Steemkids Community Contest: Technology Has Done More Good Than Bad or The Other Way Round? || @adylinah Support The Positive Impacts of Technology

Greetings to all the members of @steemkidss community. It is great to take part in this weekly contest and the topic is completely interesting because this is technology generation. Everything we do or where we go still evolve around technology which is the main reason why I will be writing in support of technology. But first, before I proceed to state out my points of view, I would love to give brief description of the word "Technology".

Understanding Technology

Technology is putting one's knowledge in an organized form for practical purposes. All these knowledge being put together as technologies differs and usable which are developed by people. Technology can as well be used to appertain to collection of techniques. In other words; it is an idea on how to bring resources together in order to produce something meaningful, fullfil needs and also to solve problems. Technology has both negative and positive impacts on the society today but in reality, it has high rate of good than bad.
Below, I will mention five (5) different inventions in the area of technology and write the uses and also my personal experience while using them.

1. Smartwatch

This is a small phone-like device that is worn on the wrist which is connected to smart phone. Smartwatch notifies when there is messages, incoming calls or when there is notifications from other apps. Smartwatch provides all kinds of mobile function. When I'm a little bit far from my phone, I can easily receive calls and also check out my messages without going to where my phone was. This has really made some work more convenient.

2. Colony Counter Machine

Technology has made it easier for scientists to be able to count the number of bacterial colonies and even other microorganisms that has grown on agar (nutrient) plate / petri dish. I remember when I was doing my practicals in school, I was able to get accurate number of bacterial colonies from the sample I was working on with the help of colony counter.

3. Global Positioning System (GPS)

This technology was invented to provide navigation, location which helps one to get to where he / she is going from one point to another, tracking ( in terms of monitoring movement), mapping and also timing. My experience with GPS was that it was very easy for I and my team mates to record each station where we picked sample for school project.

4. Mobile Phone

Mobile phone is under communication technology which is used for different purposes that includes; business and personal use (keeping in touch with family and friends). Communication technology has made life easy for us in terms of transferring information among people both online and offline through the use of technology which has also helped in solving problems very fast.

5. Washing Machine

This is home appliance that is used to wash laundry. Since technology came into existence, life has been stress-free for us and it has also eliminate some routine chores.

Summary

Technology has both disadvantages and advantages depending on how it is being used by an individual. Technology was invented to make life stress-free for us, but some people take advantage of this and end up using it the wrong way especially the use of internet today. Although, the process of different types of technology may have some bad impacts in the world, it advantages outweigh all the negative impacts for the seek of those using it correctly. In summary, I would say that; technology has done more good than bad and that we should keep using it but in a right way. Thank you!
I would also like to invite my friends @ijehdeboss @madilyn02 and @toriasam to join the contest using the contest link.
