♦The current technology in our society♦
We are currently experiencing a great information revolution without realizing and without fully knowing the technology that surrounds us. New changes mean that we have to update constantly in knowledge related to new technologies.
People, both those who are studying and those who have already completed their learning stage, have an obligation to know more and more about the functioning of new technologies. Why ?, really if we want to compete in a future in a labor market like in which we are today is essential to be updated.
We have, what is more, we need to develop new capacities to be able to "compete" in the labor market, in addition to learning to handle different technological equipment since these are part of our daily life.
The new technologies, related to our environment, are streamlining, optimizing and perfecting some activities that we carry out in our day to day life. Communication today is something that has advanced a lot, a communication that is much faster than before, an example of current communication, specifically through the Internet, in the case of transmitting messages, images, videos and all kinds of documents from different parts of the world during the 24 hours of the day is something that has displaced a bit the sending of documents through the conventional postal service.
The new electronic "apparatuses", of which we are constantly surrounded, allow us to perform tasks that were done manually, though, in a more agile and efficient way.
Technology plays a very important role in the world from the moment you create an innovative "something" that we all want to have as soon as possible. We all want to be fashionable and boast of having the latest in the market.
An example of this competitiveness to have the best of the market are mobile phones, something that is not only the phone itself, but also all the accessories that improve, either in performance or aesthetics, our mobile. In this case in addition to requiring a knowledge update to understand each and every one of the functions that our new phone contains, it is necessary to have a large enough pocket to face the expenses of having a technology of these characteristics.
Some users of Android and other operating systems such as Windows Phone, Blackberry or Iphone, have begun to receive a notification from the company that owns the WhatsApp application with a warning message warning that their free license has expired and that to continue using it will be We need to make an economic outlay, not very high, but we started with the problem of "supposedly" free licenses.
In addition to making monthly payments to our mobile phone companies for services of calls, messages, Internet connection "without limit", we can not afford to pay for applications that offer a service equal to what we have already paid but disguised with a name and other colors.
In general terms, technology has brought great benefits to humanity. Its main role is to create an improvement of tools and accessories adapted to users to facilitate and save effort and, above all, time in our daily lives.
Nowadays technology has had an impact that has affected positively and negatively in our society, but it is something indispensable for all.
Technological inventions in one way or another have improved our quality of life, but the most important thing is that along with this technological development the mentality of millions of people has changed, perhaps with a new vision of the world, no longer hoarding ideas and knowledge, but to share and perform them in common.
Technological development, after all, is the fundamental engine of progress in our society and this will always depend on the use and manipulation that we provide. That is why the same society is called to have a more active and committed participation with its development and generalized impact.
