Why is important for us?

It is important to analyze the evolution and the impact of the technology
because more people are dependent on this type of technological devices
and this can have positive and negative experiences in their daily life.
The youth of today are constantly immersed in technological advancements
that promote nonstop communication through cell phones, gaming systems,
laptops, or MP3 players. However, are these technological advancements a
good thing?

Benefits or interests ?
Technology has brought great benefits to humans, such as the invention of
devices for diagnosing diseases in medicine, the creation and improvement of
tools and accessories that are useful to simplify the work at home
Technological advances have been manipulated to comply particular interests
such as:
Develop innovative firearms
Satellites to establish targets for massive weapons
Use of computers to falsifying paper money and official documents
Making illegal copies of CDs
Create damaging advertising and pornography on the Internet among other

History of Computing
The technology and computing have allowed humans to perform tasks that
were not possible before and tasks that previously took months or years to
perform with many people perform in a few seconds or minutes with one
person.
Before the transistor, computers were built mechanically.
Computers were much more fragile and required constant maintenance.
Computer careers were very different from what they are today.
