What are the effects of modern technology?

Answer 1

Technology contains information that many would rather it did not have. And thus, it influences minds in good and bad ways, and it allows people to share information which they would otherwise not be able to attain in other ways. Even if a person does not own a computer or have credit cards, there is information on a computer somewhere about everyone and everything he/she needs.

From an educational perspective many claim that such programmes as word-processors online auto spell, spread sheets etc have removed many of the basic skills required in teh workplace i.e. spelling and math. In addition some are voicing concerns that children are not interacting from a young age because most of their time in a cyber world playing games and not indulging their natural developing communication, team work, problem solving and of course imagination.
