What are effects of technology on man's happiness and family life? Does high technology necessarily bring about a healthy and clean environment? Does it ensure the preservation of natural resources or employment and security?
Silva, Shiela Marie (201010717. BSCE) SOCI103-V25 Distance was never been a problem nowadays. Everything was just by a speed of light. Just a click and then ‘puff’ you have it! Imagine yourself going to write letters, go to the post office and wait for few days for someone to know what you want him to know. It is a long process, isn’t it? But now, sitting in a corner, pressing all the keys in you phones or in your keypads your family and friends can know your message in just few seconds. Technology. Finding old and new friends is such one of the biggest purpose of it. In addition to, when your heart is in trouble chatting and telling everyone how you feel about a certain issue of topic makes you feel less pain and then you can discuss and listen to some advices people can suggest you. Listening to your favourite music, watching your most wanted videos and movies and most following your favourite artist can be few of the hundreds of proofs that technology is a part of human’s happiness. In the other side technology may also paralyze people in many different ways. As for example, there is the possibility that different kinds of information and pictures that are not true and too private can be posted on the internet. Therefore, copying or duplicating is far from being impossible. The environment is somehow benefited by the new technologies. The reduction of usage of papers is highly appreciated by most of people but on the other side to they see that how many non-biodegradable materials are needed to make a laptop, a cell phone, and an ipod. Well, How many gadgets can be produced in a month, a year in a decade? Do you think where do old gadgets go after you put that in the trash can? It can produce a big mountain of old gadgets. Let us say some companies or departments are taking care of it but you should take actions. For environmentalists may not be not agree if we, the user are not taking responsibility. Enjoying such may be good but after using them save it and do not just throw it in the trash. Happiness is what we all seek for, what we long for. We are responsible for our own happiness. Technology may add smiles to your face but it may also add tears to your eyes, it is just the matter of taking care of yourself and your privacy.
According to Mr. Arnold Pacey, "Technology is the application of organized knowledge to practical tasks by ordered systems of people and machines."
Technology is everywhere. It is used to chill food, for communication such as cellphones and emails. To research anything online through internet connection and computers. Look around an average home and you can see that technology is the major decoration of it from flat screen televisions to high-class electronic gadgets and thousand of things more. Technology simply saves us from getting bored and make our work easier.
What impact does all this technology have on the life of the family? Well it may strengthen the bond of a family or it may also disbond the relationship between the family members. Usually what happens is that the child isolates himself inside his room and listen to his ipod or mp3 player while his parents are busy watching television or talking to someone over the phone causing separation and loss of interaction within the family.
Like what I've said earlier Technology may also strengthen the relationship of the family. For example the cellphone of the child allows the parents to be updated to wherever he might be, it can also be a source of communication with their parents, or the family may simply spend the weekend playing the advanced game consoles like Wii or XBox.

