Technology: what is the impact on today's society

No one doubts that technology and its evolution in recent years have had a huge impact on our daily lives and the tasks we carry out. Starting with our smartphone, smart TV, the autonomous car, programs that we use such as Netflix, Uber or even Airbnb, be the tools we use to work productively and even the fact that in some professions you can work remotely - it was effectively something that was not expected to happen so quickly.

Next, we highlight some areas where the fact of the importance of technology today is noted - even more -:

Communication

Communication between individuals or groups has become very easy and fast, allowing people to connect instantly and around the world, through SMS, calls, social networks, applications such as WhatsApp or Telegram, among others.

Education

The internet and new tools have revolutionized the way education is made available and delivered, creating distance learning programs and online classes, thus expanding access to education, making it more flexible, accessible and dynamic for any family.

Remote Work

If we talked about this modality 20 years ago, everyone would think it ridiculous, however, this reality is present in our day to day thanks to the wonders of technology, with more and more companies adopting remote work that allows employees to carry out their tasks through the comfort of their homes.

Entertainment

The most obvious place in the impact of technology is in entertainment, allowing multiple international networks to access movies, music, games and apps for anyone, anywhere, at any time.

Health

Thanks to current technology, we have access to more sophisticated diagnostics that allow the early detection of various diseases, more effective medical care and advanced care systems.

Mobility

The future in which we can travel by car to sleep is not very far away, thanks to the constant and progressive development of autonomous cars. The development of scooters and electric bicycles have also greatly helped mobility within cities, giving users the option to make long journeys with greater ease.

E-Commerce

Who doesn't like to shop online in stores in any imaginable country? Technology has played an important role in transforming e-commerce, enabling access to shopping in a globalized, secure and fast way.

Security

Intelligent surveillance systems allow an excellent and comfortable level of security, recognizing all households (including animals!) and alerting the authorities when an unauthorized household accesses the property, through facial recognition.

Artificial Intelligence

The famous films about Artificial Intelligence induce an interesting topic (self-consciousness of robots), despite being fiction (for now!). This is a goal that companies are exploring in order to automate complex tasks, improve efficiency and increase data processing capacity. Will we one day have a metallic companion with feelings of our own?

Sustainability

The planet we live on is unique and must be preserved to ensure that future generations continue to enjoy it. Fortunately, technology is helping humanity tackle global environmental issues, such as the emission of polluting gases, waste management and the efficient use of renewable resources.

To conclude, and following these numerous developments in technology in the most varied areas (and in other areas that we are not mentioning here!), what does the future tell us? Certainly, the path will be one of continuous evolution and growth in the use of technology.

And why not prepare the next generation - today's children and adolescents - for new jobs and new technologies? Meet one of our schools and come and do a free demo class - without any compromise.
