How Technology Has Shaped Society

In the past century, technology has advanced to astronomical new ways to enhance lives and shape society worldwide. Programs have emerged, along with the technology that supports, that can assist with many different things such as correcting grammatical or spelling errors with spell check or tearing down international language barriers with Google translate. Society would have never been the same without all the tech people have grown to know and love. Technology has changed society by revolutionising medical care and treatments, enhancing the way society learns, and have assisted in exploration to venture into immense new areas such as the vast cosmos or the depths of the ocean that have been left untouched till recently.

Technological
advancements have led to an influx of breakthroughs for cures, treatments, or just better understandings of diseases or conditions that would've been a mystery if attempted to treat years before. As of the late nineteen-hundreds as well into the early two-thousands, scientists have developed machinery to make diagnoses easier, therefore making treating much easier Treatments for diseases such as cancer and leukaemia have a higher success rate as of today because of methods like chemotherapy, stem cell transplants, or biological therapy.
In fact, the rate of success has raised from below forty percent to just a little above fifty percent of successful procedures. Technology hasn't just helped in those drastic fields, but in some simple or menial ways as well. Although described as simple, the field of medical research and treatment would never be the same. The first example of the revolutionary equipment would include x-ray machines, x-rays can help view the internal systems of humans to identify irregularities and help with surgical studies and performance to understand the body as well as its functions and flaws. Next up is blood pressure machines, they can be found in nearly any physicians office whether for use for a routine checkup or to survey for something more serious. Blood pressure machines have been used to check for, and prevent concerning matters like heart attacks or strokes by studying the patient's blood pressure and treating with medication that can help with cholesterol for
example. The final device that portrays the way things can be simple, but helps in the medical field is the pacemaker. Probably one of the most revolutionary medical devices ever made, the pacemaker is a device used for heart enhancement or to assist with keeping the natural rhythm of the heartbeat. The pacemaker was developed in the late 1940's when it was discovered that heart's pulses are controlled by electrical impulses. Scientists found a way to recreate the impulses and it led to a lifesaving device that has evolved over the years to be no larger than a coin, but as strong as the heart itself. All of these examples are ways to show how technology has revolutionised healthcare and how much it can change for the better of society.

From satellites to mechanical pencils, technology has changed the way people learn, worldwide.
Schools around the world have been enhanced by the presence of technology. Whether someone is writing an essay on a laptop or studying the mysteries of the cosmos, advances in tech have changed education in ways such as the Smartboard. In classes, of various subjects, it seems no classroom is complete without a Smartboard. The interactive aspect of the boards assists people with kinesthetic and visual learner profiles which can peak interest in the subjects taught or makes it simpler for the students to understand and therefore hopefully hold on to the information better. Another technological advancement for learning is none other than the PC (personal computer) because of its access to many websites linked directly to education such as Google Classroom which is used for teachers to give assignments to students via Google Drive. This website is an excellent way to give assignments to students who are unable to attend school due to an illness or other circumstances. PC's are also useful for the amount of space it takes up in students bags or backpacks. Instead of having to lug around textbooks everywhere they go, students can carry around a sleek rectangle that can hold all the textbooks and papers they would ever need. Modernised schools usually have laptops or tablets use during the school day, making sure that students all have access to the assignments and projects. The
last advancement that has affected learning in a major role is the