Technology is the making, usage, and knowledge of tools, machines, techniques, crafts, systems or methods of organization in order to solve a problem or perform a specific function. This has many effects on man, family, environment, employment and security.
Most of the people enjoy the existence of technology. It is one of the most common sources of entertainment. Technology can also help to make ease of works and to communicate easier. Nowadays, technology was almost involved in everything around us. It has automated many critical processes in the industry and even to our personal works. But people became dependent into it, that it even replaces some security. The need for employees brought mechanical robots into society. It also makes us busy that we can’t have time with our love ones, especially to our family. Technology brought about a lot of disadvantages to our environment and natural resources, which are really a big lost even for human. Before these technologies, people have fun together with each other, but now our attention is in those gadgets. It makes sense that we can depend on technology which enhances things and results of works, but it makes our life complicated.
It was good to use and enjoy technology, but we should be aware of the limitations in using it, have discipline, and use it for benefits.
What are effects of technology on man's happiness and family life? Does high technology necessarily bring about a healthy and clean environment? Does it ensure the preservation of natural resources or employment and security? Answer: When it comes to employment, security and man’s happiness I can say that, yes it does. Because first, technology makes our job easier and much better, it helps us in a lot of ways. It helps us to do our job much faster such as computers, printers, mobile phones, internet connections and stuff. Because of these we can do things at the same time we can communicate everywhere we are. It makes them happy as an employee or a worker because they are more effective and efficient on their jobs. But when we say about our environment, I don’t think so. Because some of the technology that was invented is not hundred percent helpful, sometimes it’s more of negative effects in our environment. Some of them cause pollution and damage. It doesn’t really guarantee us that it can ensure the preservation of natural resources, either. Because nowadays most of the people neglect the importance of our natural resources that sometimes they use these technologies to destroy our natural resources.
Bangoy, Rex Ferdinand B. CE-1/201120060 V-25/SOC103
Technology is the process by which humans modify nature to meet their needs and wants. When you think of technology you think of computers and software, aircrafts and other things but technology is more than these tangibles. Technology includes all of the infrastructure necessary for the design, manufacture, operation, and repair of technological artifacts, from corporate headquarters and engineering schools to manufacturing plants and maintenance facilities.
In our daily life technology it can help us because it can make our life easier. Imagine if there are no cars, trains and other means of transportation it will take us long hours before we can get to our destination. Technology brings happiness in our life because it is a means of enjoyment. Examples our the games that we play in laptop or computers. In the case of our environment, I think that technology does not help because as we build more and more things the tendency is that there will be more garbage because of the unused things and some of the materials that will be used may come from nature itself. Natural resources may not be preserved because technology does not only include chips or computers. It also includes roads, buildings or highways which will be built in that environment. When it comes to employment and security, Technology can really help us in this area. Today we can apply for jobs thru the internet as to before we have to personally go to the company.
In using technology we have to know our limitations because it will affect us in the long run if we don't know how to properly use it.
CORTES, Samantha Isabel M. (20101078. BSIT-DA) SOCI103-V25
Technology is the real deal nowadays because it makes our lives easier and faster. People are basically attached to technology as we consider it a part of our daily lives. We also tend to be dependent to technology as if we are going to die without it. Technology indeed makes us happy, temporarily. Many forget that the real happiness is seen and felt in simple things. Most of the people nowadays are contented to live with their iPads, laptops, 3G phones and many. When we are sad, we just play in our gadgets to be regaining happiness. On the brighter side, technology brings really happiness in a way that it connects family in a long distance.
Generally speaking, all kinds of technology have radiation which is bad to our health. When a person is consistently in front of computer, it might damage his eye sight and his skin. But many of our technology nowadays are made to promote greener environment. Maybe technology isn’t bad at all, because there are technologies that actually make lessen the pollution and clean our earth. Nevertheless, it is a give and take relationship of advantages and disadvantages in our environment.
One of the common features of technology is preservation of natural resources. It is hard to take good care of our resources without the help of technology. The disadvantage of technology is it reduces the man power. Technology is almost perfect and far better than the man power because of its accuracy. Many factory workers are fired because of more advance technology that will accomplish the factory works more precise and faster. It also a way of securing data, people and money, with computers, it is possible to determine hackers. Although technology makes our lives, easier, we can never assume that it is a perfect deal in our lives. Technology is basically being run by a source of power so what if that source has down, technology will become useless. Also, technology makes the earth hotter because of radioactive it contains. Still, at the end of the day, we cannot tell it technology is a bad idea or the best idea. All I can say is that technology can be the best thing that happens in our lives if we use it in the safest way.
Llanes, Marc Kristian A. (201010150 BSCE) SOCI103-V25 Technology has grown further as any man could ever imagine. Technology can make our lives easier because instead of working for several days for some research paper, we can now do it in several minutes. Man can be partially happy with that, but the sad part is that a lot of us turn lazy because of the technology. Many people die from obesity, which is cause by lack of exercise. One of the advantages that technology can give us can be seen through distance. We can now connect to people around the world with just the use of cell phones and Internet. It can make us feel closer with one another. Sadly our environment can’t keep up with our technology. One good example is the global warming. Global warming is caused by the pollution from our new technology specially the cars and factories. The fast growth of technology is also endangering our natural resources because of its waste. Lastly and the saddest part, some scientist are developing robots that can replace humans to do their works for much efficient and faster time, and because of that more people will be jobless and poverty will surely arrive to all.
GREGORIO, Jhe Marie M. (201010984 - BSCE) SOCI103-V25
Technology is very important to human lives. There is a whole generation of kids now who are growing up not knowing what was before the internet and the cell phone. This new technology to the older generation is novice and unique in their lives.
New technology may make everyday life more convenient, and may relieve much of the mental stress the average human has to undergo in a given day. However, our increasing dependence on modern devices for everyday tasks is a cause for concern. A new generation of young people is being introduced to a world where certain skills just don't seem necessary and, therefore, may be overlooked. It decreases the intellectual independence of a human.
One of the positive effect of better technology in our environment is it can help us study and better understand how we are affecting the environment. It can also help us to know or measure the distance of incoming typhoons. While one of the bad effects of technology in our surroundings such as the invention of vehicles, air-conditioning and other advanced gadgets has caused air pollution. Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are released into the air, causing global warming. Industrialization has also contributed too much of these.
Technology plays an important role on the everyday life of human, imagine if up to this days we still don’t have a progressive technology, I’m sure everyone is struggling and hardworking on living. Nowadays, technology is considered a part of human life for where ever you look there is technology. Try to remove all those technology inventions you have, I’m sure you would be empty handed and be insane on doing certain works. Technology makes the life of people easier and more convenient to live that’s how technology satisfies and fulfill the happiness of each man. Let’s not be naïve, who would not be happy if doing those mountains of school works are just a few clicks and with a few minutes, magic, your done with all those school works already time to have fun again. Beside from providing a more convenient and easier lifestyle, technology also gives entertainment, life, information, and others to people that’s why technology is a major factor on man’s happiness regardless with the risk we are taking due of technology.
Unlike with the effects of technology to man’s happiness, the effects of technology to family life isn’t just purely positive or what people gain for there is a balance judgment between the effects of technology to the family for the this could be a way of closure for a family or this could be the reason for having a gap on each one them, it depends on how a person would deal with technology and on how a person would limit the superiority of technology in their lives. To explain it further, technology is a best way to have a family bonding, there are a lot of activities and ways that enriched and strengthens the bond a very simple example of it is a faster communication even though one of a family member is miles away you can still communicate to her with just a snap another is through technology works are accomplished faster which mean each member could have more time to be with their family. Technology could lead to a gap of each member, taking the situation of teenagers who are too addicted to only gaming they would rather want to spend their time in front of their computer than to spend time with his/her family.
Health and clean environment is always considered when it comes to technology. When it comes to health, technology aims to make the life span of human longer and have a remedy on each sickness that may come but due of technology there is an alarming rate of diseases that came from technology. The most affected area on the process of making an invention through technology is our environment, for it is where the waste of the process go, but still certain people is still eager on making preserving and making our environment clean.
The preservation of natural resources, employment and security is at always at risk when it comes to technology. I agree that there are certain ideas and inventions that help us to fulfill the aims of each role of technology but we shouldn’t disregard the risk that we also have due of technology like in employment, people are usually on their homes doing nothing for everything was controlled and produce by technology; security usually gives us the comfort that we should have yet it is a big threat to our lives for with just a click a country could turn to ashes.
Thus, technology isn’t just purely a positive thing for humans’ life there are still risk we disregard for technology makes our life easier to live in and adds joy and trill with the everyday life of humans. Who wouldn’t agree with the statement: We are now powered by technology and technology is our life.
Nowadays, technology has many effect to man’s happiness and family life, because technology is anything that reduces human effort, it is anything that simplifies work, and it can saves time that is technology. You can speak to a friend miles away by using your phone. We’re surrounded by technology and it affects to our daily life. Technology can change our lives, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worst. High technology can led to pollutions like air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution, this high technology leads to poor air quality, poor water quality. Compare our environment on the past decades and until now, you will know what are the bad sides and good sides of technology to us, and to our environment. Technology can affect our natural resources because natural resources are connected to the environment that we have. If we have poor environment our natural resources will be poor also. But nowadays some of the Filipinos are using technology for the better future, for better environment, and for better natural resources but we can’t assure that it’s for better because too much technology can have a negative effect to us. I remember the saying of Alan M. Eddison, he said that “modern technology, owes ecology, an apology”. It simply means modern technology or high technology can changed our environment, can changed our life, and can change our natural resources weather good or bad, happy or sad.

