your favorite technological advancement. Over the years, the world has gone through various technological changes in almost every sphere of life. Some of these are good while affect us in negative ways. Tell us about your favourite technological advancement today.
Technology is very good however there are other side effect. Technology has greatly improved and change the world. Let me quickly discuss some of these positive changes that occured as a result of technology.
This is a vital component in sustainability of life. Communication is a way of passing information from one point to another through various channels. Previously, inorder to communicate with someone from one place to another takes time and it's usually via the traditional means which includes letter writing, sending a messenger etc but with the advent of technology, a better and faster means has been innovated such as television, Radio, telegram, social media handles, phones, email etc which makes communication easier. Most of these inventions have wide coverage compared to the primitive way of communication which takes days and possibly months. Therefore technological advancement has better and enhanced good communication system.
Education is the bedrock of any society. Technology has really helped in educational sectors especially with the availability of computer. Most schools run online programs now where physical classrooms aren't needed. With good network of internet, students carry out research with ease and accuracy. More knowledge is acquired as a result of this technical advancement.
Technological advancement has cause great efficiency and productivity of most industries. There production rate has increased because of good machine which performs more tasks in a particular time. Therefore technological advancement has made the industry to produce more for greater profits.
I was surprised with the rate at which most organization make profit now without necessarily taking their products to the physical market. I used to say that presently, the life online is gradually overshadowing the offline. Technology has introduced robots and websites portal where buying and selling can be done. This helps to minimize the number of people to be employed and internet is used instead to increase profitability.
I used to say that the online opportunities are enormous. Is just for one to find a niche. With the advancement in technology, many work from home which reduced some of the expenses organization spend on staff. Other online opportunities includes kindle Direct publishers, Hive, steem, forex, crypto Trading, copywriting, etc. There are thousand of jobs people can do from home.
The introduction of fertilizer, tractor, chemical etc Initially, time and much energy was required to cultivate a plot of land but this innovation has changed the narrative. There are hybrid of plants and animals which grows faster to give farmer large yield. The advancement of technology in agriculture can't be overemphasized.
Among the aforementioned one, my favorite is the computer that is used in educational sector. I made research and type my project work with the aid of computer. Even operations on this platform was enhanced by computer. There isn't sector today that doesn't use computer either directly or indirectly.
Another one is mobile phone and internet facility.

In as much as technology has made positive impact in the world, there are other negative effects which includes but not limited to;
Technology has made a lot of people to depend on it for everything which consequently create laziness. When gadgets crashes what do you do? Depending solely on technology has exposed many to danger especially the ray that emanate from some of the machines which can easily kill.
The online platform exposes an individual to fraudulent activity. Some sites are used to extort money from people. Some indulge in crime/cyber activity like hacking etc.
There are many negative effects of technology in the world but just to mention a few.
Once again my favorite technology is computer because it enables me to perform more task, and reduces time wastage.
Thanks so much.
