Impact of Technology on Society

Technology by itself is not harmful to society, but the way society uses
technology to achieve specific goals is what results into negative impacts of
technology on the society. Humans need to use energy to process products
in factories, to run cars, to light homes and also run technological machines
like computers, but the only way we can do this without affecting the
environment and society is by shifting from exhaustible energy sources to
renewable and inexhaustible energy sources like solar/wind energy.
Technology has contributed much to various aspects of life. (https:/www.use-
of-technology/com/society-impact-tech-society/

Technology is not inherently harmful to society. Rather, it is the way


society uses technology that determines its impact. By prioritizing
responsible design, development, and use, we can harness the
benefits of technology while minimizing its negative consequences.
This requires a concerted effort from governments, industries, and
individuals to promote sustainable, equitable, and ethical
technology practices.

Technology has improved transportation. Transportation is one of the basic


areas of technological activity. Both society and businesses have benefited
from the new transportation methods. Transportation provides mobility for
people and goods. Transportation, like other technologies, can be viewed as
a system. It is a series of parts that are interrelated. These parts all work
together to meet a certain goal. Technology has made possible all types of
Transportation and these include (1) road transport used by automobiles, (2)
air transport which is used by airplanes; (3)water transportation which is
used by ships and speedboats, and (4) space transportation used to go to
the moon Technologies like automobiles, buses and trucks have improved the
way humans move and how they transport their goods from one place to
another.

Technology has improved education and the learning process. Education is


the backbone of every economy. People need well and organized educational
infrastructures so that they can learn how to interpret information. Many
schools have integrated educational technologies in their schools with the
aim of improving the way students learn. Technologies like smart
whiteboards, computers, mobile phones, iPads, projectors and internet are
being used in classrooms to boost students morale to learn.

in the past, there was really no technological advancement, that


cause education difficult to access and comprehend. Unlike today,
people can get educated even at their doorsteps without going to a
building called university or college to collect their certificates.
Distant learning and on-line study have made this possible. And it is
because of the technology.

The Role of Science and Technology in Nation-Building

It is a well-established fact that science and technology impacts all aspects


of our lives as well as the planet we live on. The changes induced by science
and technology have for the most part benefited mankind although there is
many a case where science and technology-based innovations have been
used for the detriment of mankind. Pursued for either wealth and power or
both. It is the responsibility of all concerned to ensure that science and
technology is used widely to benefit mankind (Ratnasiri, 2006).

Science and technology has been one of the main driving forces of the
economic growth of nations. Most developed countries have generated new
technologies with potential to result in dynamic economic performance. This,
however, has not been the case with most of the developing countries and
their developmental plans have not given emphasis and importance to
science and technology and in particular to research in the science and
technology aspects. Countries like India, South Korea, and Taiwan in the
region have achieved much through science and technology and stand out
as having demonstrated the absolute importance of science and technology
for economic growth. These countries are example for the developing
countries. The impact of technology on society without doubt is going to be
even more marked in the future.

It is then of paramount importance to generate and develop new knowledge


in science and technology for application nationally through our own
research capability. It is also necessary to concentrate on the rapid transfer
and exchange of proven technologies from other nations to reap the benefits
of the global trends to stimulate our economic growth.

That science and technology plays a decisive role in the economic growth of
nations is a foregone conclusion. It is then pertinent to also consider and
rethink about the role of scientists and technologists in stimulating the
economic well-being of the country. It is well accepted that scientists and
technologists must necessarily generate new knowledge by engaging in
meaningful and appropriate research and developmental activities. A
question needs to be posed to the researchers as to whether their role
should be limited to only the narrow confines of creation of new knowledge.
If scientists and technologists are to contribute significantly to social and
economic changes resulting in the development of the country, their role
should expand beyond generation of new knowledge and assume the role of
advising the decision makers and finally making the decisions on the science
and technology prospects, choices and priorities for the country.

Trusted by Millions of Developers Worldwide

Science and technology have a significant impact on our lives and the planet.
While they have mostly benefited mankind, they have also been used for
detriment. It is our responsibility to ensure that science and technology are
used for the benefit of all.

Science and technology are major driving forces of economic growth in


nations. Developed countries have generated new technologies for dynamic
economic performance, but developing countries have not emphasized
science and technology in their developmental plans. Countries like India,
South Korea, and Taiwan have demonstrated the importance of science and
technology for economic growth.

Generating and developing new knowledge in science and technology for


national application is crucial. Rapid transfer and exchange of proven
technologies from other nations can also stimulate economic growth.

The role of scientists and technologists in stimulating the economic well-


being of the country is crucial. They must generate new knowledge and
advise decision-makers on science and technology prospects, choices, and
priorities for the country.

Edit

Here is a rewritten version of the text in a more cohesive and polished form:

Science and technology have profoundly impacted our lives and the
planet, bringing numerous benefits to humanity. However, they have
also been misused, highlighting the importance of responsible
stewardship to ensure their application benefits all. As major drivers
of economic growth, science and technology have enabled
developed countries to achieve dynamic economic performance.
Conversely, developing countries have often neglected to prioritize
these areas in their development plans, despite the success stories
of nations like India, South Korea, and Taiwan, which have leveraged
science and technology to fuel their economic growth.

To stimulate economic growth, it is essential to generate and


develop new knowledge in science and technology, as well as
facilitate the rapid transfer and exchange of proven technologies
from other nations. Moreover, scientists and technologists play a
vital role in promoting the economic well-being of a country. They
must not only generate new knowledge but also provide expert
advice to decision-makers on science and technology prospects,
choices, and priorities, thereby informing strategic decisions that
benefit the nation.

How can scientists and technologists contribute to achieving the multiple


role which is a dire necessity for the economic development of the country?

Researchers, as creators of new knowledge, must focus their work on


nationally and globally important and competitive areas of research which
are multidisciplinary in nature. This means that the results of research must
be goal and result-oriented. Tangible and significant. On the other hand,
scientists and technologists should be totally committed to add and develop
significantly to the knowledge base in science and technology aspects which
are of economic importance to the nation.

The following are what Science and Technology do for us, except:

a. It helps us save time and money.


b. It has improved education.
c. It makes our life harder.
d. Provides us devices for comfortable sleeping, quick cooking and fast
commute.
