There are lots of different technology out there today and our reasons for using them differ from technology to technology. But the most common reason for us to use these technologies is for convenience. Since time is moving so fast today we tend to use technology to save time and energy. Another thing is the need. Most technologies today has become standard for everyday lives thus we are forced to learn and use them. Another reason for using technology is for entertainment. Technologies today are not just made to answer are needs but also to entertain us. The last reason maybe is to blend with society and stay updated with the technological developments that happens on a very fast pace.

Technology is very important. Some people perform their job and daily activities with this technologies. In fact, some people can't live without these technologies. All the technologies we have right now emerged from our necessities and needs. Until now, I fell that nothing have change from the way most people look at these technologies every time.

We use the technology because of the following main reasons:
- use for our job
- leisure time and fun
- make work easy and fast
And other important things that support the daily activity of people.

Maybe, because of people around us, the new fashion trend and the type of job we have, we are influenced or somewhat force to use these technology.

For me, the key factors that affect the changes in technology is the environment which people is interacting with and affects the people's need and the competition between developers.

reasons:
  • Since we are now in what we known as the "Information Age", technology gives us the ability to work with information that already exists, generate new information, store, and retrieve information..
  • Today technology are embedded in our way of living our life. It resides not only in high-tech goods and services but also in human understanding, it influences how we do things , relate to each other, and organize our social institutions.

some points that have influenced us: to use technology:
  • speed
  • less effort
  • accuracy

factors involved in technology change

Aside from what Mr. Andrin, the environment and competition between developers. The solving of our problems also become one of the factors that leads to technology change. The existing technology also creates problem and these problems also became one of the factors why the technology changes.

Good day

We use the technology because:

1. To make our life more easier
2. Entertainment
3. To do our task more Fast and Reliable.
4. Communication
5. Study
6. Infrastructure ,etc

Technology is influential because it has an ability to make our work easier and we can live our lives with ease. For me the main factor that technological change is environmental factor. Myself that is in the world of computers, I can say that using the computers can change the environment in the sense in every use of the computer is consuming an energy. Also in innovation and competition.

Why we use technology?

Because of the rapid change in our environment, technology is really in demand right now. Everyone in different field of interest is using technology and everywhere we go, we see that technologies help us in our daily life. other reasons why technology is being used:

• Technologies do our works more easier with less time consumed
• To be up to date with the latest trend in our environment
• To learn new things
• Technologies give us leisure and fun
• Technologies are part of our daily routine

That are only some of the many reasons why technology is used. These technologies influenced our individual characteristics, not only it influences us individually but also our society. If we would compare our lives today with the new technologies and before having no technology, we would see that our lives have been change. Our way of living is very different. There are different new techniques have been developed. And because technologies are very abundant in our community, competition with the same kinds of technologies come out. And now people are thinking always thinking our new technologies that they can create in order to compete with others.

Technology has been innate to the people in this generation in making a new trend which was impossible before. For the fact that it exists in the humankind even the word technology had not yet founded. Basically, there are a lot of factors which humanity is continuing to evolve because change is the only constant in this world. Problems are the key reasons that drive this technology to evolve itself, on the other hand satisfaction of the mankind is the sub main reasons that made this evolution to develop, healthy competition with companies are also part on this reasons though in real world there are a lot of factors that compose this technology to reach its milestone than before. The point that this thing is influencing to mankind is the trend now a days, but also the demand and needs of the people even though the existing information can be easily found and this could give a solution to the existing dilemma today.

Technology influenced us because it is part of our daily life and will always be part of it. technology influenced one's self in terms of: Character, lifestyle, social development, and its race. Technology is fast changing because of the global change also. Technology change as our necessity for it change.

But sometimes technology can be the one that could make us dependable to. Somehow, it make our chores easier and fast but because of that we became more dependable to them. Though technology is around us, we always depend to our self and the things that we can do with or without it in our hands.

Of course, technology is growingly becoming a very important part in our daily lives. Since then, there are several purposes for those technologies that we have now, they are being used in home, school, college, employment, and many places or things here in this world.

In our daily involvement in the society, there is always the involvement also of technologies, So that is why it is a solution that provides in our daily activity and of course also for entertainments, and without having these kind of thing in this world , there are many disorder things that may occur. And because of that, the is the reason why it influenced us to use this so called technology, its purposes.


Factors also that involve why technology always change are the ff:
*rivalry of several technology products (businesses, personal)
*new technology ideas being learned or experimented


And because of that, every now and then people are always developing those technologies. Since people are always learning everyday…

That’s all..

in the past, technology was used to eliminate or conquer enemies or to win a battle/war. but as of today, the main reason of using technology nowadays is to make our lives easier. technology is used for us to learn easily, live a life at ease, and work in a more competitive world. it is sometimes used in a bad way, that is to control others. the speed, accuracy and reliability that technology brings us greatly influenced us to use it. not only that, another thing that influenced us is to keep up with the trend nowadays. technology evolves in the sense that keeps up with the needs of humans. it goes with the flow that humans created. competition is the main factor that leads technology to change. thanks to the past wars, our technology boosted this fast.

