The technological world

If you ask me what does technology mean to me? I would say: “I do not care, take a look to my cell phone”. Ok, that is a pretty childish attitude, but we should take a deep look into this field. It is incredible how crucial is technology in our daily life nowadays. It is not just about if you are keen on tech or not, because it is something that has reached into every circle of our lives, so you just have to adapt to it. When we talk about the technology we immediately think of electricity, science, atoms in a lab etc. But the truth is that technology is more than that.

According to the Oxford dictionary technology is: the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry, so as you can see technology can be any gadget such as a knife, brush teeth, soap, laptop, etc.

The other day I was watching a TV program in which they show how things were made, and it was shown the plumbing, how life was before the plumbing system were created. Honestly, it was a great thing! So, plumbing is not that important for you, because now you have it, but can you think if it were not like that? Because there are a lot of devices and new technologies that now we have, and we just take them for granted, so it is quite important to see how things have developed during the history.

What do you think? What is your favorite gadget? Can you imagine how would be life without it? Have you ever thought about it?.

  1. I agree with you. I must recognize that technology has taken part of my daily routine in all aspects; in fact, we are all used to it –I think.

    In my case, I must confess that I do enjoy living without much technological devices; actually, I’m not the kind of person who is looking for the trendiest cell phone, game, computer, etc. But, I do like watching T.V—my favorite gadget-- because I love watching movies, series, programmes, and musicals --I couldn’t imagine my life without T.V!

  2. jajaja I guess you're not the only one. Tv, has certaintly play an important role in our lives since it was manufactured, since before it was just the radio and not all of us, feel attracted to listening things, but to watch them at the same time, and that is one of the greatest feautures from this invention.
