• Improved Communication, Easy Access to Information, and Social Networking

  We now have different ways to access information and even communicate. From just oral passing of information from one generation to the next which may place certainty of facts on the line, today we can rely on books and even online materials to ensure accuracy of information. Also, needless to say, our means to communicate have never been easier, thanks to social media platforms.
• Improved Housing, Lifestyle, Entertainment

  Materials used to build modern houses and other facilities are far more sophisticated than before. You see, smart homes are on trend nowadays. Appliances that employ voice command are definitely convenient. Also, virtual reality concept (in gaming, mostly) has brought entertainment to the next level.
• Convenience in Education

  Also, with the advent of modern technology, education is no longer limited to the classroom setting nowadays. Online classes are the new normal now because of the situation we are in. E-books and E-journals decrease the burden of carrying heavy books. You can have a library inside your laptops and phones! Distant education through online courses and other web-based seminars serve as avenues to reach almost every corner of the world.
• Convenience in Travelling

  After how many days do you think you would reach Baguio City from Indang if you will ride a wagon to get there? Let alone travel another country, or another continent? Thanks to modern vehicles, time and convenience are now in our hands. We now have cars with roadside assistance and maps in order to tell us which route will take us faster to our destination. Be it by land, by air, by water, we can definitely get into our next destination with ease because of our modern day public transport system.
• Change in Health Industry

  Technological advancement has also changed the structure of the medical and health industry as it introduces more sophisticated equipment for diagnosis and treatment. We considered including several modern medical technologies utilized today. Aside from these, recent breakthroughs have allowed for the discovery and development of new treatment procedures and medicines that have helped change the fabric of healthcare for the better and reduce the risk we would otherwise face.
• Efficiency and Productivity

  Modern technology also boosts efficiency and productivity (not to mention profit) through increased production and reduced labor cost. With the development of machines that can perform tasks with precision and at a reduced duration, mass production of goods is done in no time. Of course, reduced labor cost is a result of employing more machines that can replace human labor.
• Initiates Creativity and Innovation

  Another advantage of modern technology is that it provides an avenue for a more creative and innovative approach. Let us take for example businesses that are now online. The owners of these businesses do not have to worry about getting a place where they can sell their products; they do not have to employ people too, which can reduce their business cost. They also take advantage of the free advertising care of social media platforms.
• Job loss and Human Displacement

  With the increase in automation, some business lines choose to invest in automated machines than in hiring people to handle the jobs. While it is good for business, it is definitely not good news especially for people who can only do certain tasks and were not fortunate enough to study and specialize in a certain field. Technological advances have caused excitement towards the development of products with globally-accepted quality but raised some concerns over the possible massive job displacement.
• World Destruction Weapons

  Utilization of these kinds of weapons has primarily an ethical impact, in the sense that these armaments and machineries have caused massive death among countries at war. Look at a nuclear bomb, once it is detonated it will not only affect the target group but can also cause civilian casualties because the radiation from this detonation will affect the generations to come too.
• Increased Loneliness

  Recent technological developments have caused physical social isolation which is the absence of interactive relationship between family members and friends at an individual level. While accessibility is an advantage of social media interactions, somehow, the experience is incomplete.
