Technology is a system of tools, techniques, and knowledge designed to help people do things. It is essential to the production of goods and services. The use of technology is not only limited to computers; one can find it everywhere in life.
1. Cost Effective
Technology helps reduce the cost of speaking, repairs, and travel, especially in areas where modern facilities are scarce or nonexistent. Greater efficiency within a company and industry through purchasing all parts needed instead of waiting for them is also more cost-effective. One can accomplish all these with a central purchasing office, with all features available at one location. In addition, eliminating costly administrative costs, waste caused by incorrect shipping time, or components not being general leads to overall savings for businesses and industries that use technology.
2. Environmental
Using technology helps in the conservation of resources. The use of technology can help to conserve water, energy, and land available for human use. Technology can also gather and maintain data on nature so that humans can better understand the environment they live and work with. Technology is a tool to help monitor weather patterns or warn citizens in times of severe conditions or impending danger. It is also possible through technology to explain the complexity of natural phenomena that affect our lives on this planet, such as global warming.
3. Safety Measures
Technology has helped our world advance by providing a safer environment for living and working. Technology allows the creation of safety devices to prevent fires, floods, and other natural disasters.
4. Communication
With the use of technology, communication has become more accessible and more efficient. Communication is possible through cell phones, computers, alarm systems, laptops, and pagers. These devices allow people to communicate while not being close to each other. It is also possible to utilize a satellite phone or text messaging via satellite which will enable communication to be received instantly on whatever device is being used regardless of where on earth it was sent from or received.
Technology has helped us improve our quality of life. However, using technology needs to be considered in all phases of life. One must give an individual’s health and well-being attention as it is equally or more important than the need to use technology for business or personal communication.
