How Technology Has Impacted Me

Technology has had a major impact on my life. Most of the things in my life that I do are made easy by technology. Without it, it would be very hard to do a lot. I own a cell phone, computer, car, and many other forms of technology. There is one form of technology that I can't see myself without, its my cell phone. Some people are able to do without them but to me it would be a huge inconvience not to have one. I owned my first cell phone when I was in the 7th grade and I've had one ever since. They have really evolved from back then and now you can do just about anything from a cell phone, like emailing, web surfing, instant messaging, record videos and on my phone I also have a mp3 player and radio. I wont be surprised if that in the future people can have video conferences from their cell phones. Technology is constantly being improved on and invented to make our everyday lives easier so that we can save time and energy and in some cases money. Thats exactly what it does for me. In cases where I have to write papers or do extensive research, a computer and the internet can save alot of time and you will be able to navigate alot easier aslo. When I have to write a paper, I just hop on the computer, go to the program and type away. Typing a paper is alot easier than writing one out. If you make a mistake you can just backspace to delete it and then correct it. It's so easy and simple. Using a computer can make writing papers a breeze at times. If I didnt have a computer I know I wouldnt like reseaching or writing very much.


I love that technology is advancing and becoming more and more enhanced. I love to play video games, and video games are one of the ways that show how far technology has actually come. Coming all the way from the game Pong to games on the Wii where your own movements re-enact the movements onto the video games, that to me truly shows that the world has come a long way. I think my life without video games would be ok but a bit boring lol. Another way that technology has made a positive impact on my life is through banking and paying bills. I can do all of my banking online and monitor my accounts to make sure there isn't any fraud going on with them. I can tranfer money, pay bills, and even open a new account if I wanted to. I think that is a good advancement in technology, because it would take a lot up alot of time to constantly go to the bank to make sure everythings how it should be with your account, and with calling, it won't be able to give you specific details that you would want to know. I mean its still ok to go there and call but its alot easier to just look it up and you will be given more information. Paying bills is made easy through technology too. You can call or send your payments in but speaking to someone usually takes a while because in most cases you get put on hold for long periods of time or in some cases the representative has no idea on how to help you. Personally, I do not like being on hold, so if the company has a website that offers your bill to be paid online I usually do it that way instead. I enjoy technology, I hope that it keeps getting better and making our lives easier.
