    Technologies aren't just all about our gadgets but almost everything we see inside our house and outside that made our lives easier. It helps people to do things efficiently. It can do things that a single person cannot do. Some believed that technology isn't really helpful at all. But come to think of it helped us in every possible way.

     Dial telephones was introduced in 1919 and for you to be able to talk to the person you want to talk to, you have to actually dial it manually. Unlike what we have now, which are cellphones that with a single press you can actually call someone immediately, which is more  efficient. Then we also have iPads which are bigger version of our phones, we can use this in our jobs, our school etc. Like today, most of schools use iPads for better and advanced learnings. We have our laptops which are portable personal computer. The televisions are the one who helps us see the news and help us know what is happening in our surroundings, it also gives entertainment because we can actually watch movies. And then the radios, it may not let us see what is happening but it gives us knowledge what is happening in our surroundings through audio. Farmers use technology to make advances for them to be able to produce more food. Through the use of technology each farmer are reported that they are able to feed 155 people today, when one farmer can only feed 19 people. Many farmers today use technologies such a motorized equipment, modified housing for animals and biotechnology, which improves their agriculture. These technologies allowed farmers to feed more people and requires fewer people to worn on farms to feed their families. Technologies are also used for housing, like Bill Gate's house, it was designed using a Macintosh Computer. So there is this thing called Assistive technology which helps make life easier for a person who has a disability. In speech recognition technology it allows users to convert spoken words to text. Speech synthesizers, which are also called text reading systems, they are used to convert text to speech. One of the most known individuals who uses speech synthesizers is the physicist Stephen Hawking, he suffers from ALS or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Advances in robotic technology make its possible to create prosthetics that can double the natural movement of human legs. This capability promise to improve the mobility of lower limb amputees, allowing them to through stairs successfully and slopes, significantly reducing the risk of falling.  Hearing aids are the ones who help deaf people to be able to hear something. 
     
     I bet there are more technology advances that helped us survive and made our lives more easier than we could imagine. The people now are thinking of improving and innovating these technology advances so it will be better when in use. They may have bad effects like for example when it turns to addiction when using our gadgets but it really depends on how it is used.