Technology had been a great impact in the human existence. Many experts develop technology for a vast of reasons and goals. The use of technology had been usual in our daily life these days, the phone, computer, internet – few to mention. It had been a direct consequence of the fast emerging of science and engineering in this physical world. Technology is associated for the improvement and development of sectors, therefore we tend to use technology to improve and make of change of our lifestyles. Entertainments, education, information, were few of the sectors why we tend to use technology, for its accuracy, effectiveness, ease of use and many more.

The fast trend of technology had influenced us. The human brain with there creative hands which dealt to innovation lead us to be more attached with technology. Since competition and unsatisfaction of needs and wants had been human nature, then people tend to change and continue the technology revolution to cope up the demand of humanity. That is why as we could observe, there are more complicated researches that experts are studying.

For me, technology plays a very important role in the improvement of the quality of life. It is all around us, and weather we like it or not, we use technology in our day to day living. As what it affects me, it makes our daily chores much easy to do. Fast and accurate data processing. In fact it is very important in hospitals where technology saves lives.
As time passes by, man gain knowledge by what they experience. They make improvements and innovation for achieving a certain goal. Technology is created because of these demands. In some way, technology makes us more dependent in energy resource, because most of these technologies use energy.
Evolution of technology happens because of the necessity of humans. One would be the competitions of different countries. They see to it that they have the most recent and most advance technology. They prepare themselves for warfare in case of conflicts.
Although technology help us in many ways, we must not forget the history and the hard work of our ancestors and how they survive there era without most of the technologies today... study

Technology is everywhere and it has been a part of us, of our daily lives and we get so dependent with these innovations that without it, we would really find it hard to get used to. And eventually, technology will be literally “US”. There are lots of reasons why we adopt technology and I think the heart of all these is the needs. As the saying goes, “necessity is the mother of all inventions.” The need for the faster, need for more convenience, more learning, more entertainment and so on. Also, others embrace new technologies so as to be updated and would always be in the know with regards to the latest trends. As long as humans have these never-ending needs, technology and further innovations will always be there. We are coming of a more “modernized” age and everything seems to be fast paced. Further changes or innovations resurface among these technologies we embraced for the reasons that we need more and something new.

Technology during the past years until now where playing an increasingly important role in any kind of area in our life.

Reasons why we use technology:

1. The most reason why we use technology is to make our everyday living easier.
2. Technology use as a gateway to leisure.
3. Technology use as a source of learning
4. Technology provides information
5. Technology where widely use for interaction among individuals
6. Technology help to minimize our work and make it faster

By the people surrounds us, lifestyle, and we gain a lot of benefits from it are some factors that influenced us.

As what my classmates stated some factors that involved in technology change where the curiosity of an individual, people seek things to gain benefits, because people have no satisfaction in life they always craving for something. And the other thing is environment that surrounds us.

I think we use technology in order to be "IN" in this kind of era of course some will say that using technology can save a lot of time,effort and money i guess but perhaps the impact of this technology really influence us to engage in this things. Technology is evolving and it is really booming now a days we can see that man is not really contented to what he have that's why he continues to innovate in order to meet the word called "SATISFACTION" in his life. The survival of man and the environmental change is somehow may affect the change in technology man wants more,more and more not knowing that what he innovates can lead to another problem it will simply have a domino effect but that's how the cookie crumbles we can't control it simply because in the first place all of us are being tied to it.

Why we use technology.

This is a question which varies depending on the personality that we have. As a student, technologies have a great impact in learning things in a different way. Some of it has its advantages and disadvantages. But looking over the general use of technology it usually gives simplicity and easiness of how things work today:

- to the teaching aspect, technology help in sustaining the need of student to learn things differently and more effectively
- for application on works
- to have access to almost unlimited access to information in the world
- to support how we live and make it easier

These things are few to mention in why technology is being used nowadays. We are influenced of how the world is somehow being driven by technology; in order to survive and be competitive we must be also motivated to use these technologies.

