What is Technology? According to The National Academy of Engineering “Technology is the process by which humans modify nature to meet their needs and wants.”
To me when I think of technology, I automatically think of just the computers and some kind of electronic device. After doing some research on the internet and reading the Focus book to help me understand and do this blog, I have come more to realizing that technology is not just computers but it’s a man-made object that is modernize almost every time to make it suitable for everyone. There are many ways technology is use in my life for example at home the stove and microwave are different methods of cook and heat up food. Other technologies I use at home are a heater, lamp, camera, radio/alarm clock, TV, and more. At school, I use the computer to help me with my research, taking online classes, and communicating with my teachers through email. I also say using a calculator for math so it will be easier to calculate and graph without using your fingers, paper, and pencil.
I believe starting in middle school (seventh and eighth grade), technology has grown slowly in my life and now I depend on it. I have accepted technology in my life because it makes things easier and convenient in school, at home, and anywhere else. I think that technology is also faster because things go by very quick. I also sometime feel that technology can also make you lazy which then make you depend on it a lot. In addition to laziness and dependence, I feel that we should not depend a lot on technology because some day it would just go away.
