In the current time people can't imagine their life without technology.

Surrounding us various
technologies are helping people to live their life with more luxury. The technology sector has
changed and developed many products. The technology is providing many advantages but also
it has some disadvantages. Here we will discuss about both.

Advantages
There are several advantages of technology like
Easier life - With technological machine people are getting help in every sector. Cars and bikes
are helping people to reach anywhere quickly. Airplane and superfast trains have been reduced
distance between cities and countries. Computer and internet are providing information in
simplest way also it has changed way of communication. Now people are doing video
conferencing and chatting to communicate with their friends and family used communication
technology.

Lesser Mistakes - Machines are helping people to make lesser mistakes. Robots or machines
are working accurately and you just need to program them with proper information. Like in
production of any automotive most of manufacturing companies are using automatic machines
which follow instruction of computer or that person who is operating the machine. And all work
gets done perfectly.

Save Time - Technologies are saving our time, for an example you can flew anywhere in the
world in lesser time. With computer you can do any work in lesser time and also it help to
enhance quality and provide suggestions.

Machines are helping people in kitchen too - like Oven and these are also saving time.
Disadvantages
Every one knows that technology is very helpful but it has some disadvantages too. Because
many companies have adopted automatic machines so that they can improve their production
with accuracy. As a result many people lost their job.

Similarly house maids are loosing their job because robotic machines are doing their job. Owner
need to pay one time only while maid get paid for every month.

However machines and robots look inexpensive and good to use but, when any technical
problem occurs in machine or robot, it took much time to fix it and also it can be expensive.

As we found that in technology sector, there are many advantages and disadvantages, even
then people can't imagine their life without technology including me.
Technology is the use of scientific knowledge to produce new machinery and devices that can be
used to provide different services or can be employed further to create more devices. The
application of information to design and produce machines and other goods to make life more
convenient for the human beings is known as technology. Here are some essays of varying
lengths on Technology to help you with the topic in your class tests and exams.

ESSAY ON TECHNOLOGY
ESSAY ON TECHNOLOGY 1 (200 WORDS)
The term technology has been derived from Greek words technne and logos. Technne means the
skill required to craft something and logos stands for knowledge or discussion about something.
Technology thus means the use of knowledge to create something to enhance life. Several big
and small things we use in our day-to-day lives have been an outcome of technological
development.
Scientists conduct research and experiment with different things to come up with newer ideas.
Technologists use these ideas to develop newer devices. People these days have grown extremely
accustomed to the use of these technological inventions that they simply cannot do without them.
They await the launch of newer and more advanced devices. Mobile phones and cars are the best
examples of this. People wait for the new models and replace them without giving it a second
thought.

The smart phones offer so much, from amazing gaming experience to instant connectivity with
people, that it is hard to take your eyes off it. Your car, air conditioner, microwave and other
technologically advanced devices also seem as good because of the convenience they offer.
However, it is wise not to go overboard with their use. Maintain a balance between science and
nature to lead a peaceful life and keep your surroundings healthy.

ESSAY ON TECHNOLOGY 2 (300 WORDS)

Technology has helped in the growth and development of the mankind as a whole. Technological
inventions have made living convenient. Connecting with people in different parts of the world,
travelling long distance, having constant sources of entertainment and ease of cooking and
storing food are some of the best things technology has offered us. But is technology really a
boon to the mankind?

Technology: A Boon to the Mankind?

Well, this has always been a point of debate. While technology has paved the way for a better
living its downside cannot be overlooked. The continual use of technologically advanced
equipments as well as the process of their production has led to a drastic rise in all types of
pollution. The rising pollution has become the cause of several health issues. Excessive use of
technology has also contributed to problems such as obesity and visual impairment. Besides, it
has isolated people socially more than connecting them. It has also led to a decrease in the
employment opportunities particularly for the labour class.

The Relationship between Science and Technology

While science and technology are interdependent, these are two completely distinct fields of
study. Science contributes to technology in several ways. It is the knowledge of science that
gives way to new and innovative ideas to build different technological tools. The research and
experiments conducted in science laboratories lead to the designing of various technological
techniques and devices. Knowledge about science also helps in understanding the impact of
technology on the environment and the society. Technology on the other hand extends the
agenda of science. When the ideas are put to use, the scientists are inspired and motivated to
research and experiment further to come up with newer ideas.

Conclusion
Technology certainly has given way to an improved lifestyle and contributed towards the growth
of economies; however, the amount of damage it has done to the environment as well as the
mankind is a cause of serious concern.

