IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY

'Its not that we use technology, we live technology.'

       -Godfrey Reggio                                    

The above quote exactly explains the present condition of every human being living on this planet. Technology has touched the life of each and every individual in many ways and we are not just using it, as a matter of fact, we are breathing it all the time.
Internet is that intangible thread which has connected one and all around the world. We are now connected with our dear loved ones who are living far away from us due to their personal commitments and priorities with the advent of technology. Gone are the days when we have to wait for a hand written letter from our near and dears to know about their well being. Instead, with the arrival of video calling services such as Skype, Hangouts, etc. we can ensure about their health by talking with them face to face.
Satellite television is one thing that according to my opinion is the best thing that can ever happen on the face of Earth. It is a great pass-time for the elderly people who cannot go out to relax and change their mood to entertain themselves, one of a kind gadget that keeps you updated with the news around you and your world,  medium which helps in one way interaction with different cultures of the world resulting in diminishing the unknown virtual boundaries between them, viewers can visit different parts of the world siting in their home with the comfort of the couch and comforter, a better way to keep kids in front of our eyes by engaging them with the cartoon shows, learning about different cuisines and recipes by biggest chefs of the world and many more things are possible with the wonder box.
One of the commendable creation by the technology are the computers that are solely responsible for the success of not one but many and made man to avoid committing statistical mistakes.
Technology has made many things possible for an example, I used to hear about floods, natural disasters, civil wars from my grandparents which they had witnessed before I was actually born and the difficulties they had to face during those times. And now with technology at our disposal, these situations can be handled with more care and diligence.
Increasing innovations that are catalyzed by the new technologies have also made way for creativity along with intelligence that are now going ahead hands in hands and products like smart security systems, smart surveillance systems such as drones with in-built cameras, robots like Siri have come into existence that has made the life of many if nothing special but easier.
Indeed there is no doubt on how technology has affected us, it has made our life as easy as a walk in the garden. It has made such an impact on us that we are in awe of it and always greedy waiting for more. There are many among us who can wholeheartedly debate about cons of technology and its impact on various age-groups and be the lifetime advocate always standing against it but believe you can dislike it, might be avoiding it but you cannot ignore it growing around you.

How much Science has an Impact on Us??

Science has always been the field of curiosity for everyone. 
It gives answers to those questions which beyond understanding and these are not based on some gut feelings or year-old beliefs, these are strongly supported by the facts as proofs.
We can take the example of girl child in our society whose birth was considered as an omen and the the mother of the child always got cursed for bringing misfortune in the family but with the facts been provided by the researchers  and scientists which stated that it was the man not the woman whose genes play an important role in the determination of the sex of the child, the discrimination against girls somehow lowered and their status started lifting up to a great extent.
Also, it is science that explained that Lunar Eclipse and Solar Eclipse are natural, unstoppable, spontaneous phenomenon of the Solar System and they have nothing to do with the orthodox beliefs associated with them and thereby condemned them, one of them from the Chinese Mythology stated that the Dragon ate up the Sun and a certain set of rituals like beating drums and utensils has to be performed right at that moment to scare off the dragon from all the sound and noises to get the Sun back.
Impact of Science on us is such that the understanding of complex things has become lucid and easy, concepts have more and more simpler and clearer.
Diseases which previously used to scare the hell out of anyone, even including the doctors have got cure and patients and their families have got loads of hope in return. Treatments have evolved and lives of many get the wind beneath their wings to fly high under the sky. Dancers like Sudha Chandran went on to become a legend with an amputated foot and all this is possible because of a wonder word called Science.
Constant and progressive researches in this field paved the way for new discoveries and innovations.
One of the space mission by Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) in the recent times, Mars Orbiter Mission (MangalYaan) was a success in most of its aspects and the cost per kilometer of travelling Mars Orbiter Mission from Earth to Mars was even lower than that of travelling a kilometer by an auto-rickshaw in Ahmedabad (Gujarat,India). And indeed all of this is only achievable because of the constant drive of the inner-self to satisfy the thirst of curiosity.
Science has made us believe that dreams are achievable, they are meant to become reality one day. All we need is to try hard to make it possible and sky is the only limit then to touch.
Science has an impact on all, living or non-living, in a way of this or that kind, directly or indirectly but surely, it cannot be ignored.

Impact of E-commerce on Us!

I still remember the times when e-commerce to India was an alien concept and all the shopping from the groceries to the appliances has to be done all by ourselves by wandering all around the market comparing prices, visiting different stores, selecting,comparing and many times compromising with our own choice, paying the delivery company for transportation from store to home and what not.
But with the arrival of online stores and increasing growth of e-commerce in India, shopping in our country has become more interesting and interactive. Just analyse the scenario in which we are living today- we can compare the same model on different platforms for best prices available, read reviews from the users who have bought them and then used them, we do not have to pay the delivery guy(courier service) for the product delivery(most of the time) at our doorstep.
E-commerce has definitely left an impact on all the consumers present today in a very good way. We can simply say that it has helped them to become more aware, knowledgeable and smart, also introduced them to a bigger market of options.
It also has promoted a sense of competition amongst different brands which  ensures high quality and highly efficient services and products to the consumers at reasonable prices at the receiving end. Currently, different online stores have propped up which are offering great prices, schemes, coupons and discounts to their customers and customers holds the luxury of visiting more than one store at the same time and deciding which product is better of the lot, one has the freedom to check a single item as many items as they want, hence avoiding frowns and glares of the salespersons and storekeepers and if the item did not appeal, walk ahead and search something else better.
The shoppng experience has now become less tiresome and more comfortable for the people belonging to the service-class in our society.
Secondly and most importantly,the  e-commerce domain has also made a new gateway of opportunities and careers for the youth across the world. On a daily basis, new jobs and new portfolios being created in this field and increasing demand for new recruits promises a bright future ahead.
Also, it has promoted and motivated the entrepreneurs, small-scale businesses to take a step ahead and stamp an impact of their talent over others, now, small scale businesses running from homes or from a small workshop have opened their online shops and turned the tables upside down in their own favour and started making fortunes, there are so many stories on this over the internet which would only make anyone spellbound and speechless.
So, I can conclude that e-commerce has already became a big thing and the impact of it on the society is such that it has helped both the seller and the customer to grow hands in hands.
