There have been many technological developments in the past few decades, for example in telecommunications, transport and health. What technological development do you think has been the most important? How has it changed people's lives? Have all the changes been positive?

There have been many technological developments in the
last
10 years in various fields, for me, telephones have been one of the most important because they have changed
people
's lives by revolutionizing the way we communicate and work. But not all the changes brought about by
technology
have been positive. First of all, telephones are certainly the invention that has changed our lives the most in recent years. They have allowed us to communicate with
people
physically very far from us, through messages, calls or video calls. We can interact with
people
in a space
that is
no longer physical but virtual.
For example
, through applications
such
as Instagram, we can get in touch with thousands of
people
, even though we don't know them and have never seen them.
In addition
to
this
, the telephone is
also
given credit for revolutionizing the world of work. Today, it is used by most
people
especially in the workplace, to make appointments and organize meetings.
In addition
to changing existing ones, it has created new jobs. In fact, we are talking about influencers or
people
who have made social media their job, which is mainly based on showing their daily lives.
Furthermore
, not all changes brought about by
technology
have been positive. One of the main downsides is that we depend too much on
technology
.
This
thing especially affects those who are already with the
technology
and do not know how to live in a world where there is none.
For example
, every time we go out we always carry our cell phone with us. In conclusion,
although
I don't believe that all the changes brought about by
technology
have been positive, the invention of cell phones has certainly changed
people
's way of living and working forever.
