Summary: The article is identifying all the aspects of modern life that technology has rapidly changed. It talks about how computers have helped so a many different industries because of the advances. Computers make storing photos, songs, and movies easier, makes doing taxes and keeping records easier and more organized. A computer with internet is a whole different story because with internet we are able to perform more daily tasks quicker than usual. The internet is used for several reasons; purchasing goods and services, instant messaging, video chats with family and friends, almost anything can be done by simply connecting to the internet. Technology has made traveling a lot easier and faster. Forms of transportation such as certain kinds of planes, trucks, and cars have been much more advanced and simplified so traveling from one place to another can be done faster.  The article then talks about how cellphones have connected people more than ever before. Cellphones make meetings with co-workers, friends and family a lot easier to be done. With internet connection on a cellphone people can access information they need way faster than find a computer to access the web.

Response: I believe that technology has played a major role in the way we live today. All of the above uses of technology make life today a whole lot easier than back in my parent’s time. I think that technology ultimately saves a lot of time because of how much more advanced it has become. Without technology many businesses and industries would not be able to perform as effectively as they do. This makes me realize that no matter how much a person would like to stay away from technology and all of the advances, they are affected by it one way or another. Whether a person uses computers or the internet, has a cell phone or even drives a car or rides in a plane, they are taking advantage of technology. The modern life today wouldn’t be the same without any of these advances, I think that it would be a lot harder and complicated.