It simply means modern technology or high technology can changed our environment, can changed our life, and can change our natural resources weather good or bad, happy or sad.
I admit that high technology contributes to the happiness of a man’s life. These objects or whatever invention it is improves our daily lives. It gives services that we need. Technology also contributes to our happiness because it Is a source of our leisure. High technology has a good and bad effect to our environment. Good effect : It contributes on the newly invented things on cleaning the environment faster, but on the contrary, it also contributes on giving a mess on our surroundings . Factories for example, most of the factories throw their trash and chemicals in the lakes or seas, it kills the water bodies and also it can harm people. No, because as we see, as our technology improves, it gives harm to our natural resources . For example, many mountains are destroyed because business typhoons would build their factories on the mountains, these mountains are important to the earth. As the technology improves, it gives threat to our natural resources.
The technology which surrounds almost everyone in the modern society, affects both work and leisure activities. Technology contains information that many would rather it did not have. It influences minds in good and bad ways, and it allows people to share information which they would otherwise not be able to attain. Even if a person does not own a computer or have credit cards, there is information on a computer somewhere about everyone. The technology which is just now beginning to be manipulated and harnessed is affecting the minds of small children and adolescents in ways that could be harmful. It is affecting our immediate future. It also gives another form of communication and exchange of information which was not available before, information that is both good and bad.
Technology is one of the principal driving forces of the future; it is transforming our lives and shaping our future at rates unprecedented in history, with profound implications which we can't even begin to see or understand.
Many different elements affect how satisfied we are with our lives. The impact of technology on these elements can change how safe, healthy and happy people feel. Throughout history, people have looked for better ways to meet their needs and to satisfy their expectations. Technology has improved the way people feed, clothe and shelter themselves. Technology has also changed other aspects of everyday life, such as health care, education, job satisfaction, and leisure time activities.
Technology surely affects man's happiness and family life. Nowadays, owning new gadgets, equipments, and other inventions makes man happy, especially the youth, for these provide them recreation, leisure, and enjoyment. They are fond of playing the latest games, surfing the net, listening to songs, and other attractions brought by these equipments. This scenario can also affect someone's family life. Because of the habit of using these latest gadgets brought by technology, one may pay less attention to his family. Instead of spending time with the family, he may prefer using his new gadget and this makes the family be taken for granted.
I think technology may bring about a healthy and clean environment if it is used properly. I mean if we use technology to make the earth green, it will be so. We must also refrain from doing activities that may harm nature, and instead preserve it.
In order to come up with new technology, man uses nature as resources. Today, our resources are slowly being used up, until we will be left with nothing. Like oil, that is a non-renewable. So I think, with the continuous improvement of technology, we cannot preserve our natural resources.
Sure thing, as technology creates new products, it also creates more rooms for job employments for production. But I worry that one day, because of technology, all works will be done by computers and robots, and there will be no need for human labor anymore.
Technology is an improved route to an unimproved target. It is associated with innovation. It involves the transformation of ideas into something useful. Innovation is not just limited to creative people and organizations, but it also involves the availability of technological and scientific talent. It has definitely changed our lives for the better.
Looking back in time, we need to realize how much our lives have changed due to the fruits of technology. It has provided us with freedom and less consumption of time and resources. Pointing out a particular technology for the drastic changes in one's life is simply not possible. A nation's economic growth can be measured according to the level of technology. This is because a number of factors are responsible for affecting an individual's life style. The most important factor for deciding the working of a particular technology is the presence of competition. One kind of technology seems beneficial only until a technological advancement does not occur.
As a further matter, technology leads to speedy developments and changes, but at the same time, it gobbles up resources very fast. It means that the depletion of raw materials is also very fast. If whatever cotton produced in one year is consumed by a textile mill in six months, what would happen? The workers would have nothing to do for the rest of the year. If cotton is grown in larger areas where some important crops such as wheat and rice are grown, there will be an increase in production in which cotton fulfils the needs of the textile mill, but these will decrease the production of food crops. Sometimes, it so happens that a farmer becomes tempted to grow a particular cash crop such as cotton in fields used for growing wheat and rice. But this is a short-sighted approach. If every farmer starts doing this, there would be shortfall in overall grain production.
In the case of forests in olden days, cutting of trees was done manually. These days machines are used for this purpose. Hundreds of trees can be brought down in a day. Unless there is a balance between reforestation and felling of trees, there will be no forests left on this earth, and it will spell doom on the environment. This will play havoc with the lives of animals including human beings.
Development of science and technology has no doubt improved living conditions and saved man from many diseases and calamities. By these days, people are not afraid of epidemics like plague, cholera and pox. Their causes have been determined and control measures have worked out. Infant mortality has gone down because of greater health care measures adopted before and after the birth of a child. Many life-saving drugs are available. The science of nutrition has helped in reducing the incidence of ailments. All these things have resulted in the decline of unnatural and premature death rates, and have increased life expectancy.
If human population were to remain constant on this earth, the birth and death-rate should be equal. During the past centuries, when technology was not developed, a natural law used to be effective in maintaining the death rate in proportion to the birth-rate. Developments in medicine and surgery have ensured greater chances of survival and prolonged life-span. But there has been no corresponding reduction in birth-rate. As a result, there has been a steady increase in human population, leading to corresponding increase in the consumption of global resources and greater exploitation of the environment. This is the other side of the coin. Moreover, all we have to do is to bring down birth-rate in the same proportion in which death-rate has been reduced. Again, technology offers us birth control methods to bring down birth-rate.

