Introduction:

Technology is basically the way we execute the discoveries of science and


blend it with our own needs. Technology is a general term used to refer to
the different tools, machines and equipment we use in everyday life. These
tools and equipment have been invented by man to make the tasks faster,
easier and more comfortable.

Advancements of Technology:

Since the invention of the wheel to the use of microchips in computers and
mobiles, technology has come a long way. The man has reached the
moon and explored the outer space just because of the advancement in
the aeronautics field. Even in primitive occupations such as agriculture,
there have been so many technological advancements with modern tools
such as traction engine and steam tractor technology which has helped us
make progress.

Prominent Examples:

Although there have been countless examples where technology has


changed our lives, there are some which are considered as revolutions for
mankind. The technology used in the field of robotics in one such fine
example. Nowadays robots are being used by people and industries all
over the world for various purposes. They are also used in places which
are otherwise considered harmful for humans thereby protecting us. One
such area is the cleaning and managing of radioactive waste.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is another field which is a classic example of the


technological advancements man has achieved. Who could have imagined
that a machine would be capable of thinking like us? That is what AI has
been successful in doing. It is an intelligent machine capable of behaving
like us. It can do activities such as problem-solving, planning, learning and
even reasoning. Today AI is used in all major areas such as warfare,
security, healthcare and communication. On top of this, it is far more
efficient than us and has a lower rate of error.

Importance of Technology:

Technology has its own importance in our lives. Without technological


advancements, our lives would not have been simpler and faster. The
modernisation that the world is witnessing today has all been possible
because of the technological developments in different fields. Moreover, it
has helped in reducing the risks people had to undertake in many sectors
such as mining. With new tools available, the tasks are less risky and are
more efficient as well.

Drawbacks of Technology:

Although technological advancements are important for us, it is also true


that we seem to be over-dependent on them nowadays.
