Technology

At first thought I considered technology things like computers, video games, or cell phones. I thought that it had to have a microchip or processor in it to be considered technology. Then in my group I was open to the idea that more can be considered technology. That lights, cars, or any electronic can be grouped into a category of technology. Then in a class discussion my ideas where stretched even more. That even the idea of how something is designed from a new way to build a building, a bridge, or a vehicle could be considered technological. So when I ask myself how technology has impacted me there is many ways technology has changed the way I live life. At first I can think of having a mobile phone that allows me to call anywhere whenever and also has many other functions that I may not even use to my advantage. Then there is the abuse of electricity that society as a whole has taken for granite. Electronics and internet has allowed the world to develop in a whole new and very fast way. Finally the ideas of design have changed the way cities are built. We have earthquake and tornado safe building in high risk areas. There are redesigned safer bridges for commuters. Even this school, well some of it at least, has had new designs to improve its structure. So from this view technology has impacted me a lot on many different levels.
