impact of internet and technology

[Ann Impas]

What sadden me is seeing people looking on their phone the whole time. while seating, eating, walking and even sleeping ( oh my). Technology is a very positive resource if we can only control it but it's a big problem if technology controls us. Imagine, our information is unlimited, we can connect anywhere and know any information we wanted by just typing in. But something we forget to connect to people just seating besides use. That's something not good.

how the technology and gadgets are affecting the mind and health of people. is it in more negative way or is it in positive way??

positive:
better communication with our friends and loved ones, especially overseas.
easily updated to community and news worldwide.
we don't need dictionaries and encyclopedia (expensive) just to do research, the internet made it easy and fast.

Internet and technology have a great impact in the mind of youth in positive way and in negative way.         

     Can you imagine how things were 20 years ago? How we communicate and exchange information with one another? Some things then may not be that accessible to us now, but in this day and age, everything is almost made possible by the advance communications technology surrounding us. Whether it’s printed, audio or visual materials, all are now within our reach, especially because global trading is made available to almost all over the world. And with the invention of internet all sorts of information are accessible to the youth in just a click away. Along with all these, just imagine the vast information being thrown in each and every one of us almost every second. However, as we always say, these developments may or may not be that all …
But all this advancement with advantage tend to corrupt the mind of the youth..
Many youth become internet frudstar and internet addict

* Positive impact

a) The Internet as a medium of communication is the most widely used internet function where every internet user can communicate with other users from all over the world.

b) Media data exchange by using email, newsgroup, ftp and www (world wide web - network of websites) internet users around the world can exchange information quickly and cheaply.

c) Media to search for information or data of rapid internet development, make www as one of the important and accurate information source.

* Negative impact

a) Pornography assumption that says that internet is identical with pornography, it is not wrong. With the ability to deliver information owned by the internet, pornography was rampant.

b) This fraud is rampant in any field. The Internet did not escape the attack of fraudsters.

technology of the Information Age, and with the explosion of wireless communication in the early twenty-first century, we can say that humankind is now almost entirely connected, albeit with great levels of inequality in bandwidth, efficiency, and price.

People, companies, and institutions feel the depth of this technological change, but the speed and scope of the transformation has triggered all manner of utopian and dystopian perceptions that, when examined closely through methodologically rigorous empirical research, turn out not to be accurate. For instance, media often report that intense use of the Internet increases the risk of isolation, alienation, and withdrawal from society, but available evidence shows that the Internet neither isolates people nor reduces their sociability; it actually increases sociability, civic engagement, and the intensity of family and friendship relationships, in all cultures.

Our current “network society” is a product of the digital revolution and some major sociocultural changes. One of these is the rise of the “Me-centered society,” marked by an increased focus on individual growth and a decline in community understood in terms of space, work, family, and ascription in general. But individuation does not mean isolation, or the end of community. Instead, social relationships are being reconstructed on the basis of individual interests, values, and projects. Community is formed through individuals’ quests for like-minded people in a process that combines online interaction with offline interaction, cyberspace, and the local space.

Globally, time spent on social networking sites surpassed time spent on e-mail in November 2007, and the number of social networking users surpassed the number of e-mail users in July 2009. Today, social networking sites are the preferred platforms for all kinds of activities, both business and personal, and sociability has dramatically increased — but it is a different kind of sociability. Most Facebook users visit the site daily, and they connect on multiple dimensions, but only on the dimensions they choose. The virtual life is becoming more social than the physical life, but it is less a virtual reality than a real virtuality, facilitating real-life work and urban living.

Because people are increasingly at ease in the Web’s multidimensionality, marketers, government, and civil society are migrating massively to the networks people construct by themselves and for themselves. At root, social-networking entrepreneurs are really selling spaces in which people can freely and autonomously construct their lives. Sites that attempt to impede free communication are soon abandoned by many users in favor of friendlier and less restricted spaces.

Perhaps the most telling expression of this new freedom is the Internet’s transformation of sociopolitical practices. Messages no longer flow solely from the few to the many, with little interactivity. Now, messages also flow from the many to the many, multimodally and interactively. By disintermediating government and corporate control of communication, horizontal communication networks have created a new landscape of social and political change.

Networked social movements have been particularly active since 2010, notably in the Arab revolutions against dictatorships and the protests against the management of the financial crisis. Online and particularly wireless communication has helped social movements pose more of a challenge to state power.

