Choose one way in which technology has changed human society and explain the impact of that change, positive and/or negative.
There are so many ways in which technology has changed human society and the world as we know it. Technology is something that determines our culture. The space race in the 60s is a way that we can see how technological advancement decides the power and strength of a country. The invention of electricity, the car, the computer. All of these are things that change the mold of the human being in today's world.
The topic I wish to write about is television. The television has been commercially available since the 1920's. It quickly became a phenomenon and soon enough almost every household owned one. Television is a way that people are influenced. This is the main reason it has changed human society. People nowadays grow up watching certain shows at certain times and sometimes following what they see on TV. This is a way that TV negativley impacts society. Many argue that the violence, drugs, sex etc. that is seen on TV convinces people to act in such a way as those on the shows they watch.
Television is something that brings people from the stresses of their daily life and into the thrill of a television program. It is an escape of sorts from different troubles. This can definitley be a positive thing. The TV can be used for many good things. Advertising is something that has influenced society. From super bowl commercials to your everyday local commercial, the TV is a way that we can get the word out to a lot of people about different things.
A negative thing about TV is that many people spend too much time watching it. For many people it has replaced reading the paper or a good book. Time is defintley wasted watching meaningless things on TV and we all need to be careful to use the TV but not to overuse it.
Technology is ever changing. It's impact on society is undeniable. May we all do our part to keep it progressing in a good way.
