“TODAY’S LIFE SAVIOUR”
“Living without technology is like living without air.” It says that how people really need technology in order to survive in their daily situations or lives today. It also says that everyone recognizes the devices he/she carries or sees around him/her; which is probably advanced. It shows how people today are updated in technology especially in terms of mobile phones/cell phones, computers and robots. These three examples of products of technology are like gifts to our lives. They help us in our everyday life or situation for us to save our time, energy and sometimes even money. Technology has a great impact to our life especially today. Therefore, technology had evolved in innovation of the different products of technology such as computer, cell phones or mobile phones and robots.
Computer is a programmable device that can store, retrieve and process data or files that are very important in a certain person’s career, jobs, studies, and daily life. Computers are very important especially on the fields of banking, business, schools, home and hospitals because of its accuracy and ease of use. Desktop computers, Laptop computers or simply Laptop and Mainframe computers are mainly used in those said fields. Desktop computers or simply PC (Personal Computers) is a popular computer system because it is very easy to use and affordable for an individual for their word processing and small application requirements (Types of Computer). A Laptop is a small size computer or a portable computer is operated on batteries (Types of Computer). It is called “Laptop” because of its small size that can be able to sit on your lap. Because of its small size and can be operated on batteries, the user can used the Laptop anywhere and anytime. Mainframe computers are large and expensive computers. The mainframe uses its power in executing many programs concurrently and more powerful because they support more simultaneous programs. Mainframe computers are usually used in banking, airlines and railways (Types of Computer).
A mobile phone or cell phone is a device that can make and receive text messages and telephone calls in a wide geographic area. Today, you can see different types of mobile phones everywhere like iPhone, Galaxy (Samsung Galaxy) and a tablet computer. The iPhone is very familiar and popular nowadays specially for teenagers. The iPhone runs Apple’s iOS mobile operating system or “iPhone OS” that is created by the Apple Inc (iPhone, Par 1.)... The Samsung Galaxy, or simply Galaxy, is made by the famous electronic company, the Samsung Electronics. It is powered by or run as an Android-powered mobile computing device (Samsung Galaxy, Par 1). A tablet computer, or simply tablet, is a wide touchscreen mobile computer and can be familiarized as being larger than any smartphones (Tablet Computer, Par 1). These kinds of gadgets are very helpful and useful because it makes communication very easy and gives us entertainment.
Robot is a mechanical device or virtual agent that can automatically perform its tasks repeatedly that is guided by a computer program or electronic circuitry. Robots have replaced humans in performing repetitive and dangerous and sometimes impossible for humans to do. Pre-programmed robots, Autonomous robots, Tele-operated robots, and Augmenting robots are some examples of robots that assist humans in performing repetitive and dangerous tasks. Pre-programmed robots do not require big control systems to operate successfully because it is operated in a simple controlled environment. These robots can be familiarized in building cars, in terms of industry and in terms of healthcare (Kind of Robots, Par 1). Autonomous robots are operated independently by human and its responsibility to detect the changes in its environment and be able to adapt to it. Some of these robots can be found in terms of industry, labour-saving devices at home and even toys (Kind of Robots, Par 2). Robots that are remotely controlled by a human in certain or huge distance such as underwater and outer space are called Tele-operated robots (Kind of Robots, Par 3). Augmenting robots are connected to the user’s body and can enhance the user’s natural ability or give them a skill that they don’t have (Kind of Robots, Par 4).
Technology has always there for us every day and gives us the power to support our growing needs and wants in order to survive in our everyday life and situation. Technology supports us in different fields like in work, transportation, communication, medical purposes, at home and entertainment. Because of the rapid growing of the products of technology, some people tend to depend on the technology itself. There are different kinds, types, or examples of products of technology that made our lives simple. The simpler the work is, the more we get dependent. Computers, mobile phones and robots today are ubiquitous. Innovation on technology is not bad; it helps us a lot in our daily life and situation.
