 What Is Technology? Owen McCleery MYP5 Technology Technology to me would be an innovation that develops into an invention of a sort that is used to better and improve the quality of life in a small population at first and then to gradually effect the world. I believe that technology is created to allow life to become easier or faster, to sustain the quality of life within a community, raise the quality of life in a country or continent. I feel that technology can be created just through imagination for an abundant amount of people’s entertainment. It can be designed to pick up the pace of the average life style in that I mean make life quicker, like the speed of cars, computers, games etc… When we think of technology we tend to think of a computer or televisions which have been altered into smaller quicker machines which means they try to emphasize on the fact that companies want to create electronic technology in the smallest, quickest and most expensive way possible. Creativity is infinite. There is always something new being created, if imagination were to be limited, innovation much further invention would have no place in our world. Imagination is a useful tool that allows designs to become clear or simpler so that our lives are made simpler. Imagination is the match to innovation. Innovation is the spark to invention. Invention is the flame to creativity. Without imagination uniqueness would be less common among a population. Technology is trying to become faster to simplify our lives. There are negative effects like spelling accuracy has dropped within a population. We rot our brains when we watch television or damage our fingers and lower backs through texting. Electronics are useful in a certain degree, but damage our bodies in a variety of ways which is the usefulness’s counterpart. Life is hard to imagine without technology and imagine the world’s population as it was in the 1900’s or earlier even without internet, low quality of life, more active childhoods and people are defined by their position on the business world. I feel the world would be slow and wouldn’t make the same impact on the world. Life would be slow and inadequate to what we are used to. Life’s changes wouldn’t suit this generation like that.
