THE SCIENTIFIC A
ND TECHNOLOGIC
AL DEVELOPMEN
TS 
AFFECT SOCIETY
From personalized computers
in our pockets to self-driving
cars, the world is at our
fingertips today thanks to
technology.
Technology has advanced into
many areas of our lives
making information more accessible
improving communication
changing transportation
While it is easy to sit back and
benefit from a plethora of
technological advancements, it is
crucial we do not become blind
to its effects on society.
When thinking about
technology impacting our lives,
what comes to mind may be
more extreme than what is
currently at play. 
Small aspects of everyday life in
society are changing, or have
already changed so drastically
that it is merely just a societal
norm.
We may not have flying cars
yet, and artificial intelligence
has not taken over the world,
but technology is still
influencing society.
Many people wonder about
how society and technology
will mesh; this concern is only
amplified when it comes to
children.
Children are being exposed to
screens at an early age,
spending time in front of
laptops, televisions, and other
technology.
This has changed how kids
interact socially.
Technology can make our
lives easier, but with each
benefit comes a potential
cost.
We can still advance
technologically without
impacting society too
immensely by understanding
these costs and minimizing
them.
There is a balance that needs to
be found between correctly
using technology but knowing
when to turn it off.
Finding this balance is in the
hands of the people though,
and will ultimately influence
our society for generations to
come.
EFFECT IN SOCIETY
Our society is greatly suffering
from the increasing
dependency on technology. We
are losing vital social and living
skills because we are so quick
to ask Siri than figure the
Although some companies
have put in effort in raising
awareness to this problem,
such as the “No texting
while driving commercials,"
During an age when technology
is what keeps us connected,
are we really interacting with
each other, or are we becoming
a real life virtual reality game? 
Here are 10 ways that
technology has actually
taken us two steps back,
instead of one step
forward.
1. During social gatherings,
everyone resorts to staring
at their phone. Social
engagement and talking to
one another is minimal
compared to how often
people check Instagram and
2. People are glued to their
phones and can’t leave the
house without it. Leaving
their phone at home even
causes anxiety for some.
3. Texting while
driving… enough
said.
4. Sleep patterns are
disrupted by constant
exposure to the bright
screens on IPhones,
laptops, TVs, and tablets.
5. Navigation is becoming
impossible to do without
the use of technology.
Using a map sounds
barbaric.
6. Information is at our
fingertips, giving kids in
school easy access to
cheating.
7. Physical books are
becoming outdated and
left in the dust by e-
books and audio books.
Bookstores such as
Borders are going out of
8. Cyber bullying and
sexual predator activity
is reaching new lengths.
As technology grows, so
does the means by which
predators and bullies can
9. People’s jobs are
being replaced by high
tech computers.
10. People’s attitudes, in
general, are becoming
more impatient and
entitled. If it isn’t here
right now, then it’s
inconvenient.