Every year gadgets like televisions, computers, laptop, cell phones, and such, Helps people in many ways like for example make our lives easier or it can help us easily communicate with others. Simply, Technology has transformed the way people live their lives.
There are positive and negative sides within these things. It highly affect our happiness and our family life because sometimes when one of our family members is in abroad/ out of the country we use technology to communicate with them easily through chats, or simply messaging with them with the use of some social networking sites this simple things makes us happy, while on the other hand it may cause bad effects using this technology might lead us to wiped out the need for our families to interact with each other or it can cause us some illnesses/diseases like the radiation of the monitor to your eyes it can cause of one persons vision became blurred and such. Somehow it’s necessary because through this we are more awake with what’s happening around us. Every question in our mind can be answer in just one click an example of this is a disease like cancer through technology we are aware of what maybe the cure of that disease and how we prevent it. About the security I think no because anyone who can access the internet can be a threat on every one person’s life. For the employment it may easily help a person who is searching for jobs. But there are persons who use this technology to deceive others for their own gain.
Since the Industrial Revolution that occurred in Europe during the 19th century, technology has developed rapidly and become a major part to the development of mankind. Life during the past is purely manual, seems difficult in our point of view. With the help of technology, our life becomes easy and convenient.
Today, technology makes us all happy such as we are all connected with the help of technology; the term distant relationship somehow does not exist. I myself can talk to my father working in France everyday with the help of the internet. However, despite of this, is technology the true happiness? Probably in communication and transportation, it’s a yes. As said awhile ago, technology has become only a major part of life starting during the industrial revolution, but think of the people from the past, they managed to live through out of their life time without this, yet, reading some of their journals, such as the life of Jose Rizal, they enjoyed their life in some ways.
The life expectancy today is generally higher than those during the past. In the 18th century, the average life expectancy is 35 years. Today it is between 75- 80 years. Medical Science improved with the help of modern equipments, a fever during the time of Alexander the Great is deadly, now, with one capsule of medicine, you feel better the following day. Is might be possible that one day, there will be a remedy to every type of disease.
Technology is not the cause of Global Warming. It is man who overuses the technology that causes this. We have been caught in the trap of technology, we look at it like our god, that sometimes we put our life at risk on it. Since the awareness of global warming, scientist is doing all what is necessary to preserve the environment. Treatment plants, garbage facilities, and recycle facilities have been erected to make our environment balanced. However despite the effort, due to the rapid population growth particularly in the metropolitan cities, human pollution still continues to grow.
In addition, some disadvantage of the rapid growth of technology is the decline of manual labour, millions of people lose their jobs because giant factories has transformed into a robotic factory. Furthermore, military technology threatens our life everyday; I believe that history repeat itself, that one day there will be a war, a high tech war that would threaten the human race.
Technology is very useful to us. It helps us in many ways. it makes our life easier than it have to be. Like in communicating our love ones whose been working abroad. instead of writing a letter then send it in the post office. it will take a while send it to our love ones. But in the present. Cellphones are helping us to communicate to them instantly. anywhere, anytime we want. we can talk to them. that is because of technology. and also it helps us to have a better life. And the higher technology we have. the higher the chance that we will have a good health. technology can cure most of our illness or diseases.and for the question, does it preserve our natural resources. i dont agree with that. because we are talking about "natural".technologies have nothing to do with it. its just that technologies are somehow a disadvantage to out nature. like factories. the smoke or chemicals coming out from it can be a big threat to our environment.
It’s always fun to use technology, however, if becoming dependent is evident, then other needs such as good health, exercise, sleep time, education, and even things such as family or friends are sacrificed (StraightUp). Life goes by fast, with many opportunities that should be given to everyone. Technology only speeds it all up, forcing you to wave at them as they pass by, without getting a chance to try doing it with your own two hands, and accomplishing something without the use of unnecessary technological products. Technology does gives us a healthy environment because with such new inventions can make our surroundings much better an example is the air filter of purifier that cleans the air in our surrounding. There are more new technologies such like this that gives a better and cleaner environment.
Yes, technology preserves our environment and gives us a better security in our life, because where so upgraded, it gave us a faster and better leaving that we don’t have to worry much more for our life. This is because we trusted so much our advance technology that gave us more beliefs in them.

