how technology improves our lives: May 2011

Introduction

Technology is the usage and knowledge of tools, techniques, crafts, systems or methods of organization in order to solve a problem or serve some purpose. Technology is always developing and improving giving people more idea’s to expand inventions and make the old inventions better and more useful for their community and the world. Technology helped improve our lives in many ways like in education, health and in communication.

8 Ways Technology Is Improving Education

Technology is helping teachers to expand beyond linear, text-based learning and to engage students who learn best in other ways. Its role in schools has evolved from a contained “computer class” into a versatile learning tool that could change how we demonstrate concepts, assign projects and assess progress.

1. Better Simulations and Models

Improved simulation and models can assist teachers in demonstrating difficult concepts and specifically help students that are visual learners

2. Global Learning (video)

Global learning exposes students to other cultures and puts them in touch with other people around the world.

3. Virtual Manipulative

Virtual manipulative allow students to experiment with unfamiliar concepts and ideas.

4. Probes and Sensors

Probes and sensors allow students to collect data, compute statistics, and analyze results quickly and efficiently.

5. More Efficient Assessment

A more efficient assessment of student progress can be made and monitored with new forms of technology.

6. Storytelling and Multimedia (video)

Storytelling and multimedia encourage teamwork and excites students.

7. E-books

E-Books create a level of ease, convenience and visualization that isn't available with standard print textbooks.

8. Epistemic Games

Epistemic games put students in real-world situations and train them to use innovative thinking.

How can technology improve health:

We use Technology in many ways that improved our daily lives, it was created to make our lives easier and faster, with the development of technology these days many things have changed, and been improved in many felids, one of them is health which is the most important felid of all, because who cares if you have all the richness in the world when you are sick or un healthy and as they say a healthy poor man is better than a wealthy sick man.

Well in case you didn’t notice the unique devices in hospitals these days for example “couches and Trolleys” to help carry sick people who are unconscious or badly injured. Also the “ANETIC AID the Theatre Equipment Specialist” that the dentist uses to check your teeth and see how healthy they are. And most importantly the miraculous surgical procedures that are technology-based, many individuals are dependent upon medical technology to stay alive or otherwise enable people to function outside of hospitals and other medical settings.

There are many devices that the doctor’s use to help us get back to our health so I think technology really has made a huge difference in our life that helped us in many ways.

How can technology improve communication:

Technology exists since machineries started to be invented. From the first electronic thing technology wanted to be more. Today we can communicate through many things, and technology improves our life.

Technology Improves Communication, because without technology communication at this level, wouldn’t exist. Many years ago, communication was resumed at sending letters, communicating through radio waves and military codes. Communication was poor and people had hard time sending information, from one city to another. Since the appearance of phones, mobile phones and computers, we managed to create a global communication.

Technology is very important and so is communication. Technology improves communication also because it makes people bond and keep old relationship or make new ones. Technology helps us talk at great distances; communicate online, talk with people from the entire world in a virtual world. Communication is divided on many levels, and nowadays people are more outgoing, can make businesses more quickly and without any effort. Technology, helps us on any domain, any activity. Today, we are dependent on technology.

Technology includes all the inventions that help us communicate and make our life easier. Like for example computers, internet, cell phone telephony, laptops, Gps`s, satellites, cable etc.

Finally, Technology Improves Communication through inventions and through new gadgets. Nowadays, communication on gadgets is essential. The newer the gadget the best the communication results. To lead a normal life, you have to adapt to the new technology and improve your communication, or else you will remain behind with all the latest things and you will remain alone. Society, people depend on technology and communication.
