How technology had changed our world

I thought people can live without technology. The reason I have this type of thinking is because before 20th century, when technology was still not that advanced, the people were living satisfied lives. They do not need communication technology such as computers. But, in the 21st century, technology is advanced and almost everyone has a computer. Nowadays, even a 5 year old child knows how to use computer. There are three ways communication technology has changed our world.

With a computer, we can access to the Internet. The Internet is a cyber-space, to exchange data with any other connected computer. Internet serves as a useful tool for communication because we can communicate with a person sitting thousands of miles away through instant messaging (MSN) for conversations by chatting or using webcam. Not only that, we can staying in touch by using electronic mail (E-mail), the most popular of the Internet services, to attach photos, music files, and other document together with the message. Besides communication, we can also use the Internet to search for information. The information we want can be easily found within a short period. In addition, the Internet can use for online payments, online shopping, and reading newspapers online, it not only convenient, but also save time. Furthermore, we can earn money through the Internet by running online business, at the same time, we can save cost of owning a shop.

Secondly, computer can keep a huge amount of information and data. The storage for a computer is very big, therefore, we can save our works in the computer. Saving our works in the computer can decrease the usage of papers and so, can prevent from over cutting down the trees. Furthermore, we can download music, videos, songs, and games to computer, it is much more easier as compared to using DVD or CD to watch. In addition, we can upload photos from camera and hand phone to the computer, so we can view the photos in a bigger screen and also delete away the images that uploaded to computer as the memory for camera and hand phone is not as big as computer.

Next, computer helps us be more productive and creative. We can use a word processor such as Microsoft Word to create a term paper. When we realize there are mistakes in our work, we can always edit and save up the corrected work, unlike doing works by writing, whenever there is a mistake in our work, after we corrected it will look untidy. Troublesome are there to complete our tasks, and there is chances where our paperwork might lost during the way to the office. Besides that, we can use the applications such as photo editing, 3D rendering, and desktop publishing for multimedia and graphics to make our project more interesting. In addition, the compact type of computer, which is known as laptop, can be brought anywhere and it is very convenient, for business purpose, laptop can be use to present your works in PowerPoint slides form during meeting.

Communication technology plays an important role in today’s world, we need computer to surf Internet, save data, and increase productivity of work. Without computer, our life will become tougher and works cannot be done on time. In conclusion, computer has changed our world in many aspects and so, computers are our future.


After i read her work, i decide to help her change a bit!!!

How technology had changed our world

The world had changed. Nowadays, I believe that people around the world had been exposed to technology. No doubt, Computer is one of the most influential technologies that have taken over our society. People over the globe can now work and communicate together in ways that were never before possible in history. Information technology such as e-mail, instant messaging, the Internet, and video conferencing has completely changed the way humans communicate over time and space. Computers grew rapidly and widely used through out the world. Therefore, their impact can be classified into three categories; communication, education and entertainment.

Firstly, a computer can access to the Internet. Internet is a cyber-space, and it help to bring people closer together and facilitate contacts between them. For example, we can communicate with a person sitting thousands miles away from us through instant messaging (MSN). If you have a webcam, you can even see their faces clearly. Not only that, we can stay in touch by using electronic mail (E-mail). We can easily access to e-mail almost everywhere using either personal computer at home or public one. Moreover, you can easily to upload photos, download music files, and other document together with the message if you want to make your message clearer.

Besides communication, education was impacted by computers as well. Computers help out students in a lot of today's projects and essays. We as a student can search information easily by looking in an electronic encyclopedia or they could look up their topic on the internet. We can also type our essays and reports on what's called Microsoft -processing program. This program allows you to type anything out from a school essay to business papers. You can make your paper look very neat by adding images and neat looking text to impress your teacher. It helps to keep a huge amount of information and data too. The storage capacity for a computer is very big; therefore, we can save our works in the computer. Saving our works in the computer can decrease the usage of papers and so, can prevent from over cutting down the trees. In addition, we also can upload photos from camera and hand phone to the computer, so we can view the photos in a bigger screen and also delete away the images that uploaded to computer as the memory for camera and hand phone is not as big as computer.

Another area computers impacted on is the entertainment area. Nowadays, in this sophisticated era, people out there like science fiction or action movies, especially the ones with the neat looking effects. Well, those graphics were mostly made by computers. Most of the movies today use computer graphics to make things more realistic but not real. For example the coming Pixar movie Toy Story is a 3D animation that most children or even adults fond to. Not only movies used computer animations and graphics, games on the latest game consoles like the PC, Play station and Nintendo 64 used the computers to make the coolest games ever. Of course all of you heard of the game Final Fantasy VII. It was the first Final Fantasy game to have a 3D environment and neat computer animation. That's how computers impacted today's entertainment.

As a conclusion, computer plays an important role in today’s world. It provides facilities for our life and also creates effective production. In this 21st century, without the computers help, the world would be a dull and primitive. We succeed to produce a useful technology. Now it’s important to utilize the technology that we have.