The environment is somehow benefited by the new technologies. The reduction of usage of papers is highly appreciated by most of people but on the other side to they see that how many non-biodegradable materials are needed to make a laptop, a cell phone, and an ipod. Well, How many gadgets can be produced in a month, a year in a decade? Do you think where do old gadgets go after you put that in the trash can? It can produce a big mountain of old gadgets. Let us say some companies or departments are taking care of it but you should take actions. For environmentalists may not be not agree if we, the user are not taking responsibility. Enjoying such may be good but after using them save it and do not just throw it in the trash.
Happiness is what we all seek for, what we long for. We are responsible for our own happiness. Technology may add smiles to your face but it may also add tears to your eyes, it is just the matter of taking care of yourself and your privacy.

What are effects of technology on man's happiness and family life? Does high technology necessarily bring about a healthy and clean environment? Does it ensure the preservation of natural resources or employment and security?
Answer:
When it comes to employment, security and man’s happiness I can say that, yes it does. Because first, technology makes our job easier and much better, it helps us in a lot of ways. It helps us to do our job much faster such as computers, printers, mobile phones, internet connections and stuff. Because of these we can do things at the same time we can communicate everywhere we are. It makes them happy as an employee or a worker because they are more effective and efficient on their jobs. But when we say about our environment, I don’t think so. Because some of the technology that was invented is not hundred percent helpful, sometimes it’s more of negative effects in our environment. Some of them cause pollution and damage. It doesn’t really guarantee us that it can ensure the preservation of natural resources, either. Because nowadays most of the people neglect the importance of our natural resources that sometimes they use these technologies to destroy our natural resources.

Technology is the process by which humans modify nature to meet their needs and wants. When you think of technology you think of computers and software, aircrafts and other things but technology is more than these tangibles. Technology includes all of the infrastructure necessary for the design, manufacture, operation, and repair of technological artifacts, from corporate headquarters and engineering schools to manufacturing plants and maintenance facilities.
In our daily life technology it can help us because it can make our life easier. Imagine if there are no cars, trains and other means of transportation it will take us long hours before we can get to our destination. Technology brings happiness in our life because it is a means of enjoyment. Examples our the games that we play in laptop or computers.
In the case of our environment, I think that technology does not help because as we build more and more things the tendency is that there will be more garbage because of the unused things and some of the materials that will be used may come from nature itself. Natural resources may not be preserved because technology does not only include chips or computers. It also includes roads, buildings or highways which will be built in that environment. When it comes to employment and security, Technology can really help us in this area. Today we can apply for jobs thru the internet as to before we have to personally go to the company.
In using technology we have to know our limitations because it will affect us in the long run if we don't know how to properly use it.

