TECHNOLOGY CAN IMPROVE
OUR LIFESTYLE.
What
would we do without technology on these days? Could it be possible to live without
cell phones, computers, and other kind of technological devices? Nowadays,
technology and media information are everywhere you can imagine, for example,
on computers, smart phones, iPads, tablets until in other electronic devices
like new and modern kitchens and refrigerators with screens and internet
connection. Wherever you go or wherever you are, technology is close to you;
you cannot avoid it. A smart and efficient use of technology can be a key
element to be a better professional, family member and student.
First
of all, executives, managers and other office workers must be on line many
hours a day every week because they need to be updated very often. They can
synchronize calendars, mail and any other tools and make them easier having
information when they need it, of course, they can use filters to receive just
what they need and can choose when they need time for personal matters and
control it not to get stuffed. In my case, for example, I love technology, but
I decide what devices to use and what media information to receive. I know when
I need it for my job and when it must be turned off. My computer, iPad,
smartphone, data card and any other kind of technology have improved my
performance like a consultant because some things have been easier to do and to
get.
In
the second place, some families have been affected because of technology. Some
parents have not been updated, some do not learn to use computers, social
networks and manage information. However, on the other side, their children
know all about it. That makes that parents cannot guide them and teach them the
good use of technology and media info. I think parents must learn to use
technology, have it at home but well managed, and this will avoid family
socializing problems, if this happens, parents and children will eat together, share
problems, and seat to have a conversation and do many other activities as a
family.
In
the third place, the benefits of technology for students are uncountable. Here
I have to go back to the past to remember and tell the new generations that I
was one of the students that saw and could use a computer when I was 12 years
old. This computer used a basic draw program with a turtle. When I was in High
school, I had to do homework and extra class assignments at a public library
only with pens, pencils, and books, not even the library manager had a
computer. Today, students have labs with computers, internet, wi fi, outlook,
EBSCO and many other tools to be the best with less effort. Right now
information for a student most of the times only depends on a simple click.
This is easy, isn´t it?
Technology
has a lot of benefits for every single human being. Parents must start to learn
how to use technological devices and the information they can find in the web.
Their children need to be supervised; they need to learn how to use
technological tools and devices efficiently to become the best in every aspect
of their life. Families need time together; they need to talk face to face, more
often, meaning no phones, no computer or iPads. We need to organize and not to get
addicted to tech devices. If you know how to use smartly and efficiently technology
and media information, I guess your life will be easier and simpler.
