Life is constantly changing and the reason why is technology. Technology always has been connected with human life and their society and it has progressed since then in many different ways, especially during the last century where it has been created a world that long time ago it couldn’t be imagine. Before that life was so hard to live.
This technology has improved our life’s quality for example in the access to electricity, transports, medical research or communication and now we can say that we’re living in the globalization era where everything and everyone is connected. However these innovations can also hide negatives aspects that can damage our world like pollution, deforestation or animals in danger of extinction.
For these reasons it is important to promote a clean technology with a perfect balance between progress and sustainability. All of us can participate and help in this process by recycling, using white technology or similar to make a better place for us to state and for the people who will come.

Technology is not only the research of microchips, bits and bytes. Each age in human history has his own “technology”. The prehistoric human beings learned how to sculpt rocks to use them for hunting bigger animals or to defend their families. Later, at the Iron Age, metal devices were used to improve agricultural processes, hunting methods and war techniques. So, we can say, society has been changed by technology since the ancient times.
Getting close to our times, the Industrial Revolution changed completely our lifes. The steam machine transformed the society. Lots of handmade works were transformed into industrialized processes. Cities grown up because of the exodus of rural people. Workers formed the Labor Unions to claimed for his rights and new political tendencies appeared (socialism, fascism,…) with two World Wars as a result. Industrial Revolution had the most important influence for the life style of the XXth Century.
The computer research was as important as the Industrial Revolution. Computers have changed the way we work and recently, the way we interact with other people. Besides from making easier most of calculating tasks, computers have transformed our social skills. We can now meet someone who lives in the other part of the world and everybody can access to any information he desires. Everything and everybody is closer than ever, but, at the same time, we are getting far from each other with the excuse to communicate with more “new friends”. Our way of life in the XXIst Century will be determined by the future develop of the social networks. What will be the next step, 3D communications, holograms, teletransport,…? Who knows.

In our attempt to analyze how has technology change our lives, we need to consider a fact that depending on the way of usage, technology is beneficial or harmful to society. We treat technology as a family member, even if that is a little co-dependent. It´s certainly made aspects of our lives easier. We´re no longer forced to send letters through the postal service, book vacations through travel agents, shop in stores, visit the library for research material, or look for a better way for our photos to be developed. Thanks to technology, all of these activities, can be performed either digitally or online.
At the same time, though, technology, can be more complicated, especially when something doesn´t work right or doesn´t do what it´s supposed to.
Say for instance a GPS, device tells you to turn the wrong way on a one way street, or a computer erases all of your important data.
Unfortunately, it´s not always easy to understand how a product service works. It might be preferable to hold off adopting it until a better thing comes along.

In the last twenty years, the tecnology has created a big change in the society, in some cases it has make better and in other it has worsened.
The use and the accessibility from this tecnology has change a lot in the last years.
The tecnological more important has been clearly Internet. This has change the comunication and the society forever. It allow us to talk with
persons that they were too far, you could know a lot of people around the world, you can know a notice that it happens in another part of the
world far from where you live. There have been new movements of the people through internet that have created strikes, manifestation. The mail, the
social networks, the skype, they are a new ways of comunication. Other important thing is the archieve transfer, the legal and the ilegal tranfer has change
the society. In the work you can send to other partners necesary documents to work, this make better the work and the efficacy. The ilegal transfer has
worsened the culture because anybody go to cinema, buy books or cds and this in the future will change the culture. Now in Internet the possibilities
are infinite, you can watch the Tv, read a book, talk with other person, play a videogame with a person that is in another country or continent.
The second thing that I think thas is very important is the mobile phone. Although fifteen years ago We didn´t have any mobile phone and We didn´t need
it, now We can live without a cellular. This make life easier and some moments is very neccesary. Now with your mobile phone you can make a lot of things
you can send emails, watch Tv, internet. Other tecnology things are the electric cars, the mp3 player, the ebooks, this things also are changing the society
and the story. Finally I think the tecnology has helped rather the society but it has created a great dependence that is very dangerous for the children and in
the future I think We will be more impersonal and introvert persons.

Technology has evolved a lot in the few last years. And this evolution has a great influence in our lives.
When I started working 20 years ago, the office I worked in had 3 computers for 20 people. Now a day everybody has their own computer with a flat screen. The idea of working without a computer is inconceivable. Besides most people have computer at home, even portable computers. With all this the accessibility to the information (via Internet) is easy for everyone.
In addition mobile phones have become part of our lives. Everybody has one at his pocket, and the evolution of these devices has been incredible. Listening music, reading books, filing photos, playing games, and communicate with others is now possible through different applications from the mobile phones.
All this technology has changed our lives. But it is important to be aware about them, requiring a great effort. We have to be renewed or die.

Here are some examples of how internet has changed the world.
Personal relationships
Thousands of people know new friends; even they can set up romantic relationships, through internet. Now it is very common heard that an American has a friend in China without knowing physically. Internet is not only used as a communication tool but as a means to set up all kind of social relationships. More than 46 percent of users claim that they have established new personal relationships through the network and more than 61 percent claim that they have continued these relationship out of the network.
Electronic commerce
Trade between companies is being more and more used and this provides more direct commercial relationships between company and supplier.
Concerning the relationships between companies and final customers Internet allows consumers to buy products according to their preferences in a short period of time. They can find and compare prices before making a purchase.
The media
To read a newspaper before it was necessary go to a kiosk and buy one. Now we can read newspaper through Internet and not only national newspapers but newspapers from all over the world. Before it was not possible to stay in Paris and read the English edition of a Japanese journal. Today this is possible.
Internet develops very quickly and it is possible that in the not very distant future the scenario has changed again.

Internet was created in 1960 by Tim Berners-Lee.
First of all I would like to write about the vision of our great grandfather who lived in 1912 (a century ago), and appeared one morning in front of you. Would enter living a schock the early hours of the morning of a day? .
Everyday our habits start plugging our mobile, ipad, .., checking our daily tasks, messages from the boss, looking for the latest addition to our friends on facebook, then we feel our feet on the ground and we start walking.
It's too late so I put a glass of milk into the microwave.The underground stop is at 50 meters from my house, I will be introducing in a tube at 150 km speed. The headquarters of my company is in a building of 35 floor.one black box called elevator is waiting to take me to the top floor. In the meeting room, two Japanese engineers are talking to my colleagues through a videoconference, a large screen shows the latest advances in a robot that is able to speak.
Finally our great grandfather starts to cry , holding our hand tightly and says: beings of another planet have arrived ,back with me to 1912.
Now choose , which would you take technological advance to the past?.

I think we have two way on “ how has technology changed society”. The positives things are: we can see an expansion of communication with the whole world. We feel closer thanks to technologies like Skype, Facebook, Whatsapp. Those kind of technologies set up a social network. Today, on the market we have infinities options to buy and to sell products or services. For companies it’s a big resource to launch a product or service. Everybody can know their product or service. Our society is moved faster and we can save more time.
But we can become addictive to technologies and we can feel distant of other people, because we live inside of it. Abilities of communication can die or be damaged. For companies that means more competition and they need to innovate all the time if they want to survive. Technology can be stressful because we want the answers at the moment and the information overload.
As a conclusion, technology can be good or bad for us. That depends what do you want to be. An addicted and to have a worth health. Or you can choose to use the best side of technologies. You can reach progress, to grow thanks to opportunities that it can offer to us. Do you want to live for technologies or use technologies for live?