Technology is the real deal nowadays because it makes our lives easier and faster. People are basically attached to technology as we consider it a part of our daily lives. We also tend to be dependent to technology as if we are going to die without it. Technology indeed makes us happy, temporarily. Many forget that the real happiness is seen and felt in simple things. Most of the people nowadays are contented to live with their iPads, laptops, 3G phones and many. When we are sad, we just play in our gadgets to be regaining happiness. On the brighter side, technology brings really happiness in a way that it connects family in a long distance.
Generally speaking, all kinds of technology have radiation which is bad to our health. When a person is consistently in front of computer, it might damage his eye sight and his skin. But many of our technology nowadays are made to promote greener environment. Maybe technology isn’t bad at all, because there are technologies that actually make lessen the pollution and clean our earth. Nevertheless, it is a give and take relationship of advantages and disadvantages in our environment.
One of the common features of technology is preservation of natural resources. It is hard to take good care of our resources without the help of technology. The disadvantage of technology is it reduces the man power. Technology is almost perfect and far better than the man power because of its accuracy. Many factory workers are fired because of more advance technology that will accomplish the factory works more precise and faster. It also a way of securing data, people and money, with computers, it is possible to determine hackers. Although technology makes our lives, easier, we can never assume that it is a perfect deal in our lives. Technology is basically being run by a source of power so what if that source has down, technology will become useless. Also, technology makes the earth hotter because of radioactive it contains. Still, at the end of the day, we cannot tell it technology is a bad idea or the best idea. All I can say is that technology can be the best thing that happens in our lives if we use it in the safest way.

Technology has grown further as any man could ever imagine. Technology can make our lives easier because instead of working for several days for some research paper, we can now do it in several minutes. Man can be partially happy with that, but the sad part is that a lot of us turn lazy because of the technology. Many people die from obesity, which is cause by lack of exercise. One of the advantages that technology can give us can be seen through distance. We can now connect to people around the world with just the use of cell phones and Internet. It can make us feel closer with one another. Sadly our environment can’t keep up with our technology. One good example is the global warming. Global warming is caused by the pollution from our new technology specially the cars and factories. The fast growth of technology is also endangering our natural resources because of its waste. Lastly and the saddest part, some scientist are developing robots that can replace humans to do their works for much efficient and faster time, and because of that more people will be jobless and poverty will surely arrive to all.

Technology is very important to human lives. There is a whole generation of kids now who are growing up not knowing what was before the internet and the cell phone. This new technology to the older generation is novice and unique in their lives.
New technology may make everyday life more convenient, and may relieve much of the mental stress the average human has to undergo in a given day. However, our increasing dependence on modern devices for everyday tasks is a cause for concern. A new generation of young people is being introduced to a world where certain skills just don't seem necessary and, therefore, may be overlooked. It decreases the intellectual independence of a human.
One of the positive effect of better technology in our environment is it can help us study and better understand how we are affecting the environment. It can also help us to know or measure the distance of incoming typhoons. While one of the bad effects of technology in our surroundings such as the invention of vehicles, air-conditioning and other advanced gadgets has caused air pollution. Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are released into the air, causing global warming. Industrialization has also contributed too much of these.

Technology plays an important role on the everyday life of human, imagine if up to this days we still don’t have a progressive technology, I’m sure everyone is struggling and hardworking on living. Nowadays, technology is considered a part of human life for where ever you look there is technology. Try to remove all those technology inventions you have, I’m sure you would be empty handed and be insane on doing certain works. Technology makes the life of people easier and more convenient to live that’s how technology satisfies and fulfill the happiness of each man. Let’s not be naïve, who would not be happy if doing those mountains of school works are just a few clicks and with a few minutes, magic, your done with all those school works already time to have fun again. Beside from providing a more convenient and easier lifestyle, technology also gives entertainment, life, information, and others to people that’s why technology is a major factor on man’s happiness regardless with the risk we are taking due of technology.
Unlike with the effects of technology to man’s happiness, the effects of technology to family life isn’t just purely positive or what people gain for there is a balance judgment between the effects of technology to the family for the this could be a way of closure for a family or this could be the reason for having a gap on each one them, it depends on how a person would deal with technology and on how a person would limit the superiority of technology in their lives. To explain it further, technology is a best way to have a family bonding, there are a lot of activities and ways that enriched and strengthens the bond a very simple example of it is a faster communication even though one of a family member is miles away you can still communicate to her with just a snap another is through technology works are accomplished faster which mean each member could have more time to be with their family. Technology could lead to a gap of each member, taking the situation of teenagers who are too addicted to only gaming they would rather want to spend their time in front of their computer than to spend time with his/her family.
Health and clean environment is always considered when it comes to technology. When it comes to health, technology aims to make the life span of human longer and have a remedy on each sickness that may come but due of technology there is an alarming rate of diseases that came from technology. The most affected area on the process of making an invention through technology is our environment, for it is where the waste of the process go, but still certain people is still eager on making preserving and making our environment clean.
The preservation of natural resources, employment and security is at always at risk when it comes to technology. I agree that there are certain ideas and inventions that help us to fulfill the aims of each role of technology but we shouldn’t disregard the risk that we also have due of technology like in employment, people are usually on their homes doing nothing for everything was controlled and produce by technology; security usually gives us the comfort that we should have yet it is a big threat to our lives for with just a click a country could turn to ashes.
Thus, technology isn’t just purely a positive thing for humans’ life there are still risk we disregard for technology makes our life easier to live in and adds joy and trill with the everyday life of humans. Who wouldn’t agree with the statement: We are now powered by technology and technology is our life.