The Internet and the Web constitute the technological infrastructure of the global network society, and the understanding of their logic is a key field of research. It is only scholarly research that will enable us to cut through the myths surrounding this digital communication technology that is already a second skin for young people, yet continues to feed the fears and the fantasies of those who are still in charge of a society that they barely understand

Technology and internet has revolutionalized the information age I.e the world is now informed.

[shiki3226]

The effect of technology and the internet are very obvious. Life is now more convenient especially in terms of communication and data gathering and research. We are now able to talk to people around the globe and almost all information are readily available as long as you have an internet connection.

[Yalovtsev]

Technology rules the world, especially in today's realities,where technology is so rapidly spreading,and new ones are replaced by even newer ones, and old ones are gone,as are people who are accustomed to old things, and are not ready to change how they die as dinosaurs,as they live in the past and there remain

[sarjilcse]

Well, As the whole world of the "Information Super Highway" is in constant transition, so is the rule of the Internet on education, still being formatted, evaluated and in constant transition.

[Strongball]

There are a lot of positive and negative impacts of the internet and technology throughout
the years. It made our lives easier, faster and more convenient the most. With the advancement
and innovation of technology, new solutions and systems influence how we function, live, work, communicate
and further develop new technologies for the future. The negative part is the exploitation and misuse of these new
technologies for personal reasons. It's an unavoidable scenario, it's human nature I guess. Time will tell, just as history has taught us.

[yurenchuang7125]

Internet and technology has help us connect us to advance modern world and modern tools make our life so convinient.

The introduction of the Internet and technology has had a great impact on our users, especially on education and business, and changed our way of life.

[Dimon8]

Baжнo eщё ктo и кaк иcпoльзyeт coвpeмeнныe тexнoлoгии и интepнeт. Ктo-тo зaнимaeтcя caмooбpaзoвaниeм, зapaбaтывaeт дeньги, xoбби- в дaннoм cлyчae тoлькo нa пoльзy. A ктo-тo игpaeт в oнлaйн игpы, пpocиживaeт пpи пpocмoтpe фильмoв и в coцceтяx, тyт пoнятнo- дeгpaдaция.

[Bestfriendko]

Technology impacts the environment, people and the society as a whole. It is impossible to explore how each new advanced technology has impacted our lives and how it will impact the future. The way we uses technology determines if its impacts are positive to the society or negative. We depend on technology in our daily lives and our needs and demands for technology keep on rising. Humans use technology to travel, to communicate, to learn, to do business and to live in comfort. Technology by its self is not harmful to the society, But the way how  we uses technology to achieve specific goals is what results into negative impacts of technology on the society. This is the price we have to pay living in this modern era.





 

[Falmera]

Nowadays, we are almost dependent to technology and internet as well. Easier production, communication, travel and other transactions. But there are also some negative effects especially to our planet. We are now suffering pollution in many aspects.Polution on the air, land, water and others, like the young mind of our children due to easy access on internet.

[jao18]

Impact of internet in this day is very usefull,you can see things and know about whats happening in different places.technology is very advance today you can learn new things.

[zhanghoqi5]

If a person does not use the Internet for development or work, this is negative.

The Internet and technology have helped us connect us to the modern world.

how the technology and gadgets are affecting the mind and health of people. is it in more negative way or is it in positive way??

Technology and gadgets are tools considered important part for helping people more effective, efficient on their productivity, so basically this is good. but if it comes to mind and health we should dig it more empirically, on my perspective people should have a line or some self regulation like how or when or what they using the gadgets for, because this is really can impact people on both mind and health. is it more negative or is it positive? that a 90% depend by users.

[@maetthan17]

The impact of internet and technology are its makes our works , assignments , searching and communicating in others easier .You can search more and know more in just one click .you can also watch news and movies using internet connection .In this 20th century all now is high-tech .

[FUD Expert]

It's very useful in a positive way but most of us don't really care and became more lazy. It's frequently use for entertainment like hurting and shaming people or watching sexual contents and rarely used on learning purposes to enrich our knowledge.

[UzumakiSakuragi]

It's ok if you use it wisely, but it's taking off people's time and personal space so easily that you might know even notice until you start getting headaches, anxiety problems and troubles sleeping

Technology is develop with good intentions.but some used it for their own advantage..but for me it is very useful thanks to new technology life is more easier..
