Technology is evolving at such a rapid pace it's hard to tell what will happen in six months time. It's hard to predict which products will make it to the market and which will be successful and end up as everybody's favourite toy, business companion or home entertainment device. Every technology if not all has changed our life or the way we used to live, some of them in a manner are more aggressive than others. It's hard to point out to a specific technology and make it responsible for the major changes in our lifestyle, because each and every one of us may be influenced by other things.
Just in my lifetime until a college student, Technology has changed our lifestyle in many ways; we are using computers, when we all used to be paper and pens or typewriters. Started microwave ovens when we used to just have toaster ovens or convection ovens. Started all wireless telephones. Started all TV's and DVD's in cars. Started color TV, videos, CD's, DVD's, and cable TV. Put television cables underground. Made bigger jets & rocket ships. Made money plastic that is to say into credit cards & ATM machines so not needing to go into banks to do transactions. Started recycling and many other things. So technology has really changed our lifestyle in many ways and in what other ways has technology changed in your lifestyle?

It seems that Eric can’t control him self and tries to relate every thing to his desires ;). By the way, all I can say is that, as long as technology is service oriented is going to be accepted since the today’s world economy is just considering to the service oriented offers. However introducing the nanotechnology, space technology and micro technology have assisted the societies; they have bad effects through the today’s world as well. Meaning to say, unemployment, market saturation and social disasters like depression, kidnapping, addiction and so on can be the evidence of the improved technology, but as long as human’s mind set is concerned the unwanted needs have the most motive to introduce the new technologies every day.
Technology also changes my lifestyle such as hand phone so I can bring and still communicate with other people wherever I go, camera and handyman with memory card so I can take a lot of picture and so on.
Technology is so important for us to make our work easier but like what brad said technology also has bad impact to us.
By the following comments from Brad i would like to say that the technology not just provides us some bad uses it is also essential for our daily life.Computer, electricity can be the best example.present world cannot imagine a single day without this.By the way Norel your efforts is good.Don't let it go down,always keep it up.
I do agree with Brad and Nella. There are two sides of a story in each technology device. We have the white and black part of them. I would say that technologies devices make our lives easier. For example like yahoo messenger and msn messenger. Where we do not have to see the individual in person to communicate with them. It gives us the convenience to talk and see them just through the internet and congrats to the person who found the internet that is why we are able to have fun doing blogs like this. The internet also does harm mankind where it can do wonders like hacking into systems and bring an orgnisation down.
In the other hand, certain technology devices are not needed in life. They are merely WANTS and DESIRES of individuals. For example like the Apple iPod. If we think carefully, there is not a need for having an iPod. But with the rate of excitement we are getting with all the new gadgets mankind has invented, I would say it is for the betterment.
you are right norel..technology has drastically changed our lifestyle. for example, 20 years ago you couldn't communicate with your family abroad. nowadays,you communicate with the use of internet, telephones, telex and many others.
I agree to ericobama's comment to a certain extent , for example if they are some people who are curious about sexual relations they might go to a library or go to a doctor to satisfy their curiosity on the topic but with the technology at hand such as the invention of the internet with a single click of a button you will get all the information you need without going through any emberassment
In my opinion one thing that has been a big change in technology in my lifestyle would be my computer , because without my computer i can't surf the net, chatting , do my work , watching all sorts of entertainment without my computer things would be a lot a harder to cope with the lifestyle of the 21st century , where technology is everywhere !
There is no doubt that technology has change my life. For example, mobile phone has help me communicating with other people a lots easier than before. Besides, computer and internet provides me the chance to finish my semester six assignment which is maintaining a blog.
In our world whatever we discover evey thing got some bad effect and some good effect. It depends on the person which one he wants to take.
Technology is one of the invention which can change our life.Now a days everyone have to use computer. For business we have to use computer its not possible to remember all the document. Computer make that and make our life easy. Thats why technology is important for our life.Noor keep it up
In my opinion,a greater technology can be seen in large business firms other than Computers,Handphones,iPods and televisions.In fact,the systems that a company created and used is a technology that help people to work more effectively and efficiently. The major changes of technology in my lifestyle is I could not sleep well without Air-Condition which is BAD and I uses MSN Messenger to communicate with my friends from other countries which is more convenient than sending a letter.
Nooraldaim….! You’ve written about the Technology & lifestyle. Well I like your article because I like the modern technology and today’s lifestyle. In our generation we have all the facilities like Mp3 players, PDA’s, new technology mobiles and this generation people are totally different from oldest generation. When you watch oldest moves you can see the people lifestyle is totally different from now. For example; I can talk about the students from past 10 years to till today about 10 years ago the students were not holding a mobile phone but today every students holding mobile phone, MP3 players, PDA’s and extra this is the life is our generation lifestyle and I really proud of this technology.
There is no doubt that technology has change our lifestyle.technology change every day and i agree with your opinion "Technology is evolving at such a rapid pace it's hard to tell what will happen in six months time."nowsdays the technology change by anytime.In my life the technology change my lifestyle becasue furing the past time i never play computer but now i cant life without computer.
Technology has made us demand and desire for Faster, better or funkier goods.Technology has made my world more entertaining, from life streaming to voip. True, it has its dark side. What i dtetest about technology is that it reduces human interaction, and this reduces friendlyness.But on the general, i think technology has improved and fascilitated lifestyle processes, from communication to security.
Technology is no doubt is the most important thing in the world. Although we could all live without some of the major innovations that we have these days, but they definitely make life a lot easier. Some of these innovations include the cell phone, the television, and safer, faster, and cleaner vehicles. While all of these things make life so much easier, it doesn't mean that we couldn't live without them. Technology also has a downside, which is that fact that as it progress; people have become and will continue to be more and more lazy. To get clearer picture, check out my new blog-post “INNOVATION CAUSE LAZINESS” at http://buzthingz.blogspot.com/ , also I would suggest you to have a look at the following links:

Its true that technology has changed our lifestyle. Technology sources are the tools which have been developed over time to aid us in our lifestyles and increase our comfort levels and efficiency. Technology sources can be said to have been in our lives since time immemorial. Be it electricity, telephones, medicinal discoveries, transportation etc., everything has added to our comfort and performance. the most important contribution of technology to society is making the lives of common people much easier and helping them achieve what was previously not possible. Also, the usage of technology has added a new dimension to the work related community. Now with the use of Internet, pagers, mobile phones, the working member of the family can be attend to the office work while at the same time providing due attention to his/her family.
On the other hand this huge development in technology has affected our lifestyles in a negative sense also. The tremendous development in technology has affected the lifestyle of people in society. It will be wrong to say that the progress in technology is for the betterment of the society since it has had bad implications also on people. It is also affecting work, family, and the economy, introducing new forms of tension and distraction, and posing new threats to the cohesion of our physical communities. However, the good and bad effects of technology depend completely on the amount of exposure people get to the technology source and the use they derive from the same.