Nowadays, technology has many effect to man’s happiness and family life, because technology is anything that reduces human effort, it is anything that simplifies work, and it can saves time that is technology. You can speak to a friend miles away by using your phone. We’re surrounded by technology and it affects to our daily life. Technology can change our lives, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worst.
High technology can led to pollutions like air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution, this high technology leads to poor air quality, poor water quality. Compare our environment on the past decades and until now, you will know what are the bad sides and good sides of technology to us, and to our environment.
Technology can affect our natural resources because natural resources are connected to the environment that we have. If we have poor environment our natural resources will be poor also. But nowadays some of the Filipinos are using technology for the better future, for better environment, and for better natural resources but we can’t assure that it’s for better because too much technology can have a negative effect to us. I remember the saying of Alan M. Eddison, he said that “modern technology, owes ecology, an apology”. It simply means modern technology or high technology can changed our environment, can changed our life, and can change our natural resources weather good or bad, happy or sad.

I admit that high technology contributes to the happiness of a man’s life. These objects or whatever invention it is improves our daily lives. It gives services that we need. Technology also contributes to our happiness because it Is a source of our leisure.
High technology has a good and bad effect to our environment. Good effect : It contributes on the newly invented things on cleaning the environment faster, but on the contrary, it also contributes on giving a mess on our surroundings . Factories for example, most of the factories throw their trash and chemicals in the lakes or seas, it kills the water bodies and also it can harm people.
No, because as we see, as our technology improves, it gives harm to our natural resources . For example, many mountains are destroyed because business typhoons would build their factories on the mountains, these mountains are important to the earth. As the technology improves, it gives threat to our natural resources.

The technology which surrounds almost everyone in the modern society, affects both work and leisure activities. Technology contains information that many would rather it did not have. It influences minds in good and bad ways, and it allows people to share information which they would otherwise not be able to attain. Even if a person does not own a computer or have credit cards, there is information on a computer somewhere about everyone. The technology which is just now beginning to be manipulated and harnessed is affecting the minds of small children and adolescents in ways that could be harmful. It is affecting our immediate future. It also gives another form of communication and exchange of information which was not available before, information that is both good and bad.
Technology is one of the principal driving forces of the future; it is transforming our lives and shaping our future at rates unprecedented in history, with profound implications which we can't even begin to see or understand.
Many different elements affect how satisfied we are with our lives. The impact of technology on these elements can change how safe, healthy and happy people feel. Throughout history, people have looked for better ways to meet their needs and to satisfy their expectations. Technology has improved the way people feed, clothe and shelter themselves. Technology has also changed other aspects of everyday life, such as health care, education, job satisfaction, and leisure time activities.

Technology surely affects man's happiness and family life. Nowadays, owning new gadgets, equipments, and other inventions makes man happy, especially the youth, for these provide them recreation, leisure, and enjoyment. They are fond of playing the latest games, surfing the net, listening to songs, and other attractions brought by these equipments. This scenario can also affect someone's family life. Because of the habit of using these latest gadgets brought by technology, one may pay less attention to his family. Instead of spending time with the family, he may prefer using his new gadget and this makes the family be taken for granted.
I think technology may bring about a healthy and clean environment if it is used properly. I mean if we use technology to make the earth green, it will be so. We must also refrain from doing activities that may harm nature, and instead preserve it.
In order to come up with new technology, man uses nature as resources. Today, our resources are slowly being used up, until we will be left with nothing. Like oil, that is a non-renewable. So I think, with the continuous improvement of technology, we cannot preserve our natural resources.
Sure thing, as technology creates new products, it also creates more rooms for job employments for production. But I worry that one day, because of technology, all works will be done by computers and robots, and there will be no need for human labor anymore.

Technology is an improved route to an unimproved target. It is associated with innovation. It involves the transformation of ideas into something useful. Innovation is not just limited to creative people and organizations, but it also involves the availability of technological and scientific talent. It has definitely changed our lives for the better.
Looking back in time, we need to realize how much our lives have changed due to the fruits of technology. It has provided us with freedom and less consumption of time and resources. Pointing out a particular technology for the drastic changes in one's life is simply not possible. A nation's economic growth can be measured according to the level of technology. This is because a number of factors are responsible for affecting an individual's life style. The most important factor for deciding the working of a particular technology is the presence of competition. One kind of technology seems beneficial only until a technological advancement does not occur.
As a further matter, technology leads to speedy developments and changes, but at the same time, it gobbles up resources very fast. It means that the depletion of raw materials is also very fast. If whatever cotton produced in one year is consumed by a textile mill in six months, what would happen? The workers would have nothing to do for the rest of the year. If cotton is grown in larger areas where some important crops such as wheat and rice are grown, there will be an increase in production in which cotton fulfils the needs of the textile mill, but these will decrease the production of food crops. Sometimes, it so happens that a farmer becomes tempted to grow a particular cash crop such as cotton in fields used for growing wheat and rice. But this is a short-sighted approach. If every farmer starts doing this, there would be shortfall in overall grain production.
In the case of forests in olden days, cutting of trees was done manually. These days machines are used for this purpose. Hundreds of trees can be brought down in a day. Unless there is a balance between reforestation and felling of trees, there will be no forests left on this earth, and it will spell doom on the environment. This will play havoc with the lives of animals including human beings.
Development of science and technology has no doubt improved living conditions and saved man from many diseases and calamities. By these days, people are not afraid of epidemics like plague, cholera and pox. Their causes have been determined and control measures have worked out. Infant mortality has gone down because of greater health care measures adopted before and after the birth of a child. Many life-saving drugs are available. The science of nutrition has helped in reducing the incidence of ailments. All these things have resulted in the decline of unnatural and premature death rates, and have increased life expectancy.
If human population were to remain constant on this earth, the birth and death-rate should be equal. During the past centuries, when technology was not developed, a natural law used to be effective in maintaining the death rate in proportion to the birth-rate. Developments in medicine and surgery have ensured greater chances of survival and prolonged life-span. But there has been no corresponding reduction in birth-rate. As a result, there has been a steady increase in human population, leading to corresponding increase in the consumption of global resources and greater exploitation of the environment. This is the other side of the coin. Moreover, all we have to do is to bring down birth-rate in the same proportion in which death-rate has been reduced. Again, technology offers us birth control methods to bring down birth-rate.

