A teen wants to help change the world and make it a better place to live. He wants to be a contributor to peace, economic reforms, the improvement of public services and many other aspects of the society. To him, the best way to contribute to these changes is through modern technology.
Before the advent of the computer, the teens spent much time and effort in using their manual typewriters and had headaches in using erasing liquids, retyping their works, crumpling their papers and throwing them to the baskets. The computer changes this. Now, these teens have ease in encoding their reports, making changes and erasures and print the final work. It shortens their time, saves a lot of money for supplies and helps create presentations that wowed their teachers.
If the computer affects the teens, the internet catapulted the teens in greater heights. The internet revolutionized the way teens look at the world and the future. Through the internet, the teens are able to do research using the available engines resulting to earlier submission of their reports, assignments and other school requirements. Most of all, it gives them the opportunity to interact with other teens and discuss relevant issues making them mature and real decision makers. The internet allows them to post comments and suggestions to various organizations, government agencies and other concerned personalities. If before the teens had a hard time to criticize government leaders for their shortcomings, modern technology had encouraged them to speak up and be counted. The teen wants to be heard, and they got it!
Another technological breakthrough is the cell phone. Almost every teen owns a cell phone, some the lesser types, others the most advanced ones. The cell phone gives them access to persons they want instant contact, be it due to emergency, on issues that need urgent responses or mere social calls. Some tv networks had programs allotted for public announcements and interactions, and these teens express their criticisms, observations and requests for positive actions from the government, Problems are now attended to, thanks to the teens and their cell phones.
Modern technology is so engrossing that a teen feels helpless in accomplishing his daily tasks without the necessary gadgets, equipments and tools. Try imagining of a day that a teen has to be late because he must go to the library but has no way of informing his parents except to scamper to the nearest public phone which might be congested of callers. Or he has to find his way over dusty bookshelves to look for the needed book. What about those teens who are really shy to stand up during forums, and instead will opt to keep silent with a big idea buzzing in his head. What a pity!
These teens really want a change, and modern technology is the answer. But these teens must see to it that in order to help make a better future, they have to use technology for the common good. They must now allow these high-tech tools to enslave them, but rather, utilize modern technology to its fullest for the good of mankind.
Watch the video related to modern technology
North Shore-LIJ and the Brooklyn Museum teamed up recently to learn more about some priceless Egyptian mummies from the Museum’s collection. The Health System’s 64-Slice CT scanner, usually dedicated to the care of cardiology patients was used to learn more about the preserved bodies.
Help answer the question about modern technology
What do you think are the good and the bad influences of modern technology on people?Please help me! I need information about the infuences of modern technology on people, particularly on young ones. This is for my research paper, so please help me! I need to find out the pro's and con's of gadgets. Thanks.
[Quick answer:
It has definitely made our lives easier and more convenient but it has also made us more lazy than we should be. Innovation has obviously helped us, with cell phones, hybrid vehicles, and stuff like that, but in the case of cell phones, the question really is if we all actually need one in the first place -- it's really just a luxury good.
As for cheating, exam rooms just bar cell phones altogether now. You can't use them to communicate or use them as clocks. Being caught using one is too high a cost to pay for cheating.
Just some stuff to get you started. It seems more like an opinion question so you should have stuff to add as well.]
Internet!!! You can communicate with many people online throughout the world! This is also how many companies communicate when they are helping clients from across the world. Also it has created so many jobs such as web design and development, internet marketing, online video etc.
The idea is to have a forward observer, maybe on a hill nearby. You take your best bet, fire a test salvo. The observer tells you where it lands, by flag signals, telegraph or telephone wires, heliograph etc, and you correct for it, up a bit. left a bit, sort of. Earlier artillery was mostly with ships, and the cannon balls were skimmed along the sea surface, at fairly close range, so they could hit the side of the ship, something like ten pin bowling.
i was in the Louvre museum and i touch the Sumerian sculpture..it was definitely a watch.
@ravendearest “as a native American and a practicing witch” your a f*cking idiot
…
Pros:
The world is smaller (it's easier to contact/find people anywhere)
Information is sent/received with more speed/accuracy
Fights the horrors of boredom
Life is "made easier" (theoretically) with gadgets that cook for you, wash for you, iron for you, dry for you, calculate for you, record your life, etc.
In case of emergency, most everyone has a cell phone
Palm pilots, laptops/computers, and similar devices help organize full schedules
Automobiles make travel more comfortable and gets you there faster
…etc.
Cons:
We're all spoiled (that's an opinion, not necessarily a fact)
In case of a power-outage, most of our lives must wait until the lights come back on.
Conversation and relationships are often replaced with telephone calls, emails, and Instant Messaging
Everything is controlled by computers (well, not everything…), which lack common sense and personality.
The media can "steer" the culture it influences wherever it wants… example: body image, power=rich…
…all that to say, we've become lazy because technology does everything for us… the gadgets that were created to make our lives easier just make our lives busier (we have more time, so we do more things)… it's very easy to manipulate large groups of people, but then again, it's also easier to help large groups of people at one time.
You decide
I love my laptop, camera, MP3 player, Microwave etc… but I'm also somewhat addicted, and am often too lazy to go to the Cinema for a movie (I can download it), buy a CD (I can download it), go out for a nice meal (microwave something)… etc.
Hope that helped!
@ravendearest “as a native American and a practicing witch” your a fucking idiot
im sorry this is just bullshit to me… if they were so advanced why havent we found a single shred of EVIDENCE….im not denying that some ancient civilisations were extremely advanced like the egyptians and aztecs however i thinks its just stupid to think they had such advanced tech. xD
Music, like the words in a novel, are the property of the one who wrote them. Downloading without paying is pretty much the same as stealing a CD from Barnes & Noble.
We just make it different in our head, but, you're taking what the band created, without paying the band. Listening to the radio is different. The radio (even on the NET) is providing that service, WITH the band's approval.
Napster, and other sites are providing the music, withOUT the band's approval.

Technology is the downfall of our children. Look at all the ailments children now have due to inactivity because of technology.
Do you see kids outside playing tag, or other childhood games that would be seen up to & including the early 80's?
Granted they can find almost anything in a few moments on the internet & they can keep in touch with friends/family around the world in moments, but obesity is running rampant & childhood diseases are at an all time high due to all these video games, iPods, computers, cable & sateliite channels.
When I was growing up in NYC, I remember having Channel 2,4,5,7,9,11 & 13. THAT'S ALL. I was outside EVERY DAY playing softball, stick ball, wiffle ball, punch ball, roller skating, tag, fox & hounds & so many other things.
Now you rarely see children outside. It's a shame that technology is such a sharp double-edged sword.
iv got to say hes right on this one. the weird thing is all of this is even talked about in the Bible. it talks about the Flood, the giant Niphilim, Enoch and the Garden of Eden, the Stories of the Sumerian tie in Directly with things found in Genesis.
it would be utterly Impossible for men 6,000 years ago to Coincidently imagine these types of technological phenomenons without some sort of VISUAL EXAMPLES of them. when the Annunaki left, their technology left with them.
iLL .
Dude, of all that stuff you just mentioned my channel is huge effing storehouse of information regarding that, drop by.
you fuckin idiots, the egyptians invented ipod too
Yes, instead of answering these questions, I should be praying and/or reading the Bible.
One of the benefits of modern technology is that you can ask this question to thousands of people you will never meet.
One of the undesirable effects is that many people no longer can think for themselves.
Effects. 1. Your question 2. My answer.
Cell phone was not invented by a caucasian it was invented by Henry Sampson a black man.