Technology, as observed is forever changing and in a fast-pace. Why are there many manners to which technology could somehow find its trend? It’s because people are asking for more. More convenient, faster, and all are looking for more than just the average.

technology is without a doubt useful to us. imagine shopping, paying our bills, watching movies, even study anywhere, anytime, even without leaving our houses. technology are made to make our lives easier. we are encouraged to make use of our technology today because it somehow became a way of life. if your not aware of the technologies today, it feels like your living on the past and your not moving along with the time.
as they say, our world today is moving fast, so we need technology to catch up., but for me, i say, our technologies are the one making our world move fast, and the only thing we need to catch up is for us to make good use of our technology.

we use technology depending on our needs, before, technologies are enhanced to have the edge in war, but today, technologies are fighting a different war, COMPETITION of technologies. countries/people are fighting for the name "leader" in terms of technology development and breakthroughs, that's why the technology today changes so fast, so fast that we can't almost imagine what kind of future waiting for us Idea

The primary reason we use and exploit the most advanced and available technology today is the benefits it offers. Despite some technology having some unwanted after-effects or by-products, we still utilize its services. The most common benefits the technology may bring to mankind are:

  • Completely eradicating human intervention or involvement in menial tasks or easing the difficulty of doing such tasks
  • Giving people more options in undertaking activities such as decision-making and also providing a whole new option that may not be available when not using an advanced technology
  • Doing tasks and producing results more effective, efficient, accurate, faster, secure, dependable, and also faster and cheaper with the deployment of the technology rather than using an old technology or relying on human capabilities alone
  • In general terms, improving the quality of life


Even though technology can bring great benefits to us, we still have the liberty to use it or not. Some people choose not to use it and preserve their old ways while most are keeping track of the most advanced technology and exploits all the good things it may bring. Some of the reasons why people are going for the technology are:

  • The competition being brought upon people from the competing against other people and also keeping up with the rapid change or growth of the environment of the world where countries must not be left behind or they will be vulnerable to the more advanced countries.
  • The condition of life today is much harder than the past and the costs of living is steadily growing thus using technology would be rather practical than optional.
  • The benefits and advantages are greater than the bad things some technology brings that it is overshadowed and disregarded.


As with the saying “people change with time”, it also goes with the technology. With the rapid changing of the environment, technology must also change and improve to suit and satisfy the needs of the people. But usually, technology changes and improves in order to satisfy not the need but the insatiable hunger of human curiosity and contentment. Even though there are many other factors which drive technology to change and prosper, it can be said that this motivation is the most general and may be the root of other factors.

we use technology since we know that it is the most appropriate tool we could use for certain things that we can't do quicker, faster and better... i simply mean that technology offers great advantages human can't afford.. certainly, as what Toffler asserted in his book Future Shock, "the time between the first and second stages of the innovative cycle-between idea and application-has been cut radically." This means that when technology was brought up, such delays before in idea and application has been cut thoroughly.. technology has the ability to make shortcuts and is able to hasten the processes.

Some factors that influenced us to use technology are the environment, the teachings in school and media..

It is irresistible to adopt with our environment, technology is around us... You can see these tools over many places and with it, their uses have been extensively endorsed to us.
Secondly, it is from school that we learn deeply from these tools, with it we were able to understand its significance and great aid to our lives that's why at the end of the day, we we tend to embrace the existence of technology in our lives..
Finally, the media, it is from them we were informed about new and innovating technologies... Promotion of tecnology from the media is indeed, an irresistible way to attract the audience to use such technologies...


The most significant factors that involved the technology change is the continuous and never-ending of human needs... and more importantly, humans are significantly smarter as time goes by.. when new technology is created, eventually, this calls for humans to create another and definitely, better than it...

At this modern era, technology has been the forefront of research and developments all over the industries in the world. Existence of centers of research and development in technology is gaining the attention of community of every industries and is ruling the trends of business operations in the world. Thus, technology is created and developed for a better purpose and that purpose exhibits us reasons why we have to use technology today. Such reasons are enumerated below in my own perspective.

- minimize the time of work we are spending for.
- maximize the output of what we are working for through effective usage of it.
- achieve the effective and accurate management of works and information.
- create an effective and faster communication and transportation.
- establish healthy and effective competition among different parties in business and
academic areas.
- monitor and prevent the growing threats in the society and country such as terrorisms and
diseases.

There are some points of using technology have influenced us such as we use technology because of what is the new trends nowadays and because of the convenience and effectiveness may bring to everyone and to all businesses. These points are regards of how technology brings and perceives to us in our daily lives today and even tomorrow. It is also a matter of how we take and use technology daily that it can improve the quality of life of us and to other people and to the country.

Technology also changed by different factors involved as time gone by:

- Human necessity also changes through their growing needs.
- Industrial and social trends are moving, growing and changing.
- Human mind is continuously exploring and discovering.

Furthermore, technology has to be used the way it should be for a better purpose in order for it to become an effective one. Through this way, technology will be a great collaborator of human in aiming for peace, quality and progress in life.

The rapid evolution was never expected by anyone even those who lived in the past. Although there are some expectations and prediction that technology will change the lifestyle of people, but not to the extent that everything seems to be just one click. In the past centuries since the beginning of the industrial revolution, inventions were made because of the curiosity of some great persons from the past. The benefits were later discovered after it has been developed and used.

