TECHNOLOGY
MODULE 1
Overview
The quickening pace of evolution in technology is very evident in this era. It seems that it
is progressing faster than ever. From year to year, the evolution of technology is one of
staggering promise and opportunity--as well as uncertainty. Basically, technology has
been around before, and as long as there are people, information technology will be
there also because there were always ways of communicating through technology
available at that point in time. The future may be unknown, but digital advancement
continues to reshape our world in ways that encourage people to form new habits, find
new ways to work together, and become better human beings. And, in most cases, these
changes translate into a range of opportunities and disruptions across every industry.
Humans have always been quick to adapt technologies for better and faster
communication.
