The Role of Technology in National Development

Technology is the epitome of human evolution. We are the only species we know of to have successfully developed tools, not just primitive ones, that’s been done before by other organisms. The tools I’m talking about are the ones which enhance our senses beyond their human abilities. Tools like GPS, farming equipment, calculators. These are tools that push the limits of human ability beyond what can be naturally achieved. Through these tools we can navigate the earth on a scale far beyond our ancestors, we can turn a field that would have previously taken months, and we can compute mathematics that further our understanding of our very existence. However, these tools might be taking more than they give; at least that’s what Nicholas Carr argues in his essay A Thing Like Me. In his

Technology has become apart of the human way of life. Simply step outside and technology can be seen everywhere. It aids not only our nation, but the world as a whole. Yet there was a point an time in history where technology didn't exists; it was just a mere thought. Such an idea was once thought to be inhuman or idiotic. It was portrayed as witch craft, unnatural, and frond upon because people were unwilling to change and accept new ideas. Yet when beliefs are tested, broken down, and explained, then greatness comes about it. There are people who brave enough to test these theories, without them we wouldn't be where we are today. Technology has been one small step for man, but one giant leap for mankind.

Technology, in the twentieth century, is drastically evolving. Technology has been around since the invention of the wheel. Ever since then, human’s have thought of clever ways to make their lives more convenient. In the twenty first century, there are new inventions, such as smartphones, improved vaccines, innovative weapons, and much more. In Wallace Stegner's essay, “The Wilderness Idea,” he makes a bold statement about humans becoming too dependent on technology.

Doty argues that, during the first stage of human progression, technological advancement is merely another part of natural human progression. Doty introduces the basis for this idea when he says, “There is one Maker, and [humans] are it … Making, it’s plain, is ‘natural’” (8). He emphasizes that creation, and therefore the progression of technology, is an inherent and natural ability when he implies that humanity’s instinctual search for “pleasure” is what drives technological

Technologies can be considered as structural constraints. Similar to all structures human beings have created, they can limit or enable human actions. Technology can be defined as the creation, adaptation, usage and comprehension of mostly machines which are known to make life better and assist in solving a problem (Wright, 2008). In addition to that, technology is also used to perform a specific function. The use of technology by human beings can be dated back when they began creating simple tools from natural resources. From using fire to prepare their food which led to the increase of food production to the use of the wheel which aided in moving from one place to another and environmental controlling, human beings are

Our company will be allowed to access better technology across the world since it will be much cheaper.

In the first chapter of “Technology: A World History” it discusses the first technologies early humans use of tools beginning with cobbles. As tools developed it changed the lives of these early humans. The ever changing technology helped them create more complex tools for hunting, gathering food, protection, erecting shelters, preparing meat for cooking and eating. It allowed them to move around to colder climates. When they went from foraging to farming and eventually settle into one place, which led to the creation of larger more complex tool, textiles replacing animal skin by developing looms that could take fibers that was used to make cloth. Technology although simple in our standards continued to rapidly evolve.

Technological developments are always meant to ease humans’ lives, in terms of commodity, and to offer performing solutions for their needs. However, often the technological developments

Without the different technologies that has developed the man, life today would not be as we know it, the technology is the greatest cause for change in the society. A country with technology is equal to a country with great economy. A clear example is the fact that oil since its discovery, has transformed the world and has been linked to the promotion of new technologies

Throughout history, and particularly in the last century there have been conflicting visions of how technological developments have impacted and solved the many problems of human-kind. Mary Tiles and Hans Oberdick highlight two conflicting visions towards the feelings of technological development. One side is optimistic, that believes in technological omnipotence that could help keep control of the environment and human destiny. On the other end of the spectrum, technological pessimists believe in technological impotence, and that human nature would be incapable of controlling technological advancement, thus extracting all of the Earth’s resources and spiraling out of control. From the optimistic view humans are in absolute control of the technologies that are produced. Technology is used according to its needed purpose, and thus may or may not be needed to help the further development of humanity. For this reason, we can say that optimists believe that technology is value neutral, as human nature is responsible for deciding how we use technology

It helps to view technology not as something separate, but as an extension of humanity, the physical or digital manifestations of our complex, technical mind’s problem solving capabilities. Some of the constants that can be attributed to human nature include our innate curiosity and

Technology has a definite impact not only on our everyday lives but also on the ideologies we pursue or abandon. This change can be clearly seen as society has progressed through from an agrarian culture through the growing pains of the industrial revolution, and into the current wave, the information wave. The role of technology was seen as a tool in the agrarian culture and also as a means for physical exploration of humanity 's surroundings. During the industrial revolution that tool, used to better the agrarian age morphed into a guiding force for social change, intellectual idealism, and scientific exploration. As the industrial age drew to a close, marked by

Technology is an essential portion of a social system and it equally forms and replicates the structure's standards. In the widespread perception, technology spreads our skills to transformation of the globe. Technology help to shape, or set organized resources, to interchange mechanisms from one place to another, to influence beyond with our hands, speeches, and minds. overall, technology has been an influential power in the growth of development. We practice technology to attempt to transform the glob to ensemble us well, but the consequences of varying the world are frequently complex and changeable.

Technology, broadly defined as the use of tools, has a long history. Ever since Erg the caveman first conked an animal with a rock, people have been using technology. For thousands of years, the use of tools allowed people to move ever closer together. Because fields could be cultivated and the technology to store food existed, people would live in cities rather than in small nomadic tribes. Only very lately have Erg's descendants come to question the benefits of technology. The Industrial Revolution introduced and spread technologies that mechanized many tasks. As a result of the drive toward more efficient production and distribution (so the ever larger cities would be supported), people began to act as cogs in the technological machine. Clothing was no longer produced by groups of women sewing and gossiping together, but by down-trodden automation's operating machinery in grim factories.