Today, where almost all technologies from different fields were almost perfected, there are instances where the market couldn't cope up with the fast pace evolution of technology. New innovations were developed even when the technologies were on the peak of its success. But the questions are Is there a need to use these technologies? What are the reasons why we use these technologies.


Reasons why we use technology:

  • make difficult things easy - technology can do things which are very difficult for humans to do such as in a construction or in a factory. Technologies were created such as computers were created to solve even the most complex problems faster than human can.

  • make lives comfortable - comfortable not in the sense that we become lazy. Comfortable because of the speed, accuracy, accessibility, portability,economical and saves a lot of time and effort.

  • fun and entertainment - users could experience of total entertainment through the technologies the market has to offer.


There are a lot of factors that influenced people to use technology today:

  • History - the start of what the present looks like.

  • Environment - the environment we are living is revolving around the latest technology. Now its up to us to go with the flow of our environment. But according to my sociology class, people will always be influenced by its environment.

  • needs - lastly, we are influenced because of our needs. Needs that we need to satisfy.


Factors that leads to technology change:

  • competition - the healthy competition in the market makes the technology continuously changing. Vendors keeps on thinking on the future features of technology.

  • market demands - another factor that leads to technology change is the market demand. Because of the advantages that the technology gives to users, the demand for these technologies increases up to a certain moment that technology creates the demand.

1. Reasons why we use technology today.
2. Points that have influenced us.
3. Factors involved in technology change.

Some reasons why we use technology today are:

(a) Making life easier.
We want to make our way of living be simplified.
(b) Striving advance.
Always striving to advance Technology for the betterment. Technology has no limits, Neither do you!
(c) Very important.
Many believe that Technology holds an important place in many life for the development.


Some technology points that have influence us are:

(a) Technology equals Laziness.
Though society has based many of its goals upon advances in technology, this may not be such a desired goal. Society in general has become increasingly lazy.
(b) Technology equals Industrial Revolution
In this way, the Industrial Revolution caused a less tolerant society. One that demanded more work for less, and speed and efficiency as well. The Industrial Revolution was a time where technology was on the rise, and newer faster ways to accomplish the same goals were set into action.
(c) Technology equals War
It was technology not only as a category of analysis but also as a catalyst of modernity.

Some factors involved in technology change are:

(a) Industrial Revolution.
(b) Manpower downplay.
(c) Status Symbol.

Today, no one would argue that technology has become the backbone of almost everything in this world. Almost everyone now is very dependent to technology. It seems like technology now is essential in life.
There are many reasons why we use technology now, either to make it for living, for communication, transportation, education, entertainment and almost everything a human mind can think of. But primarily we use technology to make things easy and fast. The speed of service that technology can offer makes it very appealing to all. It seems like that everyone wants to make things happen immediately the moment they conceived it in their mind as if technology can make all things possible.

Technology has transformed the lives and the way one communicates, how to learn, how to work and how to spend their free time - It has more or less changed every aspect of a human. I think one of the biggest impact technology has create is in communication. Now our way of communication has greatly changed and its change has greatly influence human. Before our only way of communication is thru personal interaction but now there are more than enough ways. In fact there’s now what we called cyberspace where you can experience virtual social interaction extensively. Technology also influences how people think, for example in cellular phone technology. If person text ahead of time that he can not come @ 7:00 am because some sort of problem and then arrives around 8:00 thinking that he is not late because he already texted.

But one thing has really influence us is the speed of technology. Because of the rapid growth of technology nowadays it has change our way of living. In technologically developed places it seems like all people are in a hurry. Unlike in a not so well developed places like for example in Barcelona, Spain as what I have seen in a movie the place seems like in slow motion. They ate breakfast around 10:00 am, lunch in around 3 or 4:00 and so on.
On my own opinion I think the major factor why a technology change is because of the unending satisfaction of human kind. Human is always in search of something, anything that they think it would fill their unsatisfied soul. Some try finding it in their companies, in nature, in material things or on their own self.

In elementary, we learned that technology is the process by which humans modify nature to meet their needs and wants. Technology is increasingly becoming an important part of our daily lives. I listed below about how technology is used at home, school, college, employment and the library.

*Technology at Home - we use technology at home to enable independent living, support your education or for leisure.
*Technology at School - we use technology in the classroom to help pupils with sight problems. It is also use to provide learnings to the students much more easier.
*Technology in College - we use technology in college to provide learning materials for learning and for researches and many more.
*Technology in Employment - we use technology for providing information for employers and employees.
*Technology in Libraries and Learning Centers - we use technology in Libraries and Learning Centers to provide information.

Indeed, technology has provided us convenience in our daily life. It also helps save time and energy. The main point why we use technology is because it makes life easier.
