Technological Changes?

Question

Technollogy promises to make our lives easier, freeing up time for leisure pursuits. But the rapid pace of technological innovation and the split second processing capabilities of computers that can work virtually nonstop have made all of us feel rushed. We have adopted the relentless pace of the very machines that were supposed to simplify our lives, with the result that, whether at work or play, people don't feel like their lives have changed better.

Motion is: Do changes that make our lives easier not necessarily make them better?

If this is the motion given in a debate, what are the points u would focus upon.

The one which seems to get more closer to issue and gives more points will be awarded with the precious 10 points and will receive my star for all the questions they ask and i will answer those questions too.
So hurry up. Give ur point now!!!!!

Answer 1

Technological changes that make our lives easier also make them better.
Can U imagine a day without electricity?
Can U be without internet or ur PC?
Can Live without them?
Can U walk for 1000s of miles?
Can U see different parts of the world?
There R many issues U can raise if u make this positive. If U make it negative, Where are so many points? Offcourse tere are some negative aspects of it. But even though think for urself.

And by the way ur promotion is good...

Answer 2

It does makes life easier and better as it opens up to many possibilities that is impossible without technology. Technology is a word that covers almost everything. Even simple tools that were use by cavemen are considered technology.

Communications, it makes long distance communication easy and cost effective, enables information sharing. (teleconferencing lectures)

Helps business, increases productivity (think database).

research and development, simulator speeds up R&D and brings the cost down (you don't have to build and test 100 different car design for example, just run simulators), also enables us to research on subject that is impossible to do so without technology (simulation of the big bang, data sorting and storing of all known stars)

There are also certain things that is beyond human's capability that can be done by technology. For example, complex calculations.

Simply put, plays the biggest role in the creation of human's civilization, and the improvement of it to where we are today. Without technology, we could only dream and not make those dreams a reality.

Answer 3

The more technoligically advanced we become, the more danger of extinction we become. Example: Nuclear bombs.
Computers and cell phones make it easier for terrorists to accomplish their evil deeds. It's like opening a pandora's box. You get the good but you also get the bad that comes along with it.

Answer 4

Technology is a broad concept that deals with a species' usage and knowledge of tools and crafts, and how it affects a species' ability to control and adapt to its environment. In human society, it is a consequence of science and engineering, although several technological advances predate the two concepts. Technology is a term with origins in the Greek "technologia", "τεχνολογία" — "techne", "τέχνη" ("craft") and "logia", "λογία" ("saying").[1] However, a strict definition is elusive; "technology" can refer to material objects of use to humanity, such as machines, hardware or utensils, but can also encompass broader themes, including systems, methods of organization, and techniques. The term can either be applied generally or to specific areas: examples include "construction technology", "medical technology", or "state-of-the-art technology".

The human race's use of technology began with the conversion of natural resources into simple tools. The prehistorical discovery of the ability to control fire increased the available sources of food, and the invention of the wheel helped humans in travelling in and controlling their environment. Recent technological developments, including the printing press, the telephone, and the Internet, have lessened physical barriers to communication and allowed humans to interact on a global scale. However, not all technology has been used for peaceful purposes; the development of weapons of ever-increasing destructive power has progressed throughout history, from clubs to nuclear weapons.

Technology has affected society and its surroundings in a number of ways. In many societies, technology has helped develop more advanced economies (including today's global economy) and has allowed the rise of a leisure class. Many technological processes produce unwanted by-products, known as pollution, and deplete natural resources, to the detriment of the Earth and its environment. Various implementations of technology influence the values of a society and new technology often raises new ethical questions. Examples include the rise of the notion of efficiency in terms of human productivity, a term originally applied only to machines, and the challenge of traditional norms.

Philosophical debates have arisen over the present and future use of technology in society, with disagreements over whether technology improves the human condition or worsens it. Neo-Luddism, anarcho-primitivism, and other similar movements criticise the pervasiveness of technology in the modern world, claiming that it alienates people and destroys culture; proponents of ideologies such as transhumanism and techno-progressivism view continued technological progress as beneficial to society and the human condition. Indeed, until recently, it was believed that the development of technology was restricted only to human beings, but recent scientific studies indicate that other primates and certain dolphin communities have developed simple tools and learned to pass their knowledge to other generations.