ESSAY ON TECHNOLOGY 3 (400 WORDS)

From the television you watch to the mobile phone you use to connect with your near and dear
ones, from the car you drive to the refrigerator you use to store your food, from the air
conditioners you use to beat the heat to the laptops you use to accomplish various tasks
everything is a gift of technology.
 Technology An Integral Part of Our Life
Technology has become an integral part of our lives. It is ever-evolving and is responsible for
our changing lifestyle. Newer technological inventions are taking the market by storm and
people hardly take any time to get accustomed to these.

Technological advancements have also led to the growth and development of the nations as a
whole.

The Downside of Technology

Here is a look at the downside of technology:

1. Pollution

The use of technological equipment has given rise to various types of pollution. The industrial
waste is thrown in the seas and other water bodies, thereby leading to water pollution, the smoke
emitted by factories and vehicles causes air pollution, noise pollution is also a result of the
production/ use of technological devices. Industrial waste has also led to soil pollution.
Technological advancement has also given way to thermal, radioactive and light pollution.

2. Depletion of Natural Resources

Many natural resources are being over-exploited to produce technological equipment. While
these equipment have proved to be useful in many ways this practice is resulting in the depletion
of natural resources which is a threat to the environment.

3. Health Issues

Rise in the level of pollution and the weakening of natural environment has led to several health
issues. The use of technology has also reduced physical activities which again has given rise to
various health problems. Breathing problems, lung infection and obesity are among the problems
that are on an all time high due to the increasing use of technology.

4. Unemployment
 The work which was once done manually is now accomplished with the help of machines. The
production of machines has thus taken away the livelihood of several people.

5. Nuclear Weapons

Technology has also led to the production of nuclear weapons that are a threat to the mankind.

Conclusion
Almost everything we use in our day-to-day life is a gift of technology and we cannot imagine
our lives without most of these things. However, as much good as the technology has done to the
mankind, we cannot deny the fact that it has also caused as much harm to our surroundings.

ESSAY ON TECHNOLOGY 4 (500 WORDS)

Technology is commonly defined as the use of scientific and technical information to design,
create and monitor machinery, electronic devices and various other kinds of goods to serve the
mankind. Technology has been classified into different categories with each of them having its
own unique purpose.

Types of Technology
Here is a look at the different types of technologies:

1. Industrial Technology

This type of technology deploys manufacturing and engineering technology for the production of
machines and other equipment. Employing these technologies makes the production process
quicker and more efficient. The process is also made simpler.

2. Alternative Technology

This type of technology is known to be environment friendly compared to the other technologies
that are more dominant in todays scenario. Some of the examples of alternative technology
include the use of wind turbines to produce electricity, the process of composting, use of solar
panels, anaerobic digestion, biodiesel, vegetable oil, wind generators and grey-water recycling.
3. Creative Technology

It includes art, product design and advertising made with the use of software based, electronic or
data-driven device. This includes the use of 3D printing, computer graphics, virtual reality and
wearable technology among other things.

4. Architectural Technology

This involves the use of technology to design and build buildings. It is a part of architecture and
building engineering. It is closely associated with the advancement in building science. At times,
it is seen as a separate discipline.

5. Low Technology

This is a term given to simple technology that does not make use of non-mechanical things to
create new objects. This was mainly prevalent before the industrial revolution. It can be practiced
with low capital investment and is not capable of producing high-end devices.

6. Assistive Technology

This involves making use of different kinds of goods and services to aid people with disabilities.
It includes non-mechanical, non-electronic aids, mechanical, electronic and microprocessor
based equipment as well as exclusive instructional materials and services to assist disabled
people in learning and functioning. It is also used to make the environment easily accessible for
them.

7. Instructional Technology

It is the practice of development, utilization, management and assessment of the procedures and
resources of teaching and learning. Its main purpose is to generate engaging and effective
learning experiences.

8. Micro Technology

It is basically a technology that makes use of microelectronics. It was in the year 1960 that the
scientists learned that by bringing together microscopic transistors on one chip, one could build
microelectronic circuits that can enhance performance and functionality with reduced cost.
9. Medical Technology

As the name suggests, this type of technology produces various devices and equipment to
diagnose and treat different medical conditions affecting human beings and animals.

10. Information Technology

It involves the utilization of computer systems and telecommunication to study, store, send and
retrieve information. Internet is the most common example of information technology.

Conclusion
While technology has been classified into several categories each serving its own purpose, the
core motive of all these remains the same, that is to design and build newer devices to make life
more convenient.