Every year gadgets like televisions, computers, laptop, cell phones, and such, Helps people in many ways like for example make our lives easier or it can help us easily communicate with others. Simply, Technology has transformed the way people live their lives.
There are positive and negative sides within these things. It highly affect our happiness and our family life because sometimes when one of our family members is in abroad/ out of the country we use technology to communicate with them easily through chats, or simply messaging with them with the use of some social networking sites this simple things makes us happy, while on the other hand it may cause bad effects using this technology might lead us to wiped out the need for our families to interact with each other or it can cause us some illnesses/diseases like the radiation of the monitor to your eyes it can cause of one persons vision became blurred and such. Somehow it’s necessary because through this we are more awake with what’s happening around us. Every question in our mind can be answer in just one click an example of this is a disease like cancer through technology we are aware of what maybe the cure of that disease and how we prevent it. About the security I think no because anyone who can access the internet can be a threat on every one person’s life. For the employment it may easily help a person who is searching for jobs. But there are persons who use this technology to deceive others for their own gain.

Since the Industrial Revolution that occurred in Europe during the 19th century, technology has developed rapidly and become a major part to the development of mankind. Life during the past is purely manual, seems difficult in our point of view. With the help of technology, our life becomes easy and convenient.
Today, technology makes us all happy such as we are all connected with the help of technology; the term distant relationship somehow does not exist. I myself can talk to my father working in France everyday with the help of the internet. However, despite of this, is technology the true happiness? Probably in communication and transportation, it’s a yes. As said awhile ago, technology has become only a major part of life starting during the industrial revolution, but think of the people from the past, they managed to live through out of their life time without this, yet, reading some of their journals, such as the life of Jose Rizal, they enjoyed their life in some ways.
The life expectancy today is generally higher than those during the past. In the 18th century, the average life expectancy is 35 years. Today it is between 75- 80 years. Medical Science improved with the help of modern equipments, a fever during the time of Alexander the Great is deadly, now, with one capsule of medicine, you feel better the following day. Is might be possible that one day, there will be a remedy to every type of disease.
Technology is not the cause of Global Warming. It is man who overuses the technology that causes this. We have been caught in the trap of technology, we look at it like our god, that sometimes we put our life at risk on it. Since the awareness of global warming, scientist is doing all what is necessary to preserve the environment. Treatment plants, garbage facilities, and recycle facilities have been erected to make our environment balanced. However despite the effort, due to the rapid population growth particularly in the metropolitan cities, human pollution still continues to grow.
In addition, some disadvantage of the rapid growth of technology is the decline of manual labour, millions of people lose their jobs because giant factories has transformed into a robotic factory. Furthermore, military technology threatens our life everyday; I believe that history repeat itself, that one day there will be a war, a high tech war that would threaten the human race.

Technology is very useful to us. It helps us in many ways. it makes our life easier than it have to be. Like in communicating our love ones whose been working abroad. instead of writing a letter then send it in the post office. it will take a while send it to our love ones. But in the present. Cellphones are helping us to communicate to them instantly. anywhere, anytime we want. we can talk to them. that is because of technology. and also it helps us to have a better life. And the higher technology we have. the higher the chance that we will have a good health. technology can cure most of our illness or diseases.and for the question, does it preserve our natural resources. i dont agree with that. because we are talking about "natural".technologies have nothing to do with it. its just that technologies are somehow a disadvantage to out nature. like factories. the smoke or chemicals coming out from it can be a big threat to our environment.

It’s always fun to use technology, however, if becoming dependent is evident, then other needs such as good health, exercise, sleep time, education, and even things such as family or friends are sacrificed (StraightUp). Life goes by fast, with many opportunities that should be given to everyone. Technology only speeds it all up, forcing you to wave at them as they pass by, without getting a chance to try doing it with your own two hands, and accomplishing something without the use of unnecessary technological products.
Technology does gives us a healthy environment because with such new inventions can make our surroundings much better an example is the air filter of purifier that cleans the air in our surrounding. There are more new technologies such like this that gives a better and cleaner environment.
Yes, technology preserves our environment and gives us a better security in our life, because where so upgraded, it gave us a faster and better leaving that we don’t have to worry much more for our life. This is because we trusted so much our advance technology that gave us more beliefs in them.
