can already have bank accounts through the internet but this is a very big risk, since if hackers were to hack all your accounts they can empty your accounts and make purchases with those accounts to leave you in debt. It is important to know all the risks that can arise when navigating in cyberspace so as not to fall into the networks of a malicious person.
Social isolation is another of the consequences that the much-mentioned technology brings us since now we can already be in communication with people we do not see, and the people we have close to us we forget many because we pay more attention to all networks social or television, we isolate ourselves from society and lose many moments of our lives that will never return and that when we realize it it will be too late.
Another disadvantage that we find is that technology has made man weaker, now he no longer makes an effort to think, with calculators we no longer make efforts to solve a mathematical problem since just by pressing a few keys we obtain the result we want to reach. When we need to solve a question, or we want to carry out an investigation, we no longer go to the libraries to consult the book, just by entering the search engine and writing what we want to find, we have our information, although many times the information we find is not reliable, we are not we realize that, and we take it into account. We have become dependent on technology, and we do not make an effort to get what we need.
Technology in education
It is important to integrate technology into school classrooms but unfortunately not all schools have the necessary resources so that this can be carried out, however they can support some programs that the government implements so that this is not impossible. For the integration of this technology to be effective, research is needed to deepen and improve the learning process.
The implementation of ICT in the educational field has the ability to make the necessary changes in teaching and thus ensure that it meets the demands of the knowledge society. As various studies on education point out, ICTs not only function as an input but as an element of innovation that encourages change in school systems.
The importance of ICT management in the current context is crucial in the economic performance of the country. Increasing access to technologies is expected to increase productivity, hours worked to become more efficient, increase wages, and thereby promote economic growth and innovation. Through the implementation of ICT in education, it becomes possible to increase human capital within the country, ensuring that the workforce is increasingly qualified and competitive.
Technologies are being used more and more frequently within the education sector, although their adoption continues at an early stage. For example, it is used to facilitate the teacher or teachers in administrative procedures; o More and more frequently the plans or the school calendar are uploaded to the platform used by the school, which contributes to parents being more informed about the education their children are receiving.
There is certainly high potential to harness technology for teaching and learning. Incorporating technology into education is much more than having a class where basic computer skills and some programs are taught independently. Optimal integration of ICT in education suggests that it can be used as a research method to deepen learning. In addition, the incorporation of ICT in the education sector should be able to encourage participation in groups, make students more active and promote an education that gradually reduces passivity in teaching and increases student-teacher interaction -temary.
Technology is also a fundamental part of commerce since thanks to this commerce has been growing over the years. The constant interaction between technology and commerce stimulates and forces companies to learn and acquire new knowledge. And, for that very reason, the longer the company has been in the market and the longer it has been since it has been internationalized, the more likely it is to be a more experienced company and more knowledgeable about the mechanisms that will help it improve its position. competitive.
These experiences of the company in the national and international market give it many ideas, such as:
- How to improve your products How to reduce costs How to create new products.
This will help companies grow nationally and more importantly internationally, thus boosting the economy of the country and the world. Technology has brought many benefits to trade since it is now easier to transport merchandise by all routes such as sea, land and air, now merchants already have the assurance that their products will arrive in good condition and in a longer time short. This in some way has helped many companies that were small have grown since the process of trade is now easier to carry out.
Technology has strengthened the economy around the world since there have been many innovations in telecommunications and transportation that have contributed to the countries being in constant contact, and has favored the export and import of products. But this technology favors more countries that are developed because they have the necessary technology to favor the economy of their country, without on the other hand the countries that are in underdevelopment, many times do not have the same technology and that does not allow them to have the same opportunities to grow as countries that are constantly developing.
Another way in which technology has contributed to the economy is that it facilitates the interaction between producers of goods and services and their consumers. For producers it is easier to make their goods and services available to the public since through advertising, all people can learn about the goods and services that they offer us. On the contrary, consumers, through the advertising put up by producers, can know the products that are on the market and which ones are necessary to satisfy the needs of human beings.
Technology in the future
It is incredible how technology has advanced but more amazing is what has been rumored about how technology will be in later years, it is said that now there will be robots that function like human beings, and that will function like a man.
The screens will now be flexible, they can take any form that we want or the way we manipulate it. Communication with everyone will be much easier, video calls can now be made, but in the future they will be more advanced and the phone call will no longer be used, and neither will the messages, they will only be video calls. Today's life for all people has already been made easier thanks to technology, in a few years life will be even more practical and more comfortable.
Technology will reach countless advances in the coming years, this technology that we have has managed to surpass man in many aspects of life, will it be able to surpass man in all its aspects?
The minds of all men could be greatly outmatched in an impressive way, to such a degree that human labor will no longer be needed in business, and all men will be replaced by machines that carry out all the work they should. perform humans.
The mind of the human being will become more conformist and looser since having more technology, we will become conformist since with all the devices that are future to go on the market the operations that we want to carry out, or the investigations that we carry out it will be much easier to carry them out.
Technology is a tool that is very helpful for human beings, if we know how to use it correctly we can get many benefits from it and we will make our life more comfortable and easy to carry on a daily basis. In the future when we have a job it will be easier to carry out our functions within a company, and it will be easier to keep track of our company or the company where we are working.
If human beings become dependent on technology, we can have serious problems since there may come a time when we cannot count on that technology and the world will be closed to us when we have to solve something where we used technology before. It is difficult to know exactly how fast we will advance in terms of technology, but we all have to adapt to all these changes.