ESSAY ON TECHNOLOGY 5 (600 WORDS)

Technology is basically the application of information to build equipment and devices that can
be put to different use. Technology has gradually become a part of our everyday life. The things
we use everyday including the gas stove, refrigerator, bike, laptop, phone, air conditioner, car,
lamps and internet connection have all been sourced by technology.

While technology has made life convenient for us, the negative repercussions it has cannot be
overlooked. Here is how technology has impacted our lives and also how to strike a balance to
overcome this impact.

Addiction towards Technology

The use of technology for improving ones way of living is fine. However, addiction with
technological devices can prove to be disastrous. Unfortunately, we have come a way too far
when it comes to using the technology. Almost everyone today is glued to the technology these
days. One of the apt examples of this can be the cell phones. Whether you are in a caf, office or
at home everyone around just seems busy fiddling with his/her smartphone.
 Similar is the addiction to air conditioners. During summers, it is almost impossible to sit
without air conditioners. Summers used to be as hot a few years ago too but people did without
this air cooling device but now it has become an addiction. Another example of technological
addiction is the use of vehicles. We have almost forgotten how it is like to walk.

Similarly, we have grown addicted to most of the technological devices.

Negative Repercussions of Technology

This addiction towards technology is destroying us physically as well as mentally. Here is how:

Engrossed in technology, children these days develop social isolation that results in lack of social
skills. Extreme use of technology and a socially isolated life can even lead to depression.

Abundant sources of entertainment are available at home and thus people do not feel the need to
go out. Most kids these days stay indoors rather than indulging in outdoor activities. This leads to
health problems such as obesity, poor sleeping habits and stress.

The use of technology has led to a drastic increase in pollution which in turn is responsible for
various health problems.

Striking a Balance between Technology and Nature

Most people are unable to strike a balance between technology and nature. There are certain
people who are too addicted to technology and their high standard of living that they have almost
forgotten how it is like to live the natural way. On the other hand, there are those who are still
stuck with the old ways of living and are hesitant to use technology to improve their standard of
living.

The idea is to strike a balance between them. You must not go overboard with any of the two
modes of living. It is understandable that you cannot stop working on your laptop or avoid using
your mobile due to the nature of your job. However, you can certainly put it aside when you are
with your family and friends. Talk to the people sitting next to you rather than constantly chasing
the ones far away. Similarly, it is a good idea to try hands at gardening on the weekend rather
than spending time watching movies.
Instead of using elevator or escalators it is suggested to take the stairs. Also for travelling small
distances, it is better to go walking rather than using your vehicle. This way you will not only
indulge in physical activity but will also do your bit to control the vehicular pollution.

Conclusion
Technology seems addictive due to the convenience and easy sources of comfort and
entertainment it offers. However, being one with the nature is no less ecstatic. Try striking a
balance between the two and you will see how your life changes for good.

The Effects Of Technology On Our World

Technology affects people all over the world, both positively and negatively. While I do agree that
advances in technology have made our countries safer and our lives easier, they have also
negatively affected our lives. My parents did not grow up in front of a computer or a PlayStation.
They did not spend hours each day looking at what their virtual friends are doing on Facebook,
Instagram and Twitter. Instead, they went out with flesh and blood friends, played football, or simply
took a walk in the woods. But, of course, they didnt pay for an ice cream using a credit card and
didnt buy movie tickets online.

Advances in technology have brought us online banking, smart cars, smart TVs, lightning fast
computers, and the latest buzz: virtual reality. However, they also brought us cyber warfare, hackers,
identity theft, cyber stalking, and a host of other bad things. Also, people started getting lazy and
more ignorant. Long gone are the days when people were flocking to the library if only to do some
research for a school assignment. Nowadays, one can find everything on the Internet. Instead of
playing some football or having a fun snowball fight, children are playing video games for hours.

Bicycles have been replaced by e-bikes (electric bikes). Rollerblades have been replaced with
electric motorized skates. Yes, theyre fun; cant argue with that! However, they are making children
more sedentary. And, as you know, a sedentary lifestyle has major negative health consequences.
People are slowly forgetting that physical activity is an important part of a balanced and healthy
lifestyle. Consequently, advances in technology are having negative effects on our health.

I agree that technology has taken us to Mars. Many crimes no longer go unpunished due to
innovative technologies that help criminal investigators find the culprits. Thousands of lives are
saved each year by the latest medical technologies (used to perform complex surgeries and identify
life-threatening diseases). There is no question about it: technology is an integral part of our daily
lives.

In conclusion, it all depends on how you use technology. It is slowly taking over the world and you
can find it everywhere around you. How you use technology is important. It is designed to make our
lives easier, but should never be replacing physical exercise, walking, reading, and socializing with
real human beings.
