Modern technology has altered the ways we live, work, and play. Televisions were once the pinnacle of technology in many American homes during the 1990s. 15% of homes in 1989, according to the Census Bureau, possessed a personal computer. 2011 saw a rise in this percentage to 75%. Due to the widespread use of emails, video conferencing, smartphones, and laptops in modern offices, workers from the past would not recognize them.
The world of communication is one of the areas where technology has had the most influence. It used to be challenging to communicate with individuals outside of your immediate area; and it required letters and a lot of patience. Professional communication during most of the 20th century consisted of letter writing, faxing, or phone calls. As we all use youtube, Instagram and many social media platforms.
The Internet and computers have revolutionised schooling. Computers can fit enormous amounts of data into a small area, making a single flash drive the size of a shelf of reference materials. They make information presentation more effective and facilitate more efficient instruction. Lessons and lectures can be posted in written or video form on websites, increasing accessibility.
Another important application of technology is the keeping and retrieval of records. Today, there is an amount of data because of technological improvements. Electronic databases are to store and retrieve this data. Most businesses now use computerised databases instead of paper files.
Another important application of technology is in healthcare. The likelihood that treatments to save lives will be effective has grown because of medical technology. People now live longer and enjoy a better quality of life thanks to modern medical technology. Today's immunizations are highly effective and quickly alleviate any medical condition.
Robotics and automation are other significant applications of technology. Many businesses now employ autonomous robots to manufacture their products. Additionally, it helps with warehouse logistics, building security, and office cleaning.
