before I begin on this article, I will like us to know the meaning and importants of technology.

What is technology

Oxford dictionary defines technology as the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry.‘advances in computer technology’
count noun ‘recycling technologies’

Technology has changed our lives forever through various ways. It has changed our day-to-day life in all aspects. It has made some benefits to our life as well as disadvantages to our life. It has also deprived a lot of things of our life like mailing greeting cards, letters to our loved ones, etc. today we are more dependent on technology such that we can’t exist a single day without mobile, social media, etc.

Virtual chat

Earlier whenever we wanted to contact our friends and relations the only option was to give a call to know about their whereabouts. However today we have come much closer than earlier. We know the person’s day to day life through the status but through the social media, we cannot make out the emotions that are involved. Instead of making a phone call we prefer chatting with the person online through Facebook chat and Twitter we feel more comfortable than the traditional phone calls. Even the important conversations are made through email and chat instead of personal meetings.

Learning system

The teaching pattern has been totally changed when we were young, we used to share notes with friends however now the notes system is disappeared as we save everything on a computer and share it through email. Even the virtual classrooms are more popular nowadays. You can get the knowledge on any subject from all over the world with the help of the online tutor. Whatever is your age, through such advancements, you can join the virtual classroom at your convenient time and from your flexible place.

Reading books

Earlier we used to purchase our favorite author books from a bookstore, however, there is no need to go to the bookstore most of the books are converted as an e-book you can find all types of books are available online now. Many shopping sites sell these e-books at a discounted rate online you also get a wide variety of options. You can take your own time to select the book as there is no bookseller to keep a watch on you. For specific reading, Amazon developed Kindle, a small electronic device you can read the books downloaded on Kindle and no need to carry books with you wherever you may go.

Everything with a click

With the technological advancement, we can do things with a click. In past individuals used to leave home for shopping, banking, hotel booking, booking tickets, dining, purchasing groceries, etc. now everything can be done online which has made our life easy. Owing to this we leave home a lesser number of times. Today, most of them travel only whenever it is quite necessary. As all other things are done online, we mostly live indoors and get very less fresh air which is not quite good for our health.

Parenting

Parenting was like teaching kids through their own experiences. Even the books were the friends of kids and parents. There was no internet to show information on a topic and the videos. Parents use to prefer mostly the books, newspapers to teach their kids. With the advancement of technology, parenting has also been taught online. If parents want to teach their kids, they just go online in search on the topic. It is a boon to parents who wants to teach their kids everything before their age.

Quality time
.
Today we spend very less quality time with our loved ones. Technology every time interrupts when we decide to spend quality time. A phone call, WhatsApp message, twitters feeds may disturb you. Individuals who are on vacation can’t stop themselves from checking their status, Facebook photos, twitter feeds, etc.

We spend time on unnecessary things

We connect with lots of people, friends, and relatives with the social media. Whenever we are free, we go on social media to chat with friends to see others profiles and know them their profile. Even though it is not so important for us and our life we still go on surfing users are so addicted towards the internet that they go on surfing unnecessary things on search engines.

Technology has created lots of opportunities for us and the future generation however now it depends on us how to utilize it and not get much addicted to Technology.
