"Technology: Climax of Today’s Generation"

“Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men.” That quotation came from the former President of the United States of America, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. It motivates us to be courageous to go through all the challenges in our lives. Apparently, someone was willing enough to spend their time to work on decreasing the process of manual labor for jobs and occupations. Most occupation nowadays is always within the reach of technology. Technologies also reached various aspects of life like education, communication, entertainment and security and are affected.

Technology is now an essential part of education. From printing books to viewing contents of books through the internet, the technology for education is evolving. It is not just an aid for students to learn more in a different way. It is also a manner of people to share their ideas to people as a statement from Eger (2013). Today, the internet is now the source of student’s information. They get information everyday in or outside their homes. Technology is now advanced that knowledge is now in front of you, ready to be held where you wanted to go.

Communication and entertainment are two things that technologies mostly give us. Before, communication is only present with the person you are talking to or at home on the line as Reinecke (2012) demonstrated. Nowadays, people tend to talk to their friends while in a restaurant, in the subway, in the bathroom, or in the malls. Communication wasn’t this easy before. Communication can also be present in entertainment through life lessons, and humour. Entertainment is like communication. Before, it was present in malls and TV’s at home. Now, it is everywhere; in your phone, in the billboards, in the airplane, and in your car. Technology changed our way of living through affecting these two aspects of life.

Security has always been a factor of a home. Being safe is what always matters when you are home from an article by Kumar (2013). In the present time, there are now facilities to protect yourself inside your comfort zone. Closed-circuit television or CCTV cameras are one way to be secure. Cameras set up outside your house can keep on track on people if they’re looking suspicious. There are other gadgets like those electric fences, and spy cameras on clothes. Technology can be reliable for security purposes.

Technologies have collided in our lives every day. There are these aspects of life it affects the most. From researching your homework from the internet to sleeping at night with the security cameras on, technology is reliable. Technology actually helped our lives within ease looking into these informations. Although there are some disadvantages, technology have given us more reasons to trust it. Productivity has never been this easy before technology came.
