We use them every day, whether we like to admit it or not. It doesn’t matter where, at home, at work, or even when travelling. We love communicating. We can’t stop. And why should we? But are there also side effects to information technology?
Passing information to one another has been around for about 5000 years, ever since writing was developed, but the technology part of it is still very new. Well, that depends on how you look at it, I suppose stone tools were considered technology back then. The term comes from the Greek word Techne and was for the longest time used to describe advancements for humanity. If you put the two words together, information technology, you have a revolutionary invention. Computers, but not just individual computers as before, which could use the calculator and other local apps, no, computer systems that were now connected. It’s not only used to keep in contact with somebody on the other side of the world, or maybe even just down the road, but also nearly all workplaces. Ever since worldwide communication through satellites was invented and normalized, in the 1980’ees, things like medicinal resources and overall wellbeing has skyrocketed. Production has also been enhanced, as companies now in a second can communicate with other countries, and because purchases from all over the world are possible. Furthermore, global tourism has grown, aswell with flight schedules every minute.
